USA's Troika of Tyranny?

 Or Triangle of Troglodytes??
{Sunday, May 12th, 2019}
     This week -- May 10, 2019 -- the Miami-based Progreso Weekly used the photo above to point out that the USA may have a "Triangle of Troglodytes" -- President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and National Security Adviser John Bolton. The Progreso Weekly called these three America's "war cabinet." The article hinted that the trio may be leading America into another war -- Iran?...Venezuela?...Cuba? It was a reference to Bolton's declaration in Miami that Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua constitute the "The Troika of Tyranny," apparently to justify Bolton's long-held desires for a regime-change in Cuba preceded by a regime-change in Venezuela and then followed by a regime-change in Nicaragua. The expected regime-change in Venezuela dating back to January has stalled, obviously delaying the Troglodytes' desired regime-changes in Cuba and Nicaragua. Meanwhile, the Progreso Weekly suggests that the Troglodytes at the moment seem more intent on a regime-change in Iran, which is a dire proposition that figures to delay the dire propositions closer to home at least for a time.
Trump vs. Iran.
   Tangling with Iran would surely create a conflagration involving supposed USA allies such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey. And Israel, the region's unmatched nuclear Superpower, would obviously love to join the USA in a war against Iran.
    Of course, no matter how much President Trump claims he "loves" North Korea's unpredictable dictator Kim, the fact remains that the USA is afraid of North Korea's nuclear threat.
      And all that doesn't even get us to the USA's two primary threats and competitors -- nuclear Superpowers Russia and China.
     A war in the USA's backyard with Cuba as the prize and Venezuela as the excuse/pretext became a distinct possibility when Trump turned over his Cuban/Latin American policies to Rubio, Bolton, Pompeo, Abrams, Claver-Carone, Reich, etc., with not a single moderate directing the USA's Cuba/Latin American/Western Hemisphere affairs.
     Even AFTER the United States won a war in its backyard, the United States would likely end up as the BIGGEST LOSER.
    And make no mistake, as indicated by this Trump Tweet, Cuba would be the prime target in any backyard USA war, with the Venezuelan crisis being the prime excuse for the Little Havana return to Havana.
     For sure, John Bolton believes these Cuban soldiers would provide little resistance to a military attack from the USA. While that might be true, Cuba's revolutionary spirit would still not likely capitulate.
     For two decades, John Bolton's reputation for wanting to attack just about everyone and everything not named Russia or China has been well-known. Not even the Batistiano-directed George W. Bush administration accepted Bolton's famous pretext to attack Cuba beginning in 2002. During this first full week of May-2019 President Trump was quoted as saying that Bolton wants to "get me into a war." Yet, John Bolton remains National Security Adviser...Rubio remains in charge of Cuban affairs, anti-Cuban extremist Claver-Carone remains in charge of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Pompeo remains as Secretary of State, and Abrams remains as the USA's Special Envoy to Venezuela. In other words, it seems there is no one in Washington at the moment WILLING OR ABLE to rein in John Bolton. God Bless America!!!
AND BY THE WAY:
    The photo above, taken by Bill Hackman, shows the family of Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo in Havana. Gerardo was the last of the "Cuba 5"/"Cuba Heroes" to be released from U. S. prisons in 2015 when U. S. President Barack Obama was trying so hard to normalize relations with Cuba. Gerardo had spent 16 years in a California federal prison and both he and his Havana wife thought he was there was life. His wife back in Cuba wanted his child and Obama allowed his sperm to be sent to the island to impregnate her. The baby was the little girl in the lower-right above. Since her birth, as you can see, Gerardo and his wife have had another little girl as well as a little boy between the births of the girls.
