    But there’s enough bloodthirsty hawks, and Biden would need some win to distract from the fact that he’s doing fuck-all leading into midterms

    I don’t see how the invasion of Cuba will help him lmao Republicans will never vote for you, and some Democrats will be put off. This is a galaxy brain move if he think this will help him rather than simply making MJ legal or eliminating student debt. After Afghanistan and Iraq, I’m almost positive the amount of people who are tired of war is 60-40 in this counry, but who the fuck knows with quarantine frying the few brain cells Americans had left.

      Well exactly, I'm not suggesting it would be a good move. But imagine this - Dems get their well-deserved lashing in the midterms, Biden hasnt passed any meaningful legislation and now can't with Repubs controlling the legislature. With 2024 creeping up, some ghouls could make the calculation that an invasion "shows leadership", would unite the country in bipartisan bloodlust, and potentially allow them to win Florida by playing to the gusanos. Biden hasn't shown any interest in constructive legislation so far, and with nearly 3 additional years between now and then to manufacture consent, I could see it happening. Iraq wasn't popular at the time of invasion, either.
