BREAKING: Iran, Cuba and Venezuela to hold military exercises off the coast of Florida.

[Billy Burnett]

Monday, 29 - 10. BBN: Iran, Cuba and Venezuela announced plans to hold military exercises off the coast of Florida, using Cuba as base ports. Live munitions firings will be part of the exercises. Guided missile launches and ballistics firings will be seen during night time exercises as far north as Orlando. A naval restricted zone will be created 20 miles north of Cuba and any interference will be considered an act of hostility.

Southcom offered no comment.

:sarcasm:

Just checking. ;)

1. You know, if you post a headline like that, low info people

read no farther than the headline. This will probably make it to Faux News.

4. Rushed Limpball will probably rally his minions with it.

Everybody knows Cuba wants to occupy the USA.

2. Expect to see tons of RW emails and postings ....

(they really don't get parody, sarcasm, or irony)

3. Nicely pointed!

I don't think a certain portion of the psychopolitical spectrum on DU are gonna get the point, though.

It's like those who pointed out that if another country invaded the USA the way you guys stomped into Iraq a lot of Middle Americans would have become terrorists and insurgents too. The point gets buried under a landslide of parochial self-interest.

5. This is a joke? You should have made it clear sooner. nt

[Billy Burnett]

6. I agree. I should have indicated so in the OP. Wait ...

:eyes:

[HEyHEY]

7. Yes, all situations all over the world are exactly they same and comparable to each other...

[Billy Burnett]

9. Just where do I indicated such a thing?

I didn't/don't.

Although Iran Cuba and Ven are allies and trade partners, like the US and S Korea are.


Cheers

[HEyHEY]

10. No, I'm agreeing with you. All situations are the same. There are no mitigating circumstances.

8. Florida just gave us future President Marco Rubio, so I don't care.

I wish I was joking about that.

[Billy Burnett]

23. I wish you were joking too.

I do care. I live in Fl.

11. If the military exercises are held in Cuban waters, does Cuba get shelled in response?

We would be "provoked", you know. ;)

[social_critic]

25. No, but they may airdrop leaflets over havana

Offering a free meal at "foreigners only" hotels. That's enough of a low blow.

12. WOLVERINES!!!!!!

13. Meanwhile: Missiles in Turkey are an entirely different matter than missiles in Cuba

Because we threaten to destroy entire populaces with a smile unlike them surly commie bastards.

14. I'll keep an eye open

for a rowboat with some dude carrying a shotgun.

[Mudoria]

15. Keep an eye out for a fat guy in a red shirt

looking for a camera to rant to.

[Billy Burnett]

17. I know who you mean.

'Tis the season.

19. If this were true it would put a damper on the Empire's bullying and

"pre-emptive strikes."

[Billy Burnett]

21. Or maybe it would assure a pre-emtive strike. eom
