The USA does not have any intention at all, to engage in combat with Cuba.
I believe Cuba is in isolation stage and to get somehow a desperate attention, especially within Latin American countries, brings up dysfunctional ideas about war.
To the contrary, some south american leaders, are spending over 38 billions USD in weapons and military war equipment in the last five months. However, those countries are currently sufferirng from lack of drink water, absence of nutrition food, shortest of power and poor education system.
So, the question is : why food on a family table is being replaced by bullets.
