Lots of trainings scheduled for January.
In particular, hope this 1/31 event gets to Woodbury folks.
Not only do you have to deal with the Surge, but also fight the construction of a concentration camp.

Both Senators from Minnesota voted to confirm Rubio.
Has it been announced yet that they are “deeply concerned”

This is incredibly worth reading in light of what is happening now and the basis on which Trump and Rubio are pursuing charges against Maduro.

rubio pretty much believes in a reverse domino theory for latin america and since he is effectively running foreign policy in the region i would expect him to see cuba as his next target
And I don’t want to sound conspiratorial, but if they feel like they can do this in Venezuela without any serious consequences, they’re absolutely going to try it in Cuba too.
