Take over Cuba that is. Hypothetically speaking of course, say a bunch of like minded 2nd Amendment enthusiasts decided to set up a new .gov in Cuba, how would you go about it. Storm the beaches, airdrops, clandestine infiltration, etc.? Keep in mind, you have no backup from any .mil, this is just you and a few other people. How would you fund your takeover force? What kind of .gov would you set up? What would you do to maintain a steady economy so that your new .gov and country could thrive? What kind of laws would you put in place? Etc., etc.?
Why Cuba? Because, it's the easiest country to reach that wouldn't result in too much political backlash after the current .gov is overthrown.

Get a bunch of old A-26's, and...
Wait. That didn't work.
BTW, you'd be pummeled to death by the 90% of Cubans that love their dear leader and now their dear leader's sibling.
Shouting Cuban exiles in Miami whose families lost their stuff when Batista fell =/= Cubans who like their communism. You might as well invade North Korea. The North Korean people would stomp on you.
That's just how things are.

Whatever you're tokin, please don't bogart.

Seriously with what we all have in our gun safes at home, the flotilla of bass boats, duck blinds and one Sugar Momma, a few private planes for our air force we'd get our asses handed to us by the Cuban Military.

Unless we had Will Smith and Martin Lawrence on our side.

Puntland. That is all.

i have a son who was an army ranger in grenada that can vouch for the cubans fighting style and spirit.
interesting fantasy to have

How would I do it?
I wouldn't. If anything, I'd shell it from a boat; but that probably wouldn't last long either.

Airdrops! But not troops or bombs.
Drop Lazy Boy chairs, new cars, huge LCD TVs, cases of beer and pallets of gourmet food, all on huge parachutes. Let them live it up for about a week and ponder what it all means.
Then drop millions of fliers filled with capitalist propaganda, suggesting that if they overthrow the regime there will be plenty more where that came from.
Oh, and Jamis' wife can pay for all the air-dropped stuff. =D

count me out. my hair would frizz in that humidity.
hmmmm.....
well maybe, the frizz is a potant weapon.

Why don't we just start with someplace like Iceland instead ? :rolleyes:
We could probably take up a collection and just buy it right now ;)

You can buy it cheap, but you couldn't invade.
"We claim this land in the na..." (Icelandic women walk by.) "...um...Hi!"

Too cold for me, anyway. I prefer the nice, balmy Caribbean weather.

Construct the world's longest pontoon bridge from FL to Cuba and wait for it to empty out.

I was going to post "why bother?" until I read this.

Thread win.

Take over Cuba that is.
I figure I would follow Castro's model if I wanted to take over Cuba. It seems to have worked for him.

Take over Cuba?
Open a McDonalds and an Autozone...

"We claim this land in the na..." (Icelandic women walk by.) "...um...Hi!"
and you wouldn't have the same problem with cuban women dressed in flowery bits of nothing?
and another big argument for allowing women in combat (we don't get as distracted by the, ahem, local scenery) =D
-
Cuba will become a resort haven that will put the rest of the Caribbean to shame.
The best way to take it over is to invest in beach front real estate, deep water cruise ship ports, and air transportation hubs
The europeans are already there

Wal-Mart.
Game over.

Because it's cold there. ;/
Yeah, but they've got hot springs. Filled with hot Icelandic women.
