On the one hand, we're seeing the consent manufactury kick into overdrive and a lot of state department goblins seem to be absolutely itching for a fresh round of meddling. Cuba as a client state would open the door to all manner of renewed imperial nightmares in the carribean and South America.

On the other hand, it feels like most people's reception of the situation outside of dedicated chuds and Floridians (but I repeat myself) is muted, and I've already seen a few small anti-intervention protests pop up. After two decades of war, with a domestic civil society whose coherency is hanging by a thread and a global presence that is increasingly challenged, I feel like a flubbed regime change effort there would be the true beginning of the end for the U.S.' empire.

If this is a dumb-dumb take, please don't hesitate to tell me so.

It just seems like the media / Biden are attacking a different country every few weeks. Before they were obsessed with China. Before that, it was Putin’s soulless eyes. Before Putin, it was ISIS (I know, not a country.) Who the fuck is it going to be next week? Grenada? The way things are accelerating, within a few years it’s going to be a different enemy country every five minutes.

Grenada

Man, I've been playing way too much EU4 lately, as I got real confused as to why Biden would be demanding intervention into a part of Spain.

Unironically we should make Spain al-Andalus again.

The Granada War ended 529 years, I think it's time to let that dream end.
