On the one hand, we're seeing the consent manufactury kick into overdrive and a lot of state department goblins seem to be absolutely itching for a fresh round of meddling. Cuba as a client state would open the door to all manner of renewed imperial nightmares in the carribean and South America.
On the other hand, it feels like most people's reception of the situation outside of dedicated chuds and Floridians (but I repeat myself) is muted, and I've already seen a few small anti-intervention protests pop up. After two decades of war, with a domestic civil society whose coherency is hanging by a thread and a global presence that is increasingly challenged, I feel like a flubbed regime change effort there would be the true beginning of the end for the U.S.' empire.
If this is a dumb-dumb take, please don't hesitate to tell me so.
Gotta send the troops from Afghanistan "somewhere", amiright?

Yeah, the US unelected government at State and the Pentagon are furious someone took away their war. Just livid. They thought they had that stitched up for life. You can find speeches where diplomats and generals calmly inform us we'll be in Afghanistan for the next 50-75 years and we just need to get used to the idea.
