Not thread drift but interesting developments elsewhere.
Looking at American news media yesterday evening it seems DJT’s and others focus is shifting towards Cuba
It seems the 94 year old Raul Castro is a clear and present danger and wanted for the shoot down of 2 civilian Cessna 337 aircraft operated by a Cuban dissident group based in Florida in 1996, a mere 30 years ago!
Could this be a deliberate distraction from the lack of progress in the Persian Gulf?
Another factor could be the Cuban / Latino vote in the upcoming midterms.
