Our enemies are closer than you’d think. And they are getting ready for something big.
Because Cuba admitted it’s preparing for war with America with one shock announcement.
Trump’s Bold Stance on Cuba Sparks Response
In a recent interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío addressed growing tensions following President Donald Trump’s assertive comments about the future of the island nation.
Trump, speaking to Fox News’ Peter Doocy, expressed confidence in his ability to shape Cuba’s destiny, stating: “I do believe I’ll be having the honor of taking Cuba… That’s a big honor.” He added, “Taking Cuba in some form. Yeah. Taking Cuba, I mean, whether I free it, take it, I think I could do anything I want with it, to tell you the truth.”
This came amid reports of Cuba’s severe economic struggles, including widespread blackouts and fuel shortages, which many attribute to strengthened U.S. pressure under Trump’s leadership—efforts aimed at weakening the long-standing communist regime and potentially opening the door to greater freedom for the Cuban people.
Cuba Signals Defensive Posture Amid U.S. Leverage
The Cuban official emphasized readiness without seeking confrontation: “Our military is always prepared and, in fact it is preparing these days for the possibility of military aggression.”
He continued, “We would be naive, looking at what’s happening around the world, if we did not do that. But we truly hope that it doesn’t occur… and we find no justification for it whatsoever.”
When asked for details on preparations, Fernández de Cossío noted that Cuba has “historically been ready to mobilize” as a nation but offered no further specifics.
He stressed Cuba’s peaceful intentions: “We truly hope that there’s no military action and, frankly, we see no reason – we see no justification for military action against Cuba. Cuba is a peaceful country. We’re not an enemy of the United States, we don’t pose any threat to the United States. In fact, we said it openly, we would like to have a friendly and respectful relationship with the United States…”
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel echoed a defiant tone on X: “Any external aggressor will clash with an impregnable resistance.”
America’s Opportunity to Promote Stability and Freedom
Trump’s remarks reflect a broader strategy of maximum pressure that has already contributed to Cuba’s weakened state—no money, no oil, and mounting internal challenges—positioning the U.S. to potentially bring about positive change just 90 miles from Florida.
While the Cuban regime frames its military steps as defensive, experts and former officials suggest this could accelerate the path toward liberating the Cuban people from decades of authoritarian rule, restoring prosperity and closer ties with a strong, sovereign America.
The exchange highlights how decisive U.S. leadership under Trump is forcing the regime to confront realities, raising hopes that freedom and democracy could soon prevail in the region rather than prolonged communist control.
