Miami Mayor Francis Suarez says the U.S. should explore air strikes against Cuba, telling Fox News on Tuesday that “what should be contemplated right now is a coalition of potential military action in Cuba” similar to U.S. interventions in Panama and Yugoslavia under presidents from both parties.

Asked if he was suggesting air strikes in Cuba, the Cuban-American Republican responded: “What I’m suggesting is that option is one that has to be explored, and one that cannot be just simply discarded.”

Suarez, a Miami-born lawyer whose father was Miami’s first Cuban-born mayor, did not directly call for military action. But he said it should be considered, and pointed to past military interventions that included the killing of Osama Bin Laden with a U.S. air operation in Pakistan.

And, in an interview after the TV appearance, Suarez told the Miami Herald that he was told he’d receive a phone call from President Joe Biden after reaching out to the White House, and planned to ask the president to consider military intervention in Cuba.

The comments, made amid a wave of protests in Cuba and in Miami against the island’s communist regime, follow efforts by other Republican mayors in Miami-Dade to urge the White House to intervene in Cuba — calls that have prompted warnings against partisan saber-rattling

1. Damn man. There will be collateral damage with bombing raids

[SCantiGOP]

2. A lot of these people

still think that they are going to regain their lands and businesses that were confiscated when they fled the revolution. That simply isn’t going to happen.
The Soviet Union lasted a little over 70 years, while it has been over 60 years for the current Cuban regime. There is no way to go back and reconstruct a society after the passage of so much time.

3. I wasn't aware that the Miami police had an air wing.

[captain queeg]

4. Or that the mayor could recommend air strikes by US forces

These people are so frigging stupid and have no idea how things work. You’d think a big city mayor would have a little more knowledge that your run of the mill trump zombie.

5. Stupid-21?

6. "military action may be needed in Cuba"

Sure, send in "your" army ...

7. Right. And when Biden won't jump into war with Cuba, they'll attack Biden.

They already plan on it.

“What I’m suggesting is that option is one that has to be explored, and one that cannot be just simply discarded.”

He is making that clear with this comment - "just simply discarded" and saying it on Fox.

He knows full well the U.S. is not going to attack Cuba.

8. Dude, Grandma and Grandpa lost, and they left, and it was 60 FUCKING YEARS AGO

Move ON already.

9. I'm tired of these Cuban-American assholes

dreaming about 'regaining' the old Cuba. The one with brutal dictators and mob-run casinos.
