“Here we are prepared to fight imperialism,” said Cuban lawmaker Mariela Castro, daughter of Raúl Castro. “Cuba is a small and poor country, but one with experience confronting US imperialism.”

Tens of thousands of Cubans rallied Friday in Havana to denounce the Trump administration’s indictment of former President Raúl Castro and threats to attack the island nation, whose socialist government has been preparing its citizens to defend their homeland and revolution against US aggression.

“No disrespect is shown to the heroes of the homeland!” Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said as people flooded the streets outside the US Embassy in Havana. “History and traditions are not insulted without a response! That does not happen in Cuba!”

5. Do we keep forgetting we have a f'ing US Navy Base with thousands

US Sailor, Marines, and Civilians there? A 45 sq. mile (according to Wikipedia) military facility, including an airbase, family and civilian housing - with a K-12 school and MWR/Exchange and Commissary facilities - a large Navy hospital, a Communications station, and still existing port maintenance and repair facility?

Not to mention the infamous prison with "terrorists", CIA/NSA, and other groups sitting there?
So, what's going to happen to those thousands of US citizens and billions of dollars of invested military infrastructure when Graham/Rubio's little "Invasion" starts?

Because - "The Truth? MAGA can't handle the Truth."
