I forgot about Grenada. Most people only know about that movie because of Heartbreak Ridge. I’m pretty sure my local Sheriffs Office could have taken that island. We did that because a thousand American students were at risk.
That was the bullshit cover story meant to make the whole thing more palatable to the American public.
The real reason we did it was because a Communist regime, aided by the Cubans, took over a country geographically close to the U.S.
Additionally, they were building a 9,000 ft runway at Point Salinas that could accommodate heavy Soviet aircraft.
As per the authorized biography of Margaret Thatcher:
"According to Lawrence Eagleburger, the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs at the State Department, 'The prime motivation was to get rid of that son of a bitch [General Austin] before the Cubans got any further embedded … The students were the pretext … but we would not have done it simply because of the students."
We could have probably negotiated the safe return of the students. We couldn't negotiate the Commies dead.
Cuba poses no risk to the United States. It’s the geographical equivalent of Brock Lesnar living down the street from Cyrax. The rage boner against it a Cold War grudge.
Brother, it's not about how much of a threat they are. It's about keeping Commies out of power in the western hemisphere. Thus ensuring they never have the opportunity to morph into a threat. This has been U.S. policy for a long time.

Are you dumb? They nearly set off WW III by setting up USSR missile bases. With NUKES. They are entirely capable of doing some super dumb shit. They are literally less than an hour flight of being able to bomb our territory. If you think we can ignore that, you are fucking retarded.

There's also ChiCom radar installations on the island, that's why the doppler weather radar looks weird every once in awhile. Only BRICSimps are okay with the chinks being 90 miles from Florida.

Last time I checked the USSR is gone gramps. Missile technology has radically changed since the 1960’s. China and Russia can deploy ICBM’s from the other side of the world or with their submarine fleets.
The Cuban Missile crisis was a direct response to the US placing Jupiter missiles in Turkey anyways.

You give them the Venezuela treatment, of making them a Vasal state
Had forgot about this thread, will see the usual posters vanish. When the Castro regime gets the Maduro Treatment, and the cubas do not develop instant tramisions to TP to California .
i think it was just last year russian battleships were taking up port in havana or some shit
still crazy that we just let them do that shit in our backyard. shame that bay of pigs was a mismanaged clusterfuck from the beginning we should've nailed this shit down last century
The whole reason Cuban is as fucked as it is now is because they lost their sugar daddies you retarded nigger.
The Russians are a bit busy regaining their own former colony and will spend decades rebuilding their military. China was allowed to embed itself into the global economy thanks to ZOG that they have five dozen different ways to fuck with the United States that better than rebuilding Cuba.

That's a lot of words to say, "I don't know shit about the military".
There are dozens of military bases around the Gulf of AMERICA and having the ChiComs setting up SIGNIT assets on Cuba within a couple hundred miles of them isn't a great idea. "But what about AmeriKKKan bases near China!!!??1!!111!!!?" We're a superpower and the Chinese can't build a modern turbofan engine, shut the fuck up.

that was a nice thing about the discombobulation of venezuela. we learned that the chinese air defenses they apparently have are also not worth jack or shit. so if CUBA is using these same types of defenses, and now with a much less reliable power grid running them (i suppose they'd probably have on-site power for these things with emergency fuel? better hope corruption didn't get that fuel) it doesn't look good for them if they DO end up needing to protect el presidente from a discombobulation.

It's not about max range. It's about flight time. An IRBM launched from Cuba could cause massive damage to the CONUS with very little warning. That's why the Cuban Missile Crisis was such a big deal.
Japanese airplane engines, electrical engineering, radar especially, etc., were behind US technology in 1941 and they still gave us a damn good fight for three years
China’s everywhere my dude. If they were propping it up like the Soviets did with Cuba or how they still do with the Norks the Cubans would be able to keep their lights on.
