Mayor of Miami on Bombing Cuba: 'That Option Is One That Has To Be Explored'

[TexasTowelie]

Miami mayor Francis Suarez appeared on Fox News Tuesday to offer suggestions on the United States should respond to the unrest in Cuba, where tens of thousands of protestors have risen up against the communist regime. Suarez told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum he thinks military options should be on the table.

“It’s difficult for any elected official, Republican or Democrat, not to take the side of the Cuban people when they see images of people risking their lives, protesting in the streets,” he said.

Suarez then suggested using the U.S. military to assist the protestors:

What should be being contemplated right now is a coalition of potential military action in Cuba similar to what has happened in both administrations in both Republican and Democrat administrations. And Republican–with Bush in Panama, they deposed Noriega. And that country had peaceful democracy for decades. And you had interventions by a Democratic president taking out Osama bin laden in Pakistan. It’s a sovereign country where they took out a terrorist and saved probably thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of lives. And president Clinton in Kosovo intervening in a humanitarian issue with air strikes. So there have been many, many opportunities in the history of–

FL haters are special.

2. Wow, this will be interesting.

Cubans from Florida going to fight the Cuban government. Since most people that I know don’t have a problem with Cuba, I’m not supportive of the nation getting into another war. But if the Cuban Americans have that much of a problem, then it’s on them to fight and die.

20. Cubans don't fight they run

[montanacowboy]

7. Would we call it Bay of Pigs Dux

Jesus these Florida Cubans, never stop dreaming of the good old days of Batista

[sop]

8. Miami-Dade is the only place where local politicians actually run on their foreign policy positions.

Instead of focusing on schools, roads and taxes, candidates spend more time debating things like military interventions in Cuba, Venezuela and Haiti. Rubio and DeSantis will jump on this bandwagon before the week is out.

[Initech]

9. Why do their solutions always involve bombing, killing, or murder?

And this isn't just an isolated incident either. It's a constant with the Trump crowd.

[csziggy]

11. Because they are the "Pro-Life" party, of course

[The Magistrate]

10. That's Quite A Dingleberry Got The Mayoral Seat There, Sir

For combined impracticality and idiocy this takes the cake.

[IcyPeas]

12. Interesting, he didn't vote for DeSantis or TFG.

He was elected on November 7, 2017 with 86 percent of the vote. Suarez is the first Miami-born mayor. He is a registered Republican... Suarez is the son of former Miami Mayor and former Miami-Dade County Commissioner Xavier Suarez.
...
In 2018, Suarez voted against Republican nominee and later Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis in the 2018 Florida gubernatorial election and instead voted for his Democratic opponent Andrew Gillum for which he was criticized by fellow Republicans. Suarez did not vote for the Incumbent Republican Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
...
In July 2020, Suarez dedicated 39 police officers to enforce a Miami-wide mask-wearing ordinance

[bahboo]

13. dude might to read up on history....

jesus...

[moondust]

14. Maybe from a Batista family.

~
Suarez’s father...immigrated to Washington D.C. and was the first Cuban mayor of Miami. Suarez said that his father came to the United States in the 1960s and was the ninth of 14 children.
~
Suarez’s father described Cuba as an "idyllic" and "modern" place before Castro’s reign. Many of Suarez’s older relatives had been "imprisoned" under Castro.

GQP apparently runs a lot of propaganda there in Little Havana smearing Democrats as evil communists and socialists (like Castro).

[Buckeyeblue]

15. If Biden could figure out a way to oust the communists in Cuba

He'd flip the traditional Cuban-American voters.

[Volaris]

16. For exactly ONE election. Most of those peeps are nearly fascists in their own right,

And if the same thing that happened to the Soviet Union, doesnt happen to Cuba, theyll be pissed off again. They dont want Cuba Free and Fairly Elected, they want it PRIVATIZED and FOR PROFIT.

[Buckeyeblue]

19. You're probably right. But it would still be a great accomplishment

[Volaris]

21. I'm not sayin I wont take it, I'm just not gonna be all glassy-eyed that the

Pro-Batistas in miami are gonna turn Florida permanently blue lol

[sop]

22. The Miami anti-Castrista Cubans have been openly salivating at the opportunity to return to the

island for the last fifty years. They aren't so much interested in liberating the Cuban people from communism, they're just out to make as much money as possible. Detailed plans have been drawn up, investment groups have been formed, the whole operation is ready to move at a moment's notice. It's no secret, that's all these "patriotas cubanos" have been talking about on Miami's Spanish language media for decades.

[Volaris]

23. That's what I mean when I say they could give a fuck about Cubas government,

As long as they're getting to pick over the carcass.

[whistler162]

17. Didn't know mules lived this long

but then talking mules are a rarity!

[alphafemale]

18. Is he of Cuban descent?

That is out there loco even for Florida.

Can you imagine a rogue Governor using their National Guard or another country?

Aren't the people of Cuba hurting enough?

He wants to bomb them?
