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.
A few of the people I interact with on a daily basis are conduits for the American media ecosystem, instantly regurgitating whatever's in the current zeitgeist. A few are plugged in on the lib side, most on the chud side. I've been able to use them to gauge a baseline of standard American views and they haven't let me down so far.
All of them have already forgotten about Cuba. It stuck in their heads for about three days and it's already gone. The chuds are already back to the whole Arizona vote audit thing. The liberals are on a mish-mash of nothing/brunch or Olympics talk. Both of them have completely forgotten anything happened in Israel this year and I expect them to also forget anything about Cuba. They already hate Cuba so it's not like the latest news story changed anything about their opinions.
Y'all know anyone on that vaguely apolitical slash watches the news sometimes spectrum who is still thinking about Cuba?
Wait, was this the one where they were looking for bamboo fibers on the ballots?!
Yeah, there's still round the clock updates on that in right wing media. Trump himself was talking about it a few days ago. They're still on this and still think they're gonna overthrow the election.
