If you don't have nukes, USA will bully you just for fun, even when your country has nothing to be looted.

Just to say the rest: I'm the strongest, fear me. And turn each country into submissive filth shithole like current Milei Argentina or Bukele el Salvador.

USA with his aggressive erratic behavior is making nuclear weapons proliferation a good wished thing, just to survive to their arrogance.

This is what happens when you are weak and you face a bully, to be killed just for fun.

Take note submissive latin america regimes.

Bringing him to justice would be a good way to be a lesson for others that might be thinking of following his footsteps.

There is no freedom. America is the dictator of the globe and puts on a show of freedom but if the people of the world want to keep their own oil like in Iran or Libya or Iraq than America will attack.

Drive him to America in 57 Chevy ( fond memories of my father's Chevy )

Cuba is a good distraction. Hormuz must be forgotten.

And what has that rant to do with the topic of this thread, which is Cuba?

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

While I allow a little more leeway than I probably should, yes, let's try to stay a little closer to the topic.

US military leader held rare meeting with senior Cuban military officials near US base at Guantanamo Bay​

The commander of US Southern Command met with senior Cuban military officials on Friday in a rare meeting on the perimeter of Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, a US military installation located in Cuba’s southeast.

SOUTHCOM said that Commander Gen. Francis Donovan met with Cuban Army Corps Gen. Roberto Legrá Sotolongo – Cuba’s first deputy minister of the chief of the general staff – and other senior leaders from the Cuban military “for a brief exchange on operational security matters.”

The Cuban Ministry of Defense said in a statement: “Both delegations considered the meeting to be positive, where issues related to security around the dividing perimeter of the military enclave were addressed and they agreed to maintain communication between both military commands.”

The meeting comes amid a US military buildup near Cuba, with the USS Nimitz carrier strike group arriving in the Caribbean last week. Donovan also met with the Cuban military officials just days after Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel warned that a US military assault on the island “will cause a bloodbath with incalculable consequences.”

It’s at least the second high-level meeting between senior US and Cuban officials in recent weeks. CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Havana in early May for a rare meeting with officials from Cuba’s Ministry of the Interior and heads of the island’s intelligence services.

Previously “fence line” meetings took place each month between US and Cuban military officials at the Guantanamo Naval Base but up until now they had been suspended since President Donald Trump took office in his second term.

SOUTHCOM said Donavan “led a perimeter security assessment” of Naval Station Guantanamo Bay “and discussed force protection, safety of service members and their families, and operational readiness with base officials.”

The US has accused Cuban officials of hosting Russian and Chinese listening posts on the island and thwarting US interests in the region, CNN reported, and has been applying increasing legal and economic pressure on the Cuban government in recent weeks. That’s in addition to a punishing oil blockade imposed by the US in January, which has plunged the island into economic crisis and led to power cuts, food and fuel shortages.

The Justice Department indicted former Cuban President Raúl Castro earlier this month and the administration announced new sanctions on the Cuban government, including its main intelligence agency and interior ministry. Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously said that “additional sanctions actions can be expected in the following days and weeks.”
