5. I fear that this crew will go through with it

Causing humanitarian crises doesn’t seem to bother them very much.

I don’t think that either the Trumpies or those Cuban emigres dreaming of using the American military to overthrow the Havana government have thought about the consequences. I suspect that the emigres who plan to take over Cuba’s government and economy will be reviled as traitors or turncoats or worse. The Cuban people will not see the US military as liberators and will fight.

Also the Cartels will have a heyday. Imagine a launching pad a mere 90 miles or so from the US mainland, an impoverished, resentful population with no love for the Gringo authorities, and the cartels are better-armed, better-organized and far more ruthless than the old Mob ever was.

Watch the excrement hit the fan!

And the Rethuglies claim they are better at foreign affairs than those Commie-lib Democrats ever were.

Yeah, sure, right.
