Preaching peace, threatening neighbors and attacking countries without provocation. Hmmm, where have I seen this before...

With an administration like this one everything is possible.

But invading Cuba will be Bay of Pigs 2: Electric Boogaloo

Heck Venezuela already looks like it's gearing up for a repeat of Vietnam...
