My Answer is: Yes!!
Ken Silverstein, arguably the best {and bravest} journalist in Washington, says, "Marco Rubio is heads and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery." That, of course, takes in a lot territory considering the startling number of crooked journalists, lobbyists, and politicians there indeed are in Washington. During the 2016 Republican presidential primary, fellow Republican Donald Trump brushed Rubio off with the derisive label "Little Marco"...and Trump then embellished his disdain for Rubio by, among other things, naming the right-wing billionaires who long-ago bought-and-paid-for Rubio.
Yet, as President of the United States Trump felt obliged to name Rubio as the USA's Cuban dictator on U. S. soil.
Obviously, President Trump believes that Little Marco Rubio from Little Havana can make sure that Trump gets Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes that will be needed in November's next presidential election.
Iran, a prime enemy of the U. S., is at the moment sending five oil-ladened ships to struggling and embattled Venezuela, which Marco Rubio and the U. S. believe is the next Cuban-ally in Latin America that has to be transitioned to Miami-friendly status and totally removed from being Havana-friendly.
Venezuela's Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino told the Reuters News Agency that any U. S. attempt to stop the "legal trade between us and Iran will be resisted by the Venezuelan military." Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves but internal mistakes and problems greatly exacerbated by drastic U. S. sanctions have left the nation desperate economically and socially. But militarily, while not capable of beating the U. S. alone, Venezuela has a strong military of its own because of help from Russia and China.
Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping both have Superpower militaries that the U. S. doesn't need to tangle with. Yet, it seems that Rubio thinks that the U. S. can quickly and easily win a Caribbean War against...China, Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba...with Cuba, of course, Rubio's prize.
Back in January of 2019 when Rubio and the U. S. designated opposition leader Juan Guaido as the real President of Venezuela, many believed that President Nicolas Maduro's days were numbered. That was because major U. S. allies Brazil and Colombia in Latin America strongly support the move and dozens of other reputable nations such as Canada want Maduro gone. But then...Russia and China showed resistance to replacing Maduro with Guaido and both Superpowers beefed up Maduro militarily. The typical photo above shows a Chinese Boeing 747 airplane and a Russian ILYushin-62M airplane side-by-side at Venezuela's Simon Bolivar International Airport. Apparently, even Rubio couldn't persuade Trump to mess with major Russian and Chinese assets in Venezuela. Therefore, since January of 2019 the removal of Maduro has been stalled.
And for many months now Juan Guaido and Marco Rubio have been trying to see when and how the incomparable U. S. economy and military can make Guaido the next Miami-friendly/anti-Havana President of Venezuela. Rubio insists that poor little U.S.-blockaded Cuba is the only thing protecting the "Maduro regime." But...tuh...what about Russia and China.? Well in Bogota, Colombia, it is known that Guaido met with U.S.-Miami officials to discuss how Russia and China might accept a U.S.-backed coup in Venezuela. Knowing that Russia and China have major investments in Venezuela, as well as holding major Venezuela debt, it appears that Guaido and Rubio are trying to persuade Commander-in-Chief Trump that the U. S. needs to compensate Russia and China to make sure those Superpowers will accept a Venezuelan coup.
This photo shows Juan Guaido explaining some of his Venezuelan strategy to his most important buddy, the self-serving anti-Cuban zealot Marco Rubio. If you are an opposition leader seeking a regime-change in Latin America these days, you surely want Rubio's phone numbers -- in Little Havana, the White House, and in the U. S. Congress!!!
Although Guaido obviously considers Rubio his prime asset, his access to Trump at the White House is also vital.
Any Latin American opposition leader craves the support of the President of the United States and, thanks to Rubio, Guaido perhaps has Trump ready to go to war for him.
This photo shows Juan Guaido's wife Fabiola Rosales at the White House with President Trump. As with all Republican presidents, any key anti-Cuban in Latin American has carte blanche permission for presidential meetings with Trump if they solicit the approval of Trump's major anti-Cuban zealots -- Marco Rubio, Mario Diaz-Balart, Mauricio Claver-Carone, and Bob Menendez. Those four will never allow anyone with sane or moderate views regarding Cuba come near Trump.
So, yes...as of May 22nd, 2020...the President and Commander-in-Chief of the United States, Donald Trump, is the puppeteer that is installing Juan Guaido as the anti-Cuban President of Venezuela.
But make no mistake about the fact that Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami and in the U. S. Congress are in total control of President Trump's Cuban policies...and those policies are determined to make Miami-allied Juan Guaido the next President of Venezuela, replacing Havana-allied Nicolas Maduro.
Yes, Trump's CUBA POLICY could lead to a Caribbean War as early as the last week of May, 2020...especially if those five Iranian oil ships now heading to Venezuela are attacked by the U. S. If Russia and/or China decides to militarily support the audacious but desperate attempt by Venezuela and Iran to defy a well-defined Trump edict pertaining to the regime-change in Venezuela. In fact, a bloody situation could evolve if Russia and China back off and just let Venezuela and Iran try to protect those Iran-to-Venezuela oil shipments.
Believing that he has to have Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes if he hopes to get re-elected in November, President Trump turned the USA's CUBAN POLICY over to Little Havana's "Little" Marco Rubio. Now the American people might be asked to support the whirlwind of a Caribbean War that might be winnable but will then likely have expersive and dastardly revolutionary-type repercussions for decades to come.
A superstar Democracy that puts U. S. POLICY TOWARDS CUBA in the hands of Marco Rubio is asking for problems.
From Miami to Cuba to Venezuela, the last thing the Caribbean Sea needs is a Caribbean War. Yet, with Miami using Trump's tenure in the White House to finally fulfill its decades-old efforts to regain control of Cuba, it appears a Caribbean War is possible between now and November's upcoming presidential election.
