Trump ‘frustrated’ with Cuba’s ability to withstand pressure, considers military action

US President Donald Trump has grown “increasingly frustrated” with Cuba and its ability to withstand months of US pressure, and is considering waging an act of aggression against the Caribbean country, according to a report. 

NBC News reported on Monday that American officials have told Trump that the government of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel “could still fall by the end of the year” without military action, but the US president is not willing to wait that long.

Trump’s impatience, the report added, has prompted the Pentagon to ramp up planning for a possible attack against the island country.

Last week, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Cuban government had rejected $100 million in humanitarian aid offered by Washington.

He also called it “an unacceptable status quo” that the US has, “90 miles from our shores, a failed state that also happens to be friendly territory for some of our adversaries.”

For more than six decades, Cuba has been subject to increased inhumane US sanctions in flagrant violation of the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.

The Trump administration has intensified the campaign of pressure against Cuba since January, when the US kidnapped Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro following an illegal military assault.

In February, the US president imposed an oil blockade on Cuba, while also repeatedly hinting at a possible “regime change” operation against the Latin American state.

Last month, the Cuban president told NBC News that he is willing to sacrifice his life for his homeland.

“If the time comes, I don’t think there would be any justification for the United States to launch a military aggression against Cuba, or for the US to undertake a surgical operation, like the kidnapping of a president,” Díaz-Canel said, referring to the abduction of Maduro.

“If that happens, there will be fighting and there will be a struggle. And we’ll defend ourselves. And if we need to die, we’ll die, because as our national anthem says, ‘Dying for the homeland is to live.’”

The Trump administration is looking for a face-saving way to escape the Iran war quagmire it has become trapped in.

Earlier, Trump said that “we may stop by Cuba after we’re finished with this,” in reference to the illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, which began on February 28 and stopped under a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire on April 8.

  1. The Russians had to save Europe from the Germans so that the Yanks could “save” them. Then the Yanks had their arses kicked in Korea, and in forever wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, Ukraine and now, in league with the zionist entity, they are getting pummelled by Iran.

    They have also been continually humiliated by Canada lately, so their only way of saving face is to launch a military attack on Cuba, which has had the “an unacceptable status quo” that Cuba has, “90 miles from our shores”, a failed, insolvent American state that also happens to be friendly territory for the zionist regime that owns the JooSA!”

    If these losers go ahead with this newest insane misadventure then they could add the military victory of Cuba to Puerto Rico, the only other military incursion that they have won, EVER!!!

    Bloody incompetent Yanks can’t even carry out an assassination properly!!

    • The US might be able to bomb Cuba, loongtip, but they could never successfully invade it, Moreover the Russians have pledged to defend Cuba, and they would face open war with Russia.

    Wow! Unbelievable! Especially since I have read multiple articles that state millions of Americans just lost access to much needed SNAP benefits otherwise known as food stamps, and so how could the U.S. provide millions in aid to Cuba when the citizens of the U.S. are lining up at food banks because they are hungry, including children?

    We are not even taking care of our own citizens, but yet we want to start some more shit with another sovereign nation while at war with Iran, which is also an ILLEGAL war? Nothing makes any sense, and what’s more, nothing ever will. And the only thing the Americans will do about anything is just have a once-a-month half-assed protest complete with bouncy houses for the kiddies, costumes and sing-a-longs. And don’t even get me started on the price of gas. So, business as usual in the U.S. SIGH!!
