It’s being reported by Axios that, according to leaked classified intelligence, Cuba has begun discussing the used of their drone arsenal to attack the US base on the island, as well as US ships and possibly Key West.
Here’s more:
Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and recently began discussing plans to use them to attack the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, U.S. military vessels and possibly Key West, Fla., 90 miles north of Havana, according to classified intelligence shared with Axios.
The intelligence — which could become a pretext for U.S. military action — shows the degree to which the Trump administration sees Cuba as a threat because of developments in drone warfare and the presence of Iranian military advisers in Havana, a senior U.S. official said.
“When we think about those types of technologies being that close, and a range of bad actors from terror groups to drug cartels to Iranians to the Russians, it’s concerning,” the official said. “It’s a growing threat.”
CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Cuba on Thursday and bluntly warned officials there against engaging in hostilities. He also urged them to scrap their totalitarian government to end crippling U.S. sanctions, a CIA official told Axios.
“Director Ratcliffe made clear that Cuba can no longer serve as a platform for adversaries to advance hostile agendas in our hemisphere,” that official said.
“The Western Hemisphere cannot be our adversaries’ playground.”
I seriously doubt Cuba would resort to such measures as attacking the US, because they would be crushed by President Trump. This is probably just one of those intel documents considering all scenarios, like we’ve seen before.
