I’ll believe it when I see it. Those Cuban people won’t lift a finger to topple that communist regime. It’s too easy to come to Florida on a raft to bother with a nasty revolution.

Folks should take a long, hard look at what's happening, and why, down in Cuba. It's too late but then they'll get a good look at what's possibly their future, to a lesser extent or otherwise.

They can't because of allergies. Their parents raised them in a sterile environment therefore their immune systems can't handle grass (or peanut products).

Nobody will tell you they like Trump when you didn’t make it two words into the conversation without a TDS meltdown.

Well it can get you killed in a communist country so it does take a wee bit of courage.

: TD - Trump taking out CRINK nodes
quote:
No military buildup preceded the Cuba operation. No special forces were deployed. No shots were fired on Cuban soil. Executive Order 14380, signed January 29, 2026, declared a national emergency regarding Cuba and authorized tariffs on any country supplying the island with petroleum.
The order followed Operation Absolute Resolve by twenty-six days. Venezuela had been supplying approximately 35,000 barrels per day to Cuba, representing more than half of the island’s total oil requirements under a longstanding barter arrangement. That supply line vanished the morning Maduro was extracted from Caracas.
Mexico, which had become Cuba’s secondary petroleum supplier, halted its own shipments under U.S. tariff pressure shortly after.
The New York Times described the result accurately: the United States’ first effective blockade of Cuba since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, achieved without a single naval vessel enforcing it.
The human record of what followed is documented and specific. On March 4, 2026, at approximately 12:41 in the afternoon, Cuba’s national electrical grid suffered a complete and sudden disconnection. Two thirds of the country went dark simultaneously from Pinar del Rio to Camaguey, including Havana. The grid had been generating only 1,180 megawatts against a national demand of 2,250 megawatts before the additional plant failure. Two power plants had gone offline for lack of petroleum. Only 40 percent of waste disposal trucks possessed enough fuel to operate, leaving refuse piling in Havana’s streets. Jet fuel became unavailable at nine airports. Hospitals required families to bring their own medical supplies.
The average state salary of 6,500 Cuban pesos per month amounts to less than $13 at the informal exchange rate. A carton of thirty eggs costs over 3,000 pesos. Maria Elena Sabina, a Havana resident, told reporters: “There’s no electricity here, there’s no power here, there’s no gas here. Change is needed, but quickly.” United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres issued a warning in February that Cuba’s humanitarian situation will worsen if its oil needs go unmet. Trump told CNN on Friday that Cuba is going to fall pretty soon. Senator Marco Rubio told reporters: “If I lived in Havana and I was in the government I would be concerned, at least a little bit.” Senator Lindsey Graham was direct: “Cuba is next. This communist dictatorship in Cuba, their days are numbered.”
The Cuba approach is a documented doctrine distinct from every previous American attempt to dislodge the Castro successor regime. The Bay of Pigs failed in 1961 because the instrument was wrong for the target. Six decades of embargo produced economic pressure without collapse because Venezuela’s subsidized oil sustained the regime through every cycle of American sanctions.
Remove Venezuela’s oil supply through a thirty-minute ground assault in Caracas and the entire Cuban state architecture begins failing within weeks.
No invasion required.
No American casualties.
No congressional authorization for the use of military force.
Just the strategic application of energy denial to a target whose single critical vulnerability had always been petroleum dependency.
Cuba is falling without a single shot fired on Cuban soil. That is not coincidence. It is the doctrine working exactly as designed.

Does US Steel even exist any longer? Last I heard about it was that Japan was purchasing.

The key would be the neighborhood watch guy not ratting out the dissenters on the block.
They have a system kind of like an HOA/Karen on each block who reports to an governmental official/police regaring which neighbor, say, was seen fishing and brought home more food than their monthly governmental distribument of meat/rice/cheese/bread/etc. Hopefully, he's fed up with the BS, too, and won't try to cowardly save his skin & protect his favorable status by naming names on the block who revolted.

I was stationed at GTMO in 1994 when I learned the average Cuban hooker makes 10x what a fully trained doctor makes. I had the pleasure of working sick call with their docs and nurses at sick call in the refugee camps. Top notch, The Cubans, like most people, will take only so much before the guy who normally wouldn't, will. Just a matter of time. History is your guide and full of examples,
