WASHINGTON — Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel revealed that his island nation is bracing for an attack from the US and declared that he is willing to die resisting President Trump.
Since last December, the US has imposed a blockade around Venezuela as part of its Operation Southern Spear effort, and used that to cut off oil supplies to Cuba, which has since plunged further into an energy crisis.
“I don’t think there would be any justification for the United States to launch a military aggression against Cuba, or for the US to undertake a surgical operation or the kidnapping of a president,” Díaz-Canel told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, per a translation.
“If that happens, there will be fighting, and there will be a struggle, and we will defend ourselves, and if we need to die, we’ll die, because as our national anthem says, ‘dying for the homeland is to live.’”
The Trump administration has privately signaled to Cuba’s communist government that Díaz-Canel must go, the New York Times reported.
Díaz-Canel, the first pol outside the Castro family to lead the island nation since the Cuban Revolution, has refused to step aside.
“I have no fear. I am willing to give my life for the revolution,” he claimed. “I wouldn’t like that to be the attitude of the US government.”
Cuba has endured an increase in blackouts in recent weeks as concerns flare that its food supplies are running dangerously low. Experts have noted that many of those issues predated the blockade, but have acknowledged that it has gotten worse since the US cut off crude exports to Cuba.

Agree- they are already falling apart...
Díaz-Canel Is an empty wiener shooting blanks.
Truth is, he’s scared shitless because the people hate his dictatorial guts.
Oh Please.
That guy is the Gavin Newsom of Kooba.
All hair, no brains.
He can be bought cheap. He’s just negotiating.
Iran,
Cuber and Then
ICE LAND !!!
.
Yes We Can!
Amazing how some of these so called “leaders” talk like the poor azz people in their countries all wanna die to keep them in power.
They probably really think “you do you preezy”.
Lord Kril: Damage report!
Kodan Officer: Guidance system out. Auxiliary navigation out.
Lord Kril: Divert! DIVERT!
Kodan Officer: She won’t answer the helm! We’re locked into the moon’s gravitational pull. What do we do?
[Kril’s eyepiece swings into place]
Lord Kril: We die.

It is amazing to me that people are willing to die for the failed every time communism
Naughty, naughty. Someone is going to get a missile through his bedroom window.
You mean like Puerto Rico? It will be a another blue colored drain.
**With that said, the same type of a campaign waged against Iran could be employed against Cuba with equal success.**
No way It’ll happen. Let the country wither on the vine. Reminds me of a joke. The sadist(in this case Trump) and the masochist(Cuba) bump into each other on the street. The masochist falls on his back in joyful pain and says: “oh beat me, kick me., just hurt me!”
The sadist stands over the masochist, stares down at him, smiles and then says ‘no’.
Who wins Nov 2026 all depends on turnout. So far in 2025 and 2026 the Dems turnout their voters. The Republicans/MAGA do not turnout their voters. That will have to change for R to win in Nov 2026.
Here in GA in Jan-April 2026 there are many primary candidates on both R & D side. The R throw dirt at each other on TV. The D are campaigning door-to-door and in social media. The only social media I get are from a candidate in SC. I have emailed the 4 R candidates for governor, and some others. None has responded, nor put me on a mailing list, not even asked me for money (I have none). The Georgia Record, VOR BKP never mention a ground game.
In what way is Cuba a threat to us?
I must be missing something.
If Trump liberates Cuba, hundreds of thousands of those in Miami will move back to Cuba.
It will become a capitalist paradise once again. I can’t wait to go on vacation there. My boat is fueled and ready to make the crossing!
Primaries. We need to know which rinos are feeling the heat. Cornyn hopefully for sure. Then there’s Cassidy. Any others?
Don’t talk, die!
Agreed.
General Augusto Pinochet had the right idea for dealing with commie scum.
A Havana with all the casinos back could make Vegas look like Peoria.
