Pentagon puts building blocks in place for Cuba invasion [View all]
The Pentagon has spent months positioning the troops and weapons needed for the U.S. to launch a military attack on Cuba all it needs is a final go-ahead from Donald Trump.
The president has floated an invasion of the island after economic and political pressure failed to topple the Communist government. But the Navys built-up presence in the region the largest in the world outside the Middle East would allow the U.S. to act immediately.
These strategically placed assets set the table for military action, from a capture of Havanas leadership much like the seizure of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, to a series of precision strikes. And they open the possibility that the U.S. throws itself into the third international conflict of the Trump administration.
