Toddler throws another tantrum to get attention. Film at 11.
So, Iran is basically the new Cuba. This forever war is one long-ass humiliation ritual a'la the Bay of Pigs. And this dumbass motherfucker is still just pretending the US won and we're in a position of power.

Awesome.
Iran alliance with China and Russia is stronger and Iran still control the straight. I don't think it is another Cuba. Cuba is powerless
It's not a comment on Cuba's current power or lack thereof.
It's a comment on the presumption of American might against a lesser foe and the spectacular failure therof, and this scenario is similar to the US/Cuba conflict that occurred in the 1960's.
