CIA Director John Ratcliffe Dropped One Heck of a Boss Move on Cuban Regime
|
[RedState] As we reported, while President Donald Trump was in China about ten days ago, CIA Director John Ratcliffe took a surprise trip to Cuba.
The CIA announced the trip by posting pictures of the meeting Ratcliffe had with Cuban leaders, with the faces of some of the CIA folks sitting with him blurred out. He reportedly delivered a message from Trump that the United States was prepared to "engage on economic and security issues, but only if Cuba makes fundamental changes."
Just the CIA being there was likely a message in itself. The CIA is not normally fronting diplomatic outreach. It was a "Understand our capabilities — you don't want to hit the 'find out' stage."
But as it turns out, Ratcliffe put even more of an exclamation point on that message, according to a CBS report, with one heck of a boss move. It's important to note in explaining this report that the former Venezuelan leader, Nicholas Maduro, had a Cuban security detail. In part because so many Venezuelans hated him. So it was safer for him than having Venezuelans in the detail. But in the capture of Maduro, Cuba claims that a number of those Cuban security people were killed.
According to the report, when Ratcliffe was in Cuba meeting with Cuban officials, he brought along the "paramilitary officer" involved in the mission to capture Maduro earlier this year.
Ratcliffe made a point of introducing the paramilitary leader to the Cubans as the one who killed their people in Venezuela, several sources said.
The presence of a paramilitary officer who was involved in capturing a key partner of the Cuban government just months earlier may have been intended to send a signal.
