Sen. Rick Scott says US military action unlikely needed in Cuba but necessary in Iran
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) stated on NewsNation's "The Hill" that he does not believe the US will need to use military force to remove the Castro regime from power because the Cuban people will rise up against it. Scott also said that military action will be necessary with Iran, and suggested the regime could collapse due to lack of resources.
