Cuban Missile Crisis II -- Cuban Has Drones Capable of Striking the United States<br>Russia, Iran, and Cuba are all involved

The Ukraine - Russia War has completely changed the battlefield first with anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) that rendered Russia’s perceived armor advantage null and void, and then drones that have completely changed how war is fought at the line of contact, in the logistics zone, and at long distance.<br>Ukraine is using its deep strike capabilities driven by homegrown drones and cruise missiles to attack the Russian economy and its most important export — oil.<br>Thanks for reading!

The Ukrainians may put Russia out of the crude oil refining business before too long.<br>Come on, Big Red Car, Cuba has drones?
Yes, dear reader, Cuba has as many as 300 drones — thanks to Russia and Iran — that are capable of striking the United States under this fan. Please notice we have lots of oil refineries under that fan. Ooops.
As you can see, Cuba could strike my computer in Savannah, Washington, DC, and the Pappadeux’s in Beaumont, Texas.<br>What kind of drones do they have, Big Red Car?
The drone that gives me the greatest amount of concern is the Iranian Shahed - 136. Below, it is compared to a US Tomahawk Block V which is our current gold standard.<br>As you can clearly see, a Shahed - 136 is no match performance wise for a Tomahawk, but it is a steady, tried, true weapon that could do some real damage.
Please note, in particular, the comparative cost difference.<br>So, where is this going, Big Red Car?
Here is what I see:<br>The US CIA has known about the Cuban drones since 2023 and has essentially kept it to themselves. That’s six bloody years, mates.
Did you know Cuba had drones that could mess up your crawfish etouffee at Papadeaux’s in Beaumont? I didn’t.
Cuba is not our friend and who knows WTF the Iranians and Russians might get them to do for a tanker full of oil?
Last week the entire Cuban electric grid failed, so they are getting progressively more desperate and the government might decide to strike the United States to unify the people who might otherwise rise against the government.
We have been meeting at a high level with Cuba — the US Director of Natioal Intelligence met with them in Havana.
Why is this different than the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1963? I get it these are not nuclear weapons, but why does Cuba have them and who would they use them against?<br>Let’s common sense this stupid situation in real time, shall we?

Maybe getting your computer wouldn't be the worst thing - just kidding Big Red. I saw that Cuba had missles just yesterday from W.R. Mead while he was talking to Kudlow. I guess we shoulda seen that coming from a long way off. I mean it only makes sense if you are a bunch of raving. religious, anti-women lunatics spewing hate and killing U.S. soldiers for the last 50 years. And Cuba, They're broke enough and greedy enough to take shaheds with alacrity.<br>First we gotta settle the IRGC's hash completely. I mean knock the dog slobber off them once and for all. Then settle with Cuba. Maybe get a couple of Israelis in there to locate where they are then send them to hell and back. I mean it's time to quit fartin' around with them too.

BRC better take Jeffrey to Lady & Sons downtown it’s a shorter drive then to Beaumont for some real good eats. But because I did not have reservations last time, when I was last there, the line starched around the block. Also if he has a hankering for some great gumbo motor on down to New Orleans to Succotash Nola on Canal Street, if they are busy there are a number of alternative including Emeril’s Place over on the West Bank, the location in the Casino is a pail imitation of the original Emeril’s. Just like mid 1960’s Chevrolets there are no bad restaurants in New Orleans. Now pardon me but I am rereading 13 Days in October to get a preview of how this movie ends.
