EDIT: Correction, I was banned from Lemmy Zip, the confusion stems from my inability to see Lemmy Zip communities in the search anymore leading me to think it was Lemmy ML which has a community of the same name.
Well the USA has issued a warrant for Raul Castro so unless they want that flavor of violence they should be trying to deescalate.
How did de-escalation work for Iran and Venezuela, again? How did it work for Palestine? Lebanon?
Why will it work for Cuba when it's failed in literally every other foreign policy crisis of this administration so far?
I strongly believe that a voluntary deescelation of Cuba, with some public flattery and a couple small gifts, would resolve the situation with zero casualties. I think Trump is just that much of a fucking moron.
I think Trump is enough of a fucking moron to think that a mission accomplished banner in Havana would be a welcome addition to the war accolades he so desperately desires and delusionally imagines he has.
Right and wrong are one thing, but at some point you have to minimize harm. There is no need for war and mass death in Cuba, so we should be doing everything in our power to avoid it.
Sure. And point number one on minimizing harm would be preventing a US invasion. And you do that by making sure the US knows an invasion will be costly.
Tell me, if someone had offered this exact advice about demilitarizing to Ukraine regarding Russia in 2021, what would you think of that person?
Don't let the fact that Cuba is a shitty regime blind you to the fact that appeasement to dictators is a fucking sucker's game.
