A Hot -- Not A Cold War!!

The photo above figures to become historic. It was taken Tuesday -- Jan. 22nd-2019 -- outside the White House after four extremists anti-Cuban Counter Revolutionaries from Florida had ordered embattled President Trump to make the FINAL STEP toward a militarily-enforced regime-change in Cuba. As outlined to Trump, that also entails regime-changes in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. This war-mongering quartet from Florida consists of the usual suspects, left-to-right: Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart from Little Havana in Miami, Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Marco Rubio from Little Havana in Miami, and Senator Rick Scott, who was the Florida Governor that preceded DeSantis. This quartet Tuesday instructed Trump to initiate the impending fireworks in Latin America by recognizing their anti-Cuban man Juan Guaido as the President of oil-rich but financially bankrupt Venezuela. With Trump himself trying desperately to avoid impeachment in the USA, he has no choice but to accept the dictates from Florida's anti-Cuban zealots.
And so, right on cue, Juan Guaido yesterday was recognized by President Trump as the new President of Venezuela. Because the USA is the world's economic and military Superpower, many nations will follow Trump's lead...led by Brazil's new right-wing President Zair Bolsonaro. Please remember that for three weeks in this forum I have been reminding you that America's top Cuban expert regarding topical events, Tracey Eaton, recently stated that he would "not be surprised" if the U. S. launched an attack on Cuba "from Brazil" that would be far more potent than the April-1961 Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba that was launched from Nicaragua with the cooperation of the then U.S.-friendly dictator Somoza.
Fully understanding that war is now upon him, Venezuelan President Nicolas Madura has ordered all U. S. diplomats to leave his nation within 72 hours. The Trump war in Latin America to appease the anti-Cuban zealots in Florida and in Congress will in all likelihood easily accomplish two things: {1} Execute regime-changes in Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Bolivia; and {2} destabilize Latin America and the Caribbean for decades to come with continuous guerrilla-style warfare. While a military victory by the U.S.-Brazilian forces will be easy, if bloody, it will spawn continuous guerrilla-style revolutions that will plague America and Latin America for decades.
Wild celebrations -- especially in Caracas, Miami, and Washington -- will mark these events, which may well document January 23rd-2019 as the start of what likely will be a tumultuous and endless conflagration that will engulf America, Latin America, and the Caribbean for many years to come. Like the two-decades-old, trillion-dollar war in Afghanistan that is ongoing, this one will be ongoing too and, perhaps, even more expensive in American dollars and lives. But unlike the wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, etc., this one will be waged in America's backyard -- the Caribbean and Latin America.
In other words, this quartet of war-mongers from Florida are taking full advantage of not just another Republican U. S. President but they now have the Perfect Storm in their favor. That's because the embattled Donald Trump must take their dictations to FINALLY overthrow the Cuban Revolution, which on Jan. 1-2019 entered its 7th decade with a non-Castro PRESIDENT and a new CONSTITUTION that will take effect on February 24th. But the four anti-Cuban war-mongers from Florida, shown above, lucked out: They have a U. S. Commander-in-Chief, Donald Trump, that will do their bidding.
Born after the Jan. 1-1959 triumph of the Cuban Revolution over the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Balart, as indicated by his dour expression above, now knows that war is coming. His popularity among everyday Cubans resulted from his stint as Education Minister. But he believes in the Revolution and he has vowed to fight to preserve it. And President Diaz-Balart now knows that, regardless of the odds against him, he has no other choice.
Venezuelan President Nicholas Madura is shown above in Caracas on Jan. 23-2019 defiantly reacting to President Trump's recognition of an anti-Cuban zealot as Venezuela's President. Madura will lose the upcoming war -- as will the leaders of Cuba, Nicaragua, and Bolivia -- but the ashes of that war will vacillate from being warm to hot for decades to come. In other words, this U.S.-Cuban conflict will not involve a Cold War. Fidel Castro's little long-shot Cuban Revolution way back in the 1950s taught Latin America...and the world, for that matter...about local revolutions featuring guerrilla warfare.
