Who believes that Cuba is going to use drones against us?

The right is batshit crazy if they believe this.
Cuba supposedly has 300 drones. WTF is 300 drones going to do to us? Absolutely nothing. Besides they have no oil and running out of just about everything.
Diaper Don is hoping for a big win since his other war isn’t going the way he planned.
In one of his speeches he mentioned how Ronnie took on Grenada, another world power, and defeated them handily.
He’s desperately looking for a win.

I don’t know who in the hell we think we are that we can keep waging all of these wars and interventions without consequence.

If there's something in the files that's so damning (and more importantly , PROVEABLE) that it could get IQ47 removed from office and it comes out somehow, the M$M will simply distract everyone by endlessly pontificating on how the Biden administration should've told the public about it prior to the 2024 election. Biden's failure to let people know will become "the story", and the entire magasphere will proclaim it be "fake news" and/or "planted by the Deep State". The GQP bootlickers in congress will defend it as something happened before IQ47 took office, and therefore not relevant, and they'll NEVER vote to impeach. Even after we take the House back in January 2027, and DO impeach the asshole, we won't even be close to the number of votes we'd need in the Senate to remove no matter what happens in that election.

I know it's tempting to take the news that a bunch of stuff is still allegedly being withheld as de facto evidence that there's something so earth-shatteringly horrible within them that it could bring down the IQ47 regime, but the reality is we don't KNOW that. Safe bet there's things Trump doesn't want known, but that doesn't mean they'll rise to the necessary level to get him removed from office. And even then, he gets removed, Vance takes over.

Operating off of free oil from both Venezuela and Mexico which they would partially resell for cash. There propaganda video was a 1950’s and aircraft machine gun firing in the air and being pulled by an Oxen. It’s going to be a dumpster fire when it completely collapses. They have had limited power for many years and food shortages.

Maybe they send some drones into who knows what in an attempt to force the US to negotiate ? I can’t imagine them really doing any serious damage.

I do believe that Cuba is a hopeless money pit for whoever takes them over. The government and military has drained what cash they were given and never invested in infrastructure.

Havana could never rise above itself. American investment of time, effort and money into denying Cuba's evolution has been ugly in its consequences. And now some clown in bad makeup wants us to believe they're a finally threat...

They attack us? To what end?
We wouldn't negotiate.
We'd vindictively bomb them to oblivion & blockade the island until all out civil war breaks out.
How would Cuba benefit from that?
There is nothing to be gained by such an attack. It's do nothing or be nothing. Gee, which will they choose?

Which is what this is. Not only are Fox Propaganda and their clones perpetually fomenting anger, they also know that their audience is made up primarily of that 30% of the population who are more easily manipulated by fear than are their liberal counterparts. Their audience is starting to figure out who is actually screwing them over, so they resort to their tried-and-true "distract by scaring the shit out of them." "Never mind that $6/gal gas. The Cubans want to kill you with drones!!1!1!!"
