US Prepares Caribbean Armada for Potential Cuba Invasion

The Pentagon has positioned forces and weapons for a possible U.S. invasion of Cuba and is awaiting final approval from President Donald Trump. The Caribbean hosts the largest U.S. naval presence outside the Middle East, with the USS Nimitz carrier strike group, destroyers and cruisers, drones, and amphibious ships carrying Marines ready to act, though a major ground operation would require more troops and strain crews after prolonged deployments. Analysts note the move would be a forceful option and could target leadership, while officials weigh feasibility and risks in a rapidly evolving security environment.
