What's the Cuban population in the United States, Cuban-born or Cuban descent?

Five, six million probably at least, I would think.

I also think it's been under-discussed that maybe the biggest impact immediately of Venezuela was cutting off the supply of oil to Cuba and creating an opportunity to have, quote-unquote, a friendly takeover in Cuba, more so than in Venezuela.

Let me also say, Buck, I think this is important because you're now seeing the same arguments that were made before we struck Iran.

And those arguments are, oh, my goodness, to your point, we're going to be going to war.

The danger is going to be huge, paramount, all of these different things.

Why didn't that happen when we took out Iran in the so-called, was it 12-day war before Iran?

Iran has no ability to actually push back in any kind of significant way.

And if they had, they would have done that back in the time of the first attack, June of last year.

The challenge with Iran, as I see it, is who takes over?

Because I do think if we really let Iran have it, the Ayatollah's ability to maintain control in Iran is significantly curtailed.

And we're going to talk, by the way, with Deborah Lee about Iran at the top of the next hour and see what she thinks on the timings and everything else associated with it.

And you were in Iraq, Buck.

And the challenge I think that is there is when you wipe out a whole cadre of leadership, you end up with a void.

And in that void, it's a real time of uncertainty as to who is going to rise to power.

And so I'm less concerned with the strike on Iran and more concerned with the implications, the ripple effect that spreads out from the attack on Iran.

And so what happens if we end up in this sort of power vacuum style situation?

Super weird story.

Yes, 24-foot boat with it somehow got a bunch of Americans on it.

My response to that would be, in general, do we feel like the Cuban government is in any way competent enough to stop us from a covert drop into Cuba if we wanted people?
