This video, presented by Benny Johnson, discusses a series of claims regarding the political situation in Cuba as of May 2026. The host posits that the country is undergoing a regime collapse driven by economic crises, including severe fuel shortages and power blackouts, and asserts that the influence of Russia in the region is fading.
Key themes and claims discussed in the video include:
Geopolitical Shifts: The host suggests a "pragmatic trade" is occurring where the U.S. is solidifying its influence in its own hemisphere while acknowledging spheres of influence elsewhere, such as China and Russia. This is framed within the context of recent, allegedly high-level meetings between the CIA and Cuban officials (0:15 - 1:45).
Indictment of Raul Castro: The video mentions plans for the U.S. to federally indict Raul Castro, which the host argues is a symbolic move to demonstrate that the current leadership no longer holds absolute control (2:35 - 3:42).
Protests and Unrest: The host highlights reports and footage of civil unrest, specifically referencing incidents where Communist Party of Cuba headquarters were allegedly set on fire by protesters in Havana and other locations, characterizing these as signs of a revolution against the regime (3:50 - 6:54).
Future Predictions: The host concludes by predicting a "complete and total toppling" of the current Cuban government by the end of the year, framed as part of a larger, ongoing shift in international relations (7:05 - 8:05).

BREAKING🚨: The headquarters of the Communist Party of Cuba is on fire in La Lisa, Havana 🇨🇺🔥🔥
Send lots of rope, put any lampposts on that island to good use.
“Send lots of rope, put any lampposts on that island to good use.”
given the fuel and electricity shortage, they sure ain’t puttin out any light ...
Good news! Viva la Revolution!
This is great. Now we need to do everything we can to show them that they have a future there and don’t all need to come here.
Could be like what happened in Romania, where a Party official is making their move to be in charge of the country.
Lovely. Standby for a million Afro-Cuban refugees and a 2 trillion dollar “rebuild Cuba” project.
Kushner and the billionaires will feast.
But yay...
Perhaps President Marco Rubio can be “El Presidente de Cuba” after his two terms as President of the United States.
I hope we at least get some cool beach destinations about 5 years down the road though. But God forbid a wave of Cube immigration into America. Florida and Rubio will be clamoring for it.
I hope they can become free, but we don’t need more 3rd world immigration.
Karen Bass hardest hit.
Nope, that would be DesertRino
I don’t know much Spanish language, but libertad
Cubans yearn for democracy, Some will want to flood our shores. But if Rubio is smart, and he is, he’ll work somthing out to provide jobs in Cuba. It’s alreay better than it was when I spent a week there decades ago. Gas stations!!
Grok:
The post reports an urgent fire at the Communist Party of Cuba headquarters in La Lisa, Havana, sharing shaky nighttime video of flames visible from nearby residences in the 5 Palmas area.
Cuban state media and officials rapidly denied any fire at the PCC site, posting “verified” infographics showing the intact building and urging reliance on official sources.
The viral claim amid Cuba's economic crisis and protests reflects deep public distrust in the regime and widespread anti-communist sentiment among exiles and locals.
Fake news, apparently
GFY.... decades of experience tells me we get a celebration for a week or so, THEN we get saddled with the bill for rebuilding the utterly failed infrastructure of Cuba. Then we get a gigantic wave of immigration that we will pay for. Kushner, Ellison and the Tech billionaires will utterly feast and land, oil and agriculture deals. Miriam Adelson will probably open another Casino.
And Trump will run around calling it a “deal”.
