expedientes.ec

Former U.S. National Security Adviser General Mike Flynn caused an international stir by stating on social media that “Cuba is next ,” after expressing his support for Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado and the Venezuelan people.

The message, published on the X platform with the phrase “ You’re next ,” was interpreted by analysts as a nod to a possible political change on the island , following recent calls for freedom in several countries in the Caribbean and Latin America.

Flynn, one of Donald Trump’s closest former officials , has maintained a critical stance toward authoritarian regimes in the region and has reiterated his support for movements seeking to restore democracy in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

The post generated mixed reactions: while some users celebrated the message as a show of solidarity with oppressed peoples, others considered it a political provocation. The Cuban government has not yet issued an official statement .

        I think at least these places: independent Hawaii, independent Alaska, independent Puerto Rico, independent Guam and Marianas, independent Virgin Islands, independent California (with Nevada), independent Navajo Nation (with adjoining native territories), independent Cascadia, independent Utah, independent Lakotah, independent Louisiana, independent Florida

    Yes, let’s start wars with multiple countries while we are failing to even pay our own troops, truly a big brain move.

      Reminds me how in 1457 during 13-Year War, Czech mercenaries garrisoning Teutonic capital of Marienburg were not paid by Order for months. As result Poles crowdfunded payment to Chechs and literally bought Teutonic capital from them.

      Looking at this from the bright side, workers worldwide are in a better positions and are way more connected than before to fight back the fascists/imperialists.

      Cultivating solidarity among the oppressed is what keeps the imperialist beast from enacting their worst blood thirsty fantasies. From my side, I can confidently say that Marco Rubio and their Miami Fascists will be defeated in Latin America but our western comrades have to defeat them at home with protests and agitation.

      We will win.

      To be fair, the US forces put into Bay of Pigs was tiny and far from full scale commitment. That said, attacking Cuba now in the age of drone warfare could open a massive can of worms for the US if Cuba becomes a Yemen and plucks at US commercial ships, oil rigs and coastal assets in the gulf.

        Not to forget that the implicit threat with further military shit into Cuba was the USSR firing a nuke at the US.

        Thats not to say that modern Cuba stands alone, I can see countries like Angola and modern day Russia/China providing direct military aid as well as alligned southern and central american countries if it ever escelated this far.
