WASHINGTON — Military planning for a possible Pentagon-led operation in Cuba is quietly ramping up, in case President Donald Trump gives an order to intervene there, USA TODAY has learned.
Two sources familiar with the order spoke to USA TODAY on condition of anonymity because they’re not authorized to speak to media.
The directives appear to be an escalation of recent tensions between the U.S. and Cuba that began in January when the Trump administration curbed oil shipments to Cuba as part of a broader campaign to force sweeping political changes on the communist-run island.



At what point do we, as the American public, just say no more? I mean, we have the GAWDAMN right to guns, right? Aren’t y’all armed up the wazoo? Why aren’t we all out in the streets? Are we all hypnotized?
I will answer the last question with aplomb and thought. Yes, the American public has been desensitized, de-educated and disenfranchised enough that we will, indeed, take any and all dildos up the ass with a smile on our faces.
As the 2002 me would say, I was Hip Notized, by Shakira.
If you are affronted by someone replying to themself, then fuck off.
50 years ago, but it’s one of those "best time to plant a tree"situations
That’s an interesting thought. I did, in fact, plant a redwood tree at an appropriate distance from my grandmother’s house, 44 years ago. However both of us miscalculated and it ended up destroying the driveway and almost her house!
You are all too busy making up excuses to sit down and do notjing other than typing bs on the internet. A general strike does not require any weapons, but I have yet to see one in your country. It almost feel like you are all addicted tu suffering and allergic to human and worker rights. Honestly, I used to have a positive view of the US but over the last year I have only seen cowardice and corruption, at this point I just wish that your country collapses soon so It can stop destroying the world, at least for a while. And no, I have no sympathy for people who do nothing while their country is being dismantled before their very eyes, and instead of fighting for it you all just type excuses online Pathetic. Truly pathetic.
Americans benefit for imperialism, its the reason even poorest americans has obesity problems and 9 million people starve to death every year. America benefits by these wars and invasions and so do its citizens so they dont care about millions of people dying as long as they are able to get better lifestyle than most of the world. Americans wont care until they are bombed even 10% of lebanon iran gaza and countless other nations america bombed. Americans need to see destruction of war and loose their families then maybe they will understand but this will never happen so americans wont take any action either.
When republicans get off their ass and hold their politicians to account
So never.
