The US is threatening to act on Cuba, with President Donald Trump saying he will be the one to finally act on the island. The move is seen as a repeat of the Venezuelan playbook, where 32 Cuban soldiers lost their lives. The US has indicted Cuba's former president Raúl Castro on murder charges, deployed a carrier strike group to the Caribbean, and issued explicit threats of military intervention.
Cuba is on the brink of a US-led regime change operation, with President Donald Trump threatening to act on the island. The move is seen as a repeat of the Venezuela n playbook, where 32 Cuba n soldiers lost their lives.
The US has indicted Cuba's former president Raúl Castro on murder charges, deployed a carrier strike group to the Caribbean, and issued explicit threats of military intervention. The US under Trump is following a ruthless foreign policy where the rules-based order has been buried. Just like Venezuela and Iran, the US believes it has the right to subdue Cuba by continuing the momentum it has built, as Cuba has always been a symbol of resistance to American interests.
The move speaks directly to Trump's voter base in Florida, which has a large and politically powerful Cuban-American population. The US should be wary of its ambitions and remember that Cuba is not Venezuela. While it may not possess the ability to retaliate like Iran or block strategic choke points, the Cuban nation has a fighting spirit that should not be underestimated. Cuba's defense doctrine envisions the entire civilian population mobilized for resistance; every Cuban citizen receives military training.
The country's official motto says it all: Homeland or death, we will prevail. At the same time, Trump's ratings have fallen considerably due to the interventionism in Venezuela and Iran. Further adventurism is only going to dent them further, particularly if an attack on Cuba triggers a refugee crisis on Florida's doorstep.
If Rubio is genuinely concerned about the Cuban people, lifting the fuel blockade would be a meaningful first step, one that would ease humanitarian suffering and open space for de-escalation. Another US-driven regime change in the hemisphere would not liberate Cubans. It would likely deepen instability across the Caribbean and Latin America at a moment when the region can least afford it.
The US should also be reminded that it is not for the US to deliver freedom to the Cuban people, just as it is not for the US to deliver freedom to the people of Venezuela or Iran. Changing regimes under the guise of freedom and democracy is the old playbook of empire. It has nothing to do with the interests of ordinary people and everything to do with American vested interests.
The Cuban socialist regime may have a thousand flaws, just like the regimes in Venezuela or Iran. But that does not give any state the right to intervene and impose regime change. Prolonged sanctions and economic pressure are deepening this crisis while doing little to produce meaningful political change.
