Alarm raised when Intelligence Officers were impacted.
The first disturbing reports of piercing, high-pitched noises and inexplicable ailments pointed to someone deliberately targeting the U.S. government’s intelligence network on the communist-run island, in what seemed like a bone-chilling escalation of the tit-for-tat spy games that Washington and Havana have waged over the last half century.
I am not surprised to read that these attacks are taking taking place at the Diplomats homes and hotels … because the standard construction of our embassies is rather “robust” … with layers of materials and electronics to detect and deter any spying … or “death rays” … aimed at our Embassy.
And how is this NOT an act of WAR against America? When Iran seized our Embassy personnel … Jimmy Carter sent a FAILED rescue mission to bring them home. Why aren’t these Diplomats ALL being recalled, and a declaration of WAR issued ?
Please don’t write “tit for tat.” That is so puerile.
I’m not sure you know what ‘puerile’ means. Tit-for-tat is a long established English saying for an equivalent retaliation. The saying itself can be traced back nearly 500 years, and no, there’s nothing ‘childish’ about it.
Like many sayings, the exact words have gotten blurred over the centuries. It was originally ‘tip for tap’.
Surely, you didn’t mean to say that.
He’s just pissed that he’s all outta tat.
“Why aren’t these Diplomats ALL being recalled, and a declaration of WAR issued?”
Because most diplomats are spies. How are they supposed to handle their Cuban contacts if they all get recalled?
Genuine question: How many wars do you want the U.S. to be fighting at once?
There is still the Russian invasion of Ukraine(yes, they’re still fighting) and prospects of a wider war, there are the NorKs and the Chicoms looming, there is action going on in Syria/Iraq, Afghanistan just got a surge of more troops, the State Department says Venezuela is a security threat, the U.S. is war weary. How many wars?
Now this is puerile:
A company I worked for had a Japanese-Canadian, Tatsumo (Tats for short) who was retiring after 20-years in the Mail Room. To celebrate, his colleagues, of course, took him to the local strip club. For you see, justice demands, there really should be Tits-for-Tats.
Mostly a true story. 😉
Good point. We should just pretend that others haven’t declared WAR on us … and .. oh … I don’t know … maybe just RETREAT from every corner of the world and ISOLATE ourselves here in the homeland.
If countries went to war over this type of thing the whole world would be at war with someone. This is probably just the Russkis being A$$holes,they are real good at that.Just trying to torment President Trump nothing more.
I don’t believe for one second that the Cubans are behind this. They have nothing to gain and much to lose. Russians!! What about NK ??
