In diplomatic conduct, reciprocity is the gold standard of conduct. Should the US have conclusive or even persuasive evidence, the US should find its own methods to retaliate at a time of its own choosing.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's either China Russia north Korea or Iran. China and Russia makes most sense @ Cuba. And, there was another incident like that -in- China. Would Russians go that far too attack Americans in China? Maybe. But I'm not ruling out China in all this. Could be both, who knows. The tactics sounds Russian, the reach and money (payoffs to Cubans) might be Chinese. And on Chinese hometurf I would be surprised if it was just Russians and Chinese didn't know about it.
Also. These sound attacks may very well be in retaliation towards American policies or own actions. You never know what games everyone at that level is playing
We could retaliate by playing non stop the music of Bill Joel
