Iran's flames are still burning, and Trump is already eager to aim for the next target: Cuba.
Today's cartoon from Singapore's Straits Times reveals that Trump will continue his "crazy actions": On March 16 local time, Trump vowed to "take over" Cuba, saying that Cuba is now a very weak country, and "I think I can deal with it as I please."
Trump's wild words about "taking over" Cuba expose his hegemonic logic. This "survival of the fittest" colonial mentality is the essence of "America First": compromising with the strong and bullying the weak, treating international law as scrap paper.
Cuba is facing a complete power outage due to the U.S. oil embargo, deepening humanitarian crisis, and Trump taking advantage of the situation only shows his naked lack of bottom line. However, Cuba is not an easy target. More than six decades of blockade have not broken its will, and the resurgence of the Monroe Doctrine will only trigger a wave of anti-American sentiment in Latin America.
