Slop.

It's their last remaining legitimizing strategy for world policing. It's the only way they can frame distant countries as potentially dangerous to the US when none of them do any actual terror attacks.

It follows the Noriega precedent and general DEA operations across Latin America.

Of course in this particular case, Cuba is by no means 'narco' at all. The links were very tenuous with calling Maduro a narco - especially whilst not applying it to actual Narco presidents like Hernandez or Duque over the years - but due to Venezuela's border with Colombia there was always going to be some drug trafficking activity (comparitively none compared to Colombia or Honduras though).

Calling Cuba narcoterrorist really has no precedent or evidence at all. This guy clearly hasn't read the recent memo - the US Government report on Cuba a few weeks ago frames the problem with Cuba as:

1. Historical and present cultural exporters of Marxist anti imperialism, and third worldist thought regarding minorities in the U.S being part of the global proletariat.

2. Cuba as a foreign intelligence and security base. They host bases and share intel with all of America's usual enemies - in part ideologically, but in part out of necessity - because they can't participate in regular trade due to sanctions, they instead can only really trade in their long developed intelligence and guerilla expertise. Also, it benefits them to be a proxy of the China and Russia in order to protect themselves from American aggression.

This is all to say, America continues to force Cuba to play the role of the enemy. They create the problem to sell you the solution.

I think it’s the term that gets the most attention of Trump.

Doing terrorism by participating in the free market and providing in-demand goods to motivated customers

What's blowback? CIA? Contra?
