The story of U.S. diplomats injured in Cuba gets more weird every day. According to what we hear, it was an apparent attack with a sonic weapon that targeted their homes.
So what happened? How did this happen?
We don’t know for sure but I have a couple of theories:
First, the attack may have come from another country in Cuba, such as Russia or North Korea. After all, the Castro regime and the family in North Korea have been buddies for a long time. I would not put it beyond the North Koreans to do something like this.
Second, the Cuban government may be sending President Trump a message, although I am not sure that attacking U.S. diplomats was smart on their part. I would not be surprised to see the Trump administration use this incident to stop or delay contacts with the island.
We will wait for more details. However, this is not the U.S.-Cuba relationship that President Obama started at the end of 2014.
Something’s gone wrong since President Obama and Dictator Raul took this photo in Havana in 2016.
