Watch "Trump's New National Security Strategy Turns the US into Tony Soprano" here:
The United States may be preparing for some kind of action against Cuba — and no, that was not on my 2026 bingo card either.
In this video, I break down why the indictment of Raul Castro and Marco Rubio’s message to the Cuban people might be connected, how the “Wet Foot, Dry Foot” era shaped U.S.-Cuba relations, and why the shootdown of civilian aircraft in the 1990s still matters today.
We’ll also talk about:
Cuba’s military-run economy through GAESA
Why the regime may be more vulnerable than people think
The possibility of a “Maduro-style” snatch-and-grab operation
China’s SIGINT presence in Cuba
And why modern American foreign policy increasingly looks less like Jefferson and more like Tony Soprano.
Links, sources, and the Raul Castro indictment PDF are available on my Substack.
