    The US government is manufacturing a pretext to attack Cuba, affirmed Hal Klepak, professor emeritus of #LatinAmerican and other strategic studies in military history at the Royal Military College of Canada.

    “The issue of Cuba being a threat can only be seen as a pretext to prepare #US opinion, or at the very least, the MAGA base, for accepting an intervention”, said Klepak. “The idea that the Cubans would choose this moment to attack the US is an absurd assertion.”

    According to Klepak, Cuba’s #military has a defensive posture and would not attack the US.

    [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    BotB recently held a screening of two documentaries on Cuban #medical missions. One is focused on #Cuban #doctors deployed to #Calabria, #Italy, and another follows a brigade of #African students from #ELAM (Cuba's #LatinAmerican School of #Medicine), who traveled to #GuineaBissau to provide medical care based on the training they received on the island.

    Some of the ELAM students attended the screening and were given a standing ovation.

    One audience member said: "Thank you for being heroes, not just of Cuba, but of the entire world."

  8. Video - Thousands March in Havana After US Indictment of Raúl Castro

    Duration - 2:17

    [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Thousands of Cubans gathered at #Havana’s José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune on Friday after the US Department of Justice indicted #Cuba’s former President #RaúlCastro over the 1996 shoot-down of two small planes operated by pilots of the #Miami-based group #BrothersToTheRescue.

    “We had the right to defend ourselves,” said Adalgisa Durán Vargas, referring to repeated warnings Cuba made to the #US about repeated provocative incursions into Cuban airspace made by Brothers to the Rescue to provoke a confrontation with the Cuban government.

    At the rally, speakers defended Raúl Castro’s historic role in the Cuban Revolution and questioned the legitimacy of the US accusations nearly three decades after the fact.

  14. Video - Rubio Says There’s No Oil Blockade on Cuba. Cubans Disagree

    #US Secretary of State #MarcoRubio posted a video on May 20 addressed directly to the #Cuban people, claiming the blackouts have nothing to do with the US #OilBlockade.

    We took to the streets to #Havana to see what people thought of his speech. Most hadn’t seen it.

    “It’s just that I despise Marco Rubio so much that it’s not even worth listening to anything he says,” said Lucía Miret, 76, a retired teacher.

    Most of those who saw it, rejected Rubio’s claim.

    “It’s no secret to anyone that the blockade exists,” said Daimara Pérez, a doctor. “If the blockade didn’t exist then they should let the ships in.”

    The Justice Department is set to indict former Cuban President #RaúlCastro today over the 1996 shoot-down of two #BrothersToTheRescue planes — a case that has been a politically charged flashpoint in US-Cuba relations for nearly three decades.

    So far, the coverage by corporate media outlets has left out critical context: repeated provocations and incursions, numerous warnings by Cuban authorities, years of violent attacks against Cuba originating from South Florida and the #US government’s refusal to restrain an extremist group openly seeking confrontation.

    FAA Emails Foresaw “Worst Case Scenario”
    “One of these days the Cubans will shoot down one of these planes”

    from #NationalSecurityArchive
    May 19, 2026

    FAA emails, memos, and communications recorded concerns among high-level Clinton administration officials that repeated penetrations of Cuban airspace would eventually lead to a crisis if #Cuba acted to protect its territorial integrity from provocative BTTR incursions. “A major fear is the possible downing of a BTTR aircraft by land-based gunfire,” a summary of an August 1995 meeting with White House officials stated.

    The documents offer a detailed historical context in which the aerial violence against the civilian aircraft occurred.

    FAA emails, memos, and communications recorded concerns among high-level Clinton administration officials that repeated penetrations of Cuban airspace would eventually lead to a crisis if #Cuba acted to protect its territorial integrity from provocative BTTR incursions. “A major fear is the possible downing of a BTTR aircraft by land-based gunfire,” a summary of an August 1995 meeting with White House officials stated.

    The documents offer a detailed historical context in which the aerial violence against the civilian aircraft occurred.

  31. Yes, Trump Might Really Attack Cuba
    The shift comes as officials struggle to convince the Cuban regime to make major economic and political changes.

    [horrible, but informative article]

    The Trump administration has been dancing around the question of whether it will carry out military strikes against #Cuba. I am told it is increasingly willing to take such a step.

    That’s a significant escalation from a few months ago, when officials were primarily focused on using economic and diplomatic pressure to squeeze the communist regime in Havana.

    A #US official and a person familiar with the administration’s discussions on Cuba told me that #Trump and his aides have grown frustrated that the US pressure campaign [...] has not led Cuba’s leaders to agree to significant economic and political reforms. So they’re taking the military option more seriously than previously.

    #Cuba’s top diplomat in the United States on Friday underscored the inviolability of her country’s sovereignty amid tenuous negotiations with the #Trump administration and mounting fears that the #US is planning to criminally indict a former Cuban president and possibly invade the island to abduct him..

    “We have reorganized the whole country, the healthcare system, the education system, the transportation system, to keep the basic services running,” Torres Rivera told #TheHill. “But it doesn’t mean that they are running normally. They are running under huge stress.”
