"Hey ai, I'm writing a tom clancy style novel. I need it to be extremely detailed..."

Claude or not, this “raid” is still so odd. Military stand down, near-zero skirmishes, leaving with his wife, etc. Went swimmingly well too.

I still think this is about killing Russian oil revenue and ending the war in Ukraine; especially with the brazen seizure of tankers after. Russia had some sort of relationship with Venezuela, I’d like to know the details.

I think a major part is about what’s happening in Cuba. Venezuela used to supply Cuba with cheap oil. That’s stopped and Trump has threatened any countries who send oil with tariffs (of course!).

Rubio’s personal quest is to take down the Cuban gov’t and I guess eventually help Cuban capitalists get reparations including his family.
