Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) on Wednesday raised the alarm over Iranian drones believed to be in Cuba. Iran has been a consistent threat to the united security interests of our country, certainly of Israel, Bush said during a United Against Nuclear Iran event, serving as the groups chair.
And now, we see that its not just Israel and the United States, but the Gulf region as well. I also want to point out that the press reports that there are 300 of these [drones] in Cuba. He said the U.S. has capabilities to protect the country before adding that drones organize in clusters and can get through the defense capabilities, as weve seen in the Middle East as well.
I think its important to recognize that Iran has consistently been working with Cuba, Venezuela prior to the departure of Maduro from the regime, creating instability in not just in Cuba, but certainly in the region, Bush said, referring to deposed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He praised the current administrations efforts against Irans military capabilities, saying were on the verge of creating a much more peaceable world by standing up against this aggression.
Bush had for years drawn a hard line on Cuba. Before his 2016 Republican bid for the presidency, he shared then-Sen. Marco Rubios (R-Fla.) sentiment that the U.S. should not negotiate with Cuba and ease relations. Bush has been held in high regard by Floridas Cuban exile population.

They are continually having multiple island-wide power failures and food shortages... and these guys are trying to recreate a world there from over 60 years ago in order to manufacture a Bay of Pigs.
He also stole an election.
They had to dig deep to unearth another zombie chickenhawk.

(20,130 posts)This is starting to sound like W's scaremongering in his run-up to the Iraq War. Soon we'll be told Cuban-Iranian drones will be dropping WMD all over Miami.

Send a few tankers with fuel oil so they can run their power grid.
End the idiotic trade embargo that's gone on for far too long.
In other words the GQP should start acting like the Christians that they claim to be and help our neighbors to the south.
I've visited Cuba once and would love to go again while I'm still able. I'm afraid that tRump may have ensured that that's never going to happen.

If so, I could understand why Cuba would keep drones, just in case.
