#1 The MSM may yawn, but Homeland Sec better take close notice. With AQ threats to use nukes on America, joined with the Alliance of Caribbean and Latin Weasels, this may not be an idle threat. Russians outnumber Cubans is some parts of south Florida. Spetznaz-trained Cubans and Venezuelans, Russians, FL-raised AQ (Shukrijumah) and Hezbollah throughout the region plus the southern coasts and ports are impossible to secure. A couple of hours by sea, with a shuttle of fishing trawlers, personal yachts, especially those well-equipped mega-yachts with Wi-Fi, helicopters and submersibles owned by Russian billionaires, and miles and miles of secluded coastline for drop-offs besides the illicit cargo packed alongside ethnic groceries, and they could have a quite an arsenal already in place. You can spend days at sea without ever seeing a customs official or even the Coast Guard so focusing all the $$$$ on the Mexican border is somewhat moot.

#3 Castro does know we'd retaliate and said so in '92 but he's also old, suicidal for the greater cause, and the damage done before any blame could be ascertained among the many possible co-conspirators.

From the Breitbart article:

The cataclysm he craved in Oct. 1962 will erupt, he warned on Cuban TV, when the Israelis and their Yankee vassals provoke Iran in the straits of Hormuz.

Thats not a typo above. Castro, who co-sponsored the famous 1975 UN resolution equating Zionism with Racism, says the Israeli tail wags the Yankee dog. Those Yankees are certainly powerful, Castro explained, but also a bit naïve and docile. The main instigators, the ones carefully setting the trap to ignite nuclear war are those crafty Israelis. The control that Israel has over the United States is enormous, he revealed last week.

Fidel Castro, that sentimental old fool, has excellent reason to bask in the fond memory of imminent nuclear war. Of course I knew the missiles were nuclear- armed, responded Fidel Castro to Robert McNamara during a meeting in 1992. Thats precisely why I urged Khrushchev to launch them. And of course Cuba would have been utterly destroyed in the exchange.

#4 Castro is predicting Armageddon is about to commence; obligatory Islamic warning to the in-Fidels? AP excerpt on Castro's appearance:

Recently, however, the former Cuban leader has been making near-daily appearances in and around Havana: He has addressed groups of Cuban intellectuals and Communist Youth meetings, and even made a trip to the Havana aquarium for a dolphin show.
Castro, who has written on the topic of nuclear war for months, maintains that the United States and Israel will attack Iran and that Washington could also target North Korea. He has suggested the conflict could have Armageddon-like consequences for the whole world, even predicting in several opinion columns that fighting was to already have begun by now.
