[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]
At the UN Security Council, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodriguez called on the international community to act to prevent the “human catastrophe” that could result from the ongoing energy blockade and potential U.S. military aggression.
Thousands of Cubans would die defending their homeland,” he said. “And young U.S. citizens would also perish, without a cause or ideal worth fighting for dragged into violence by an imperialist, neofascist policy of domination, plunder and conquest.”
My two cents:
It’s unlikely Cuba is able to fend off an American bombing campaign / possible invasion, given the US wasn’t ruled by a maniac surrounded by yes-men lacking competence. However it is also unlikely that a) this US admin is able to pull off a well planned and organized intervention/invasion, Mango Mussolini is first of all to impatient b) the US would be able to win anything in this conflict as the sure as hell won’t be able to install a pro-US regime let alone govern the island themselves… this is also the reason nobody since Kennedy tried it.
Most probable outcome would be Israelian playbook the US is trying to experiment with in Iran: Bomb necessary infrastructure to ruins and let civilians suffer in order to weaken the nation you’re attacking and claim victory even though you achieved nothing besides willingly breaking international law.
