USA is at refining capacity.
They could set one large refinery on fire and fuck up gas for the whole USA for months
Two big ones at the same time would probably cause shortages
Comment on drones ruin all the fun for US

HA! Not even. Florida has nothing worth hitting really. You know what I’d hit if I was Cuba? The LOOP. Offshore oil tanker loading and unloading facility in Gulf of Mexico south of Louisiana. The LOOP handles roughly 10-13% of US crude oil imports and is crucial for exports. You think gas prices are bad now? Just wait.

Except for that one specific house.

And little fun fact the US might have spent BILLIONS building missile defences in Israel but they haven’t built a single missile defence system along the gulf coast or anywhere else in the continental united states. The only thing they have is ICBM defence they do not have the missile defences the gulf states, US bases, or Israel have. If Cuba launched drones or missiles then the only way they can defend is to sit destroyers in the sea and try to use those to intercept them. Or use fighters. Which are not very good at doing that.
