I told you Trump was aiming for Venezuela, Iran and Cuba as Caesar’s victory tour for the midterms

This isn’t strategy. It’s theatre.
Because when Donald Trump says “Cuba is next” after Venezuela and Iran, he’s not outlining foreign policy — he’s building a victory lap. And the terrifying part is that real countries, real people, and global stability are being dragged along as props.
“Cuba is next” — but what’s the actual plan?

This isn’t geopolitics — it’s political theatre
I told you that this entire fiasco was Trump wanting to hold the scalps of America’s great three enemies, Venezuela, Iran and Cuba up like a triumphant Caesar returning triumphant at the FIFA World Cup Opening right before the mid terms.
Hand on heart, I don’t believe Trump gives three shits about democracy in Venezuela, Iran or Cuba, hell I don’t think he could place them on a map. He’s only pissed off with Iran because in his head he’s already invading Cuba!
There is no coherent strategy here — and that absence is starting to show in Iran has lain his haste and real intentions bare and we are all feeling them at the pump.
I keep arguing this is the most serious geopolitical blunder since Vietnam and that Trump has completely miscomprehended that the Iranian regime being a theocracy is staffed by zealots who can’t be bribed or bullied the way a corrupt crony revolutionary mafia in Venezuela could be bullied and bribed.
His whole play was to beat America’s great three enemies as political theatre. We should be horrified — because this isn’t how stable powers behave.
If this really is a “victory tour,” it won’t end in applause. Because history has a long memory when it comes to leaders who mistake escalation for strength — and the bill for that kind of miscalculation is never paid by the people making the speeches.
