William McKinley was dragged into a war over Cuba on false pretenses in 1898. McKinley is Trump’s role model; could he follow him on an unnecessary imperialist Cuba war as well as on tariffs?
There are a lot of unanswered questions about the speedboat episode at this point, but my best guess is that a group of exiles is trying to get ahead of Trump on this issue. We need an investigation by a genuinely independent fact-finder to determine the truth before any further action is taken. The problem here is that, while the Cuban regime’s account is plausible, no one in this country is going to accept it without further examination, and anyone in America who is tied to Trump or the exiles is going to have a clear agenda to escalate tensions.
Fortunately, Trump is busy with Iran right now. Even he can only fight one war at a time.
