4 killed in military strike on alleged drug boat in Caribbean — The Hill
The U.S. military blew up another alleged drug-trafficking go-fast boat in the Caribbean on Sunday, killing four “narco-terrorists,” the U.S. Southern Command (Southcom) announced.
Etc…the latest boat strike comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated over the weekend that U.S. service members might be redeployed from Europe to the Western Hemisphere as the Trump administration intensifies its deadly campaign against drug cartels in South America.
Hegseth told reporters on Saturday that “some of those capabilities are going to move elsewhere, either back home to the big, beautiful base that we’re going to build that we announced a couple of days ago, or to a different posture in the Western Hemisphere as we get after these designated terrorist organizations.”
The Trump administration has described the boat strike campaign as part of its effort to cut off the trafficking of illegal drugs in the region and as one of the ways to protect the American homeland. Some law-of-experts, rights activists and Democratic lawmakers have denounced the strikes as summary executions.

'It's Sociopathic': Trump Torched Over Fresh Hints He Wants To Take Over Greenland — HuffPost
The US president posted two bizarre images on his Truth Social platform.
US seizes $3 million in fuel shipments to Cuba as crackdown continues — Reuters
The US said on Wednesday it had seized 90 separate shipments of biodiesel bound for Cuba worth nearly $3 million, the second time in a week US authorities have announced the seizure of "illegal" fuel en route to the island nation.
The Trump administration's fuel blockade on Cuba has been called "illegal" by the United Nations and "economic warfare" by Cuba`s communist-run government. It has vastly worsened ongoing blackouts, water shortages and inflation across the island, pushing the island toward a humanitarian crisis.
I have to say that this is one activity (for lack of a better word) that I don't agree with Trump doing. For what purpose? It's the people who suffer, not the leadership.The enforcement action comes as the Trump administration continues to strangle Cuba's energy sector, allowing only relatively small shipments of fuel to reach the island's private sector in a program aimed at undercutting the Cuban government.

Even if it was just the government that suffered, it’s a sovereign nation that’s not at war with America, & America claims that it’s not a war with Cuba, so…..???
Thats the point.
Who cares? Its the same America its always been. Whats different? We see what our parents didnt, how shitty and corrupt it is.
U.S. ambassador warns Canada to 'keep your nose out of American politics' — Toronto Star
Ambassador Pete Hoekstra is suggesting Canada might be conducting "election interference" ahead of his country's midterm votes in November.
Keep your nose out of American politics just like America is keeping its nose out of Canadian politics, and Cuban politics, and Venezuelan politics, and Iranian politics, and Danish politics, and so on so forth….right?"Keep your nose out of American politics, you know, four weeks before an election," Hoekstra says. "We see all of that … We're monitoring it, we're evaluating it, and if some of it becomes election interference, then American will respond to it."

‘We got Greenland’: Trump pushes a made-up line about ownership of the arctic island — MS NOW
The more the president falsely claims he successfully acquired Greenland, the more important it becomes to set the record straight.
The sharp political instincts of Trump, meanwhile, now have him less than two weeks out from the midterm elections, all but promising another immediate conflict should the Iran War ever actually conclude: A quick little invasion of Cuba as our warships arrive back on the Eastern seaboard.
“We’ll do a little stopover,” said Trump. “Actually, what we’re going to do with Cuba is, we’re going to come back from Iran. Those beautiful ships will pass Cuba. We’ll have one of them stop about 50 yards off the coast. They’ll raise up their hands. And then we’re going to send Marco Rubio in to finish up the deal.”
Trump congratulates PQ leader on winning Oct. 5 election — CTV News
U.S. President Donald Trump has congratulated the leader of the Parti Québécois (PQ) for winning the provincial election, three weeks after the fact.
Then Marco Rubio would somehow find the time, given that the son of Cuban immigrants is the biggest hawk in the federal government for the purging of the Cuban regime, regardless of however many lost lives this might entail. He is probably the only person who wants the fall of Cuba more desperately than Trump wants it.
No Closer to Leaving Iran, Trump Is Fantasizing About Invading Cuba Again — Jezebel
Master of subterfuge (and spelling) Marco Rubio told the people of Cuba to seek out a "discrete" partnership with the CIA.
Rubio and Trump continue to ignore what they have no doubt been told on hundreds of occasions: Cuba does not have any kind of organized, established opposition party that is ready to lead a popular uprising, which is why you can’t simply tell its people to get on that whole “overthrow the government” thing and expect it to happen.
