Today, will Trump go after Cuba next?
For weeks now, ever since the US launched its attack on Iran,
an island 7,000 miles away has been stalked by one question.
Are we next?
Because as far back as January, Cuba has been under siege.
The US has forced its allies, like Venezuela and Mexico, to cut the country off, to starve it of oil.
Schools and offices have been shut down.
Fuel is severely rationed.
And there have been several terrifying national blackouts with very little to sustain a country of 11 million people
trying to survive the harshest sanctions in its history.
Mothers and their babies are dying there.
This is war.
There are no bombers falling in Havana, but the United States is waging war against Cuba as well.
And there are victims to it.
And there are hints from Washington that much worse is to come.
And it may be.
A friendly takeover?
It may not be a friendly takeover.
It wouldn't matter because they're really down to, as they say, fumes.
