Rubio warns Cuba has infiltrated US with spies, calls communist regime an 'espionage superpower'

Secretary of State Marco Rubio raised concerns about Cuba’s ability to infiltrate and influence top-level U.S. institutions, detailing what he described as a dangerous Cuban spy network that is undermining American interests.

"A failed state 90 miles from our shores that happens to be aligned with adversaries to the United States is a national security threat to our country," he told "My View with Lara Trump" on Saturday.

His comments follow the State Department’s recent release of a 100-page report detailing Cuba’s influence operations in the U.S., linking the nation to Antifa and radical activism while labeling it the "capital of 21st-century communism."

"They actually are an influence and espionage superpower," Rubio said. "If you look at the history of espionage in the United States, Cuba is the only country that consistently has implanted and embedded spies in our system without even paying them," he said.

"We had… a U.S. ambassador, who ended up being a Cuban spy and was recently convicted," he continued. "We've had them penetrate the highest levels of Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).".............

Out of curiosity I wondered how many terrorist organizations are within the U.S.

The United States Department of State recognizes 94 current Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, and designated international drug cartels. The U.S. government does not officially designate domestic groups as "terrorist organizations," instead prosecuting domestic terror actors under specific federal criminal laws.

That's not new.  Why is a such a big friggin' deal now?  It's been a given since Castro too power.

Don't tell me we are going to war with Cuba to distract from Iran, which was distraction from Venezuela, which was a distraction from the Epstein files.

Rubio must be ginning up GOP Cuban diaspora voter turnout for the midterms.

Well, I suppose you could certainly look at the war in Iran as a simple distraction, but IMHO the urgency to bomb Iran to protect us from nukes is more than a mere distraction.
