How many distractions does this regime need from the Epstein files?
now that you mention it, probably at least one more.
No no. Iran was a distraction from the Epstein files. Cuba is a distraction from Iran. Greenland will be a distraction from Cuba, and Canada will be a distraction from Greenland.
Probably.
The capitalist and political class of the entire western world and it’s allied countries were exposed as covering up for and being pedophiles.
This isn’t a distraction. People like you and me in the working class gave them permission to stop the charade when we didn’t chop off their heads. It’s not a distraction. It’s a continuation of it.
They are telling you bluntly that there will be no justice without us taking it by force. They are killing innocent children NOW in Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Cuba. They are separating children from their parents and putting them in concentration camps on our own soil. Do you think that’s a distraction?
The only distraction that is working is the same comment (like yours) being posted over and over that seems to weigh the importance of past crimes more heavily than the ones they are enacting now and boasting about on the news. Start caring more about the “distractions” and one day we might get vengeance for all of the children this class of pedophiles makes suffer.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Anyone who believes this bullshit is a braindead moron. What are they going to do? Spread knowledge of how to develop a decent healthcare system that doesn’t financially burden patients?
That sounds like a real threat to the interest of the American Oligarchs. So, yeah, they are technically right.
Everything is a national security threat.

assholeNational Security ThreatEvery agressor favourite excuse. Israel, the usa and russia
If anything, the US could learn some things from Cuba. They could certainly stop bullying them for the first time in decades
A threat?
Self hate right here. His parents were cuban immigrants. 🙄
~If not self hate, then a serious lack of self intestinal fortitude. Either way…~
Most of the hardline anti-Castro people in the US are, I think, Cuban-American. That’s typically the reason that they’re in the US.
I don’t know if that’s a factor for Rubio in particular, but “person with Cuban background living in the US who is very unhappy with the Castro regime” is not an oddity.
People who got ousted from wealth when the revolution happened harbouring generational grudges against the regime
No one hates Cubans quite like the Cuban-Americans.
His parents left Cuba because they didn’t like Castro. Most Cubans that came to the US were anti-communist. I guess I can understand that, but now Rubio is using the US military and our tax money to intervene in Cuba for what are mostly reasons that are personal to him and his family history.
Nation state DARVOing
I’m like 99.9% sure Donald J Trump is a national security liability and threat?
What’s the .1 hanging on to?
That he doesn’t really have the brains
Eh pretty sure that makes him even more a total liability and threat
That he drops dead.
If Cuba is a threat, then any country, group, or individual can be deemed a threat to their national security. Sounds like a whole lot of INSECURITY.
If Cuba is a threat, Hegseth really must’ve done an inconceivably bad job.
Same stupid fucking playbook every time…
I am peace
I love the semantic shenanigans that “risk” and “threat” sorts use – Risk is totally just snake oil.
“They’re a threat!”, sure… a low risk, insignificant threat. But still technically a threat. You can claim anything is a threat, given that risk assessments are totally subjective silly things. “We’ve identified flying pigs as a threat in our risk registry, so we gotta invest billions into an anti-flying pig slush fund! Security!!”
The states has been openly boasting about the numerous international war crimes its been committing for the past two years. No other country has challenged them directly on it, and few have even voiced their disagreement, out of fear of economic repercussions. No one is a threat to the US, except the US and its idiotic people / administration. Its partly why their self-destruction in international politics is so tragic.
Yes, but Realistically no, Cuba never did anything that harmed USA in any meaningful way.
USA however has massively harmed Cuba for 70 years now.
Threat verbiage allows for non-threats to still be called threats, that’s the point of what I was highlighting. Flying pigs are not a threat, they don’t exist – dragons are not a threat, they don’t exist either. You can still throw them on a Risk Registry/Threat listing, and call them a threat, because there’s no definitive, objective, quantifiable process for determining what a threat is.
So yes, you can say Cuba is a threat. Even though for all practical purposes it isn’t a “real” threat or a credible threat, you can still put it on a list and declare it ‘technically’ a threat to US national security. Just like you could put flying pigs on that list, or dragons, even though neither of those things exist, nor would any sane person think theres a real risk of america falling due to flying pig attacks – if they’re on a threat list, they’re a threat.
I didn’t contradict you, technically yes, realistically no.
Which is also what you write in your response.
I edited my post to make that part more clear.
Yes I bet Cuba is about as much a threat as Greenland is, and Greenland is a NATO ally!
Fuck the Satanist Americans (under the guise of Christianity) for causing human suffering around the globe.
They even do it at home too, and apparently Americans think that’s how things should be. 🤡 🤮
If you don’t have evidence or reason, just claim “National Security”.
This is new news? Cuba has been Cuba for how many decades?
the US is a bunch of absolute pussies, apparently
If I was a big country with a mighty military and more money than God, I’d be scared too. /s
Gee, I wonder how it got that way…
