Other pieces of the chess board nobody is paying attention to:

Cuba's president confirmed the talks in a national broadcast as the country also said it would release 51 prisoners in "goodwill" gesture.

Oil, the crisis crushing Cuba and giving Trump new leverage

Fuel shortages are paralyzing the economy, while the United States is incentivizing the island’s private sector

Strait of Hormuz remains closed. America gets rid of another long-standing thorn in their side.

America is also one of the highest ranking energy independent Countries in the World. Given the fact they have most of the rest of the top 10 in their back pocket, including us, they are playing this game with an incredibly strong hand:

I understand people have an extreme dislike for DJT but wishing for his failure in this probably means the death of many American service people, and an extreme negative effect on the global SCs and economy, which will negatively effect us too.

Be careful what you wish for.

Agreed but it’s a double edged sword here. Success will only embolden him and the sycophants around him.
Will Cuba be next? What about Greenland and/or Canada?
Success in Iran will renforce delusions of grandeur.

Why would we be upset about DJT removing a brutal communist dictatorship in Cuba? Canadians gonna miss cheap rum and shitty resorts?

That’s an assumption on your part.
The actuary tables don’t necessarily point to 3 more years.

I didn’t say it would be necessarily a bad thing, I said it will reinforce delusions of grandeur and possible further invasions.

Cuba is next. And when they inevitably cause a refugee crisis into Florida and probably end up killing refugees on boats, he'll be yelling at Mexico to help. Or even possibly asking us.

Maybe Cuba opens up their jails again and points the way to free floatation devices on the beach.

If Trump manages to take 3 x thorns in it's side off the chess board inside 18 months... well that is quite the accomplishment.

And suffer the fate of the drug boats? I think one thing is obvious by now, Trump will use force if there is a threat to the US.

Good, get rid of all the Mullahs, Tin Pot Dictators and other assorted forces of destabilization. I'm 100% for it and it should have happened a long time ago.

The next thing that needs to happen is getting the Slavic brothers to stop killing each other and bring them both back into the Western fold completely.

Perfect, they can be given guns and turned back on Cuba, in exchange for citizenship, VA money and free education for their troubles. Bay of Pigs 2.0.
