Related: About this forumThe Real Reason Cuba is Facing Complete collapse - The Global Gambit - Pyotr Kurzin
What the United States just did in Venezuela didnt stop in Caracas.
It may now be pushing Cuba toward its most dangerous moment in decades.
Following Operation Absolute Resolve, the geopolitical aftershocks are ripping through the Caribbean. Cubaalready on the brinkis suddenly exposed, isolated, and dangerously dependent on events it can no longer control.
In this video, we break down why the collapse or neutralization of Venezuela is an existential threat to Cuba. From oil dependency and economic freefall to the hidden role of Cuban intelligence in propping up Maduros regime, this isnt just about sanctions or pressureits about whether the Cuban system can survive at all.
Under the Trump administration, Washington appears increasingly willing to treat Cuba not as a frozen relic of the Cold War, but as a strategic liability. The uncomfortable question is no longer if Cuba feels the consequencesbut what happens the morning after if the regime starts to crack.
Mass emigration, humanitarian collapse, and regional instability are no longer abstract risks. They are rapidly becoming plausible outcomes.
And yet, there is no clear plan for what replaces the system if pressure succeeds.

that Trump would love to also make IT a state.......and make an off-shore oasis for the UBER RICH, so as not to endanger them by staying on the main land if a Civil War Breaks out.......
And don't even think about all the "off-shore" money laundering possibilities...........
