Rep. McGovern: Cubans "Screwed Over" by "Arrogant Politicians in Washington"

Published | Video Starts at 02:35

This would be horrible, wasteful, inhumane and illegal. Cuba is not doing anything that would legitimize a war. Congress has approved no declaration of war, no authorization for the use of military force. Military action against Cuba would make America a rogue state, aligning us with Russia, China, Iran and others that believe that international rules don't matter. And if you want to know why invading Cuba would be such a disaster, look no further than Venezuela. (02:35–02:47)
