The U.S. is manufacturing a crisis to justify military aggression against Cuba, using dubious drone allegations and economic strangulation to push a sovereign nation to the brink. Cutting off oil supplies has left Cubans with barely an hour of electricity a day, which is a collective punishment against a civilian populace. Any military action against Cuba would trigger a bloodbath with consequences that would destabilize the entire Caribbean region.
Cuba's collapsing economy and crumbling infrastructure are the direct result of a corrupt regime that has failed its people for decades. The U.S. is right to squeeze the Castro-era government out of power — sanctions on GAESA and the oil cutoff are legitimate tools to force a broken, unfixable system to reform or step aside. Raul Castro's potential indictment for ordering the 1996 shootdown of civilian aircraft is long overdue justice, and Cuba poses a military threat to U.S. interests.
