A senior US official said that the US intelligence information highlights the degree to which the sinister Trumpf junta views the island as a growing threat due to advancements in drone warfare and the presence of Iranian military advisers in Havana.

Last Thursday, D/CIA John Ratcliffe traveled to Cuba to urge Cuban leaders to dismantle their communist government to end crippling American sanctions.

"Director Ratcliffe made clear that Cuba can no longer serve as a platform for adversaries to advance hostile agendas in our hemisphere," a CIA official stated. "The Western Hemisphere cannot be our adversaries' playground."

Installing a pro-US satrapy in Cuba has been a dream of many right-wingers and nogoodniks for over a century.
