What is this bs you are selling? That we should invade another small country that has done no harm to us, and list off the great resources we could steal from them? And that the Cuban people would welcome an American invasion of their sovereign nation

So it's really just about vengeance, money & esteem. Communism and liberation is just the sheep's clothing. This is an ambitious prediction. Let's see how the summer unfolds.

Leave Cuba alone! God , America doesn't want to 'save' anybody. Do you not realize that.

They want us to fight each other- communism, capitalism, the islamists, the trans, and on and on. They don't want us coming together and 'Looking up' and seeing the real problem. Divide and conquer. The parasites are every where. Don't fall for this.

I'm sure the rest of the article is great, but I stopped reading at the "Gulf of America." Nope, it's the Gulf of Mexico. So, nope.

I think you are spot on about this, Jon. While I cringe at the thought of another war, and I voted for Trump because he would get us out of wars, for reasons you describe this goal makes total sense AND Trump could still claim this is an America first objective. It is very obvious to me that this administration has set his sights on Cuba. Wouldn’t you agree that this has been a very violent and aggressive administration so far? I really didn’t expect it. I would like to believe that our 21 century American culture has outgrown such barbaric behavior that is presently on display. For example, the tactics used so far with Iran to support Israel’s goals, and even the on going random events of blowing up boats because they might be smuggling drugs are disgraceful bully tactics that are shameful and make our nation seem blood thirsty and untrustworthy in my opinion. That image is going to be hard to fix when we aren’t the king of the hill anymore and we are going to pay dearly for it in the future.

I doubt whether Cubans will welcome US boots on the ground. Being kind to average Americans doesn't really mean they'll tolerate an invasion.

You are probably right that the trump regime wants to kill and oppress more people that they despise.

Funny how he is actually talking about the USA and capitalism: “an ideology of mass theft, mass control, mass lies, and mass murder.”

Also when he utters the following bs:

“the exact opposite of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”

There are many people in the USA that are not happy at all (nor free, cause they have to play according the rules of society like paying tax)

The result of too many Mission Impossible episodes in childhood!!! Rape and pillage are NOT US values but ARE its actions and everyone everywhere can see. The problem isn't communism or imperialism but totalitarianism. Its a kid in the playground telling all the other kids what and how to play, and rumaging through their lunchboxes to steal the goodies THEIR mothers gave THEM! And NOT looking in his OWN lunchbox and playing with HIS friends (and revealing his opinion of them as LOSERS by claiming HE can make them great AGAIN when they ALREADY are simply because they have been given a precious LIFE for LOVING like every other kid except in his warped mind that measures wealth and power in a sick way).

Deep breath....Another interesting substack on Cuba by alimcforever.... I personally wonder why Lenin, Boris and Ivan are such popular names in AMERICA but not Donal', Ronal', Joe, George or Jimmi.

The capitalist (and therefore eventually Imperialist) countries have ALWAYS gone to a great length to prevent the young socialist/communist countries from developing their economy - including State Coups, Terrorism and Embargo.

***

So, ask yourself - If the Capitalists are so sure that Socialism/Communism doesn't work and always fails, why do they spend so much effort and resources trying to destroy them?

Don't forget the "domino theory" used by Eisenhower/Kissinger admin to justify the Imperialist War in Vietnam. It gives you an idea of how much the Capitalist Oligarchy is afraid that even ONE successful Socialist/Communist country emergence can set a dangerous example for others.

Remember: Every failure of a socialist nation is blamed on it being socialist; but NO failure of a capitalist nation is ever blamed on it being capitalist.

"Every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation, and overthrow of government."

- Lester Mallory, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, 1960

The writer isn't interested in integrity. It peonwar propaganda.

According to 3 leading AIs the figures they evidence are.

"I checked for independent confirmation of the 64% oppose / 15% support / 21% unsure claim. The result is:

The exact 64/15/21 figures appear to come from a single CEPR-sponsored YouGov poll, not multiple independent polls.

However, there are other YouGov polls that broadly support the direction of the finding (Americans generally oppose direct US military action against Cuba), though the wording and numbers differ:

Poll Question Result

CEPR-sponsored YouGov (May 2026) "US going to war against Cuba" 64% oppose, 15% support, 21% unsure

YouGov (March 2026) US using military force to attack Cuba 61% oppose, 13% support

YouGov (March 2026) US using military force to overthrow Cuban government 57% oppose, 18% support

Economist/YouGov (March 2026) US military force to overthrow Cuban government 55% oppose, 22% support

Assessment

The exact 64/15/21 number: likely accurate as a report of that specific YouGov survey, but not independently replicated.

The broader conclusion ("Americans oppose a US war with Cuba") is supported by separate YouGov polling. Different question wording still produces a clear majority against direct military action.

Caveat: These are mostly YouGov surveys, so they are not independent pollsters. A stronger confirmation would require polls from firms such as Pew, Gallup, Ipsos, Reuters/Ipsos, AP-NORC, Quinnipiac, etc., asking similar Cuba-war questions.

A reasonable confidence estimate:

Claim that a majority of Americans oppose a US war with Cuba: ~85–90% confidence.

Claim that the exact national split is 64/15/21: ~70–80% confidence (because it rests on one sponsored poll).

Claim that there is a hidden majority eager for military action: little evidence from available polling.

The strongest conclusion is therefore: **the headline number should be treated as one poll's result, but the overall anti-war trend appears consistent across available YouGov data.**
