HAVANA (AP) — The Trump administration made clear Tuesday that it sees Cuba as the next country where the U.S. can play out its desires on the world stage.

“Cuba right now is in very bad shape,” President Donald Trump said, a day after Cuba’s third nationwide blackout in four months as the socialist island’s economy suffers under U.S. sanctions.

“And we’ll be doing something with Cuba very soon,” the president added.

Until recently, Trump’s comments on change in the socialist island nation might have been considered remarkable. But they come after his administration’s audacious U.S. military raid that captured then-President Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, cutting off oil exports from that nation that had propped up the Cuban economy. They also follow the launch of U.S. military strikes against Iran earlier this month.

1. Rubio needs to STFU

And let other countries determine their own direction. It's not our business.

2. Of course they're in "bad shape", these assholes are putting them there.

The imperialist swine have never left Cuba alone to determine their own fate. And now they’re trying to starve them out and cut off all resources.

This is all the doing of this government.

I hate these bastards with the fire of a thousand suns. I really hope someday they get what they deserve.

3. 60+ years of economic embargo will wreck any country and that's what we've done to our neighbors

Open up the markets for food and water and energy and encourage..not demand..citizens vote for their leadership. Their medical schools are sought after and their care for their environment are well known. There much that can be done if we would take our boot off their necks.

4. We should call for new American leaders after deepening economic crisis here.
