Miami Mayor Says the US Should Consider Bombing Cuba

Mayor Francis Suarez said military options need to be 'discussed'
By Dave DeCamp


In the wake of anti-government demonstrations in Cuba, many US officials are calling for Washington to intervene. The mayor of Miami has gone as far to suggest that the US should consider bombing Cuba.

In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Mayor Francis Suarezargued in favor of US military intervention and listed examples of previous US wars that involved airstrikes. When asked if he is suggesting that the US bomb Cuba, Suarez said,

“What I’m suggesting is that option is one that has to be explored and cannot be just simply discarded as an option that is not on the table.”

“And there’s a variety of ways the military can do it. But that’s something that needs to be discussed and needs to be looked as a potential option in addition to a variety of other options that can be discussed,” he added.

In a separate interview with Fox Business News on Tuesday, Suarez again argued for US military invention.

“The US has intervened in Latin America in numerous occasions and has been very successful,” he said. Echoing the Cold War, Suarez said Cuba is a threat to the US because it is “exporting communism throughout the hemisphere.”

Luckily, it doesn’t appear that the Biden administration has any plans to invade or bomb Cuba. The State Department said Tuesday that it is looking at ways to “support” the Cuban people but is downplaying the impact of the decades-old US embargo on Cuba.

Acknowledging the wrong that the U.S. has done towards that country isn't siding with the regime. The U. S. has basically punished an entire country solely because its leadership sided with the Russians decades ago.

It also doesn't help Cuba's case that you know, they murder people who speak out against the government. There's no such thing as freedom of speech over there

You can say the same thing about Saudi Arabia, and we're buddy buddy with them. The fact is that the U.S. government hasn't traditionally cared about whether governments are good or bad. Our government is only interested in what those governments will do for them, and their problem with Cuba has been that it's government wouldn't bow to them.

I ain't saying their regime is right, but the U.S. has never moved like it actually cared about the Cuban people.
