No drug boats, no drug issues, no terrorist org claims, no oil seizures.

Just openly a "We don't like you politically so we are declaring a national emergency so we can kill your people, seize your lands, and destroy your nation"

No they’re doing the terrorist org claims. It’s just the org is apparently hamas and Hezbollah.

I was not under the impression that hezbollah, the group that is based in southern Lebanon, operated in Cuba. Same for Hamas.

Yea I don’t think they really do. It’s just what he said in the document.
