I imagine grand descriptions of his imagined battle with the United States is getting non-stop
coverage on his communist state-run TV and in his communist state-run paper.
Delusions of grandeur - or of importance. Here we have a decrepid senile old man who maintains authority through his military, spends more on weapons than anything else, yet somehow the US embargo is what is starving the people there. Sound familiar? (Iraq, North Korea)
I'd like to see the Cuban Air Force (who took almost an hour and a half to shoot down a Cessna) take on even a small Air National Guard unit from the States - much less a carrier battle group. If the US were interested in building an "empire" as the world press insists, I don't think that these starving commies would still be there. Actually, I can't understand why we have allowed this zit to stay on our butt for so long.
