1:01:24Now PlayingPolitico reports the U.S. is pouring more intelligence assets toward Cuba—on top of surging spy flights, an oil blockade, and a Pentagon review of military options. Former NATO ambassador Ivo Daalder joins Cliff live at 2:00 p.m. ET to answer the question hanging over all of it.
Ivo Daalder served as U.S. ambassador to NATO from 2009 to 2013 and is president emeritus of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Few people are better positioned to read a military buildup for exactly what it is.
On today’s show:
🔹 What the new intel surge actually signals—reconnaissance before diplomacy, or targeting before a strike
🔹 The blockade, Executive Order 14380, and the humanitarian collapse inside Cuba
🔹 The “drone threat” justification—and whether the intelligence supports it
🔹 What America’s allies do when Washington starts a war of choice ninety miles from Florida
🔹 Whether Congress—or anyone—can stop it
