Cuba warns of US aggression, citing economic pressure and intervention tactics

Cuba's leadership is openly acknowledging the risk of a US military invasion, viewing it as a potential outcome of escalating economic pressure. The government asserts that attempts to destabilize the island through economic strangulation, aiming to create chaos as a pretext for intervention, have been thwarted by the resilience of the Cuban people. This resilience, the article suggests, contrasts with situations in Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where similar tactics allegedly led to foreign intervention.

“

the logic of aggression is not new: to economically strangle a people until hunger becomes rage, rage becomes chaos, and chaos becomes the perfect alibi for a 'humanitarian' intervention, camouflaged as 'responsibility to protect'; it is the same score they played in Libya, Syria, Iraq, or Afghanistan.

The article details a strategy of "economic warfare" updated with algorithms, designed to inflict extreme suffering and compel submission without firing a shot. This includes hindering access to medicine and fuel, which the government argues are deliberate actions to force a regime change. The Cuban leadership, it states, is unwilling to cede control to external interests and is transparent about these perceived threats.

“

the evil of the American calculation lies in that it needs extreme suffering as raw material.

President Miguel Díaz-Canel has explicitly stated that ruling out a US military attack would be irresponsible. This warning is presented not as science fiction, but as a high-level political diagnosis based on understanding an adversary that has consistently sought to dismantle the Cuban revolutionary project. The article frames the explanation of this potential aggression as a means of preparation, emphasizing that Cuba has experienced foreign interventions before.

“

the maximum Cuban leadership is not unaware of that risk, and the fact that it is denounced without mincing words shows that there is no disposition to hand over the key of the country to those who still dream of turning it into a casino and a brothel.

The narrative suggests that the US is constructing pretexts for aggression, potentially framing Cuba as a threat or a base for destabilizing forces. This, the article implies, could create the emotional climate necessary to justify military action, a tactic allegedly employed in past US interventions in the region. The government's willingness to discuss this scenario openly is presented as a sign of its resolve.

“

it would be a colossal irresponsibility to look the other way.
