Kristen Welker: "I want to start with President Trump because President Trump's threats to take over Cuba come as the United States has removed President Maduro from power, has invaded Iran and killed its Supreme Leader. Do you fear you could be killed or arrested by the United States?"
Miguel Díaz-Canel:
"That is a very interesting question.
Those of us who have leadership positions in the revolution have a strong commitment to our revolution and to our heroic people. In this connection, our responsibility entails the conviction and the commitment that we are willing to give our lives for the revolution and the cause we defend.
For me, that is not a matter of concern.
If the time comes, I don't think there would be any justification for the United States to launch a military aggression against Cuba or for the U.S. to undertake a surgical operation or the kidnapping of a president.
If that happens, there will be fighting and it 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.'"
Kristen Welker:
"What you're saying is very powerful.
Are you afraid for yourself, for your family, or are you prepared to, as you say, make the ultimate sacrifice if you are attacked?"
Miguel Díaz-Canel:
"I have no fear. I am willing to give my life for the revolution. Of course, I would -- I wouldn't like that to be the attitude of the U.S. Government."
What’s next, glorifying jihad?
Paraphrasing Mike Tyson, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face, this Cuban Dictator is full of bravado, if Delta Force or Seal Team Six flew into Havana and snatched him up like Maduro I wonder how tough he would sound then.
Miguel Díaz-Canel is just a puppet.
He is not in control.
Kristen Welker is desperate for ratings. It’s an ugly revelation
2918 : () In fact, what’s happening as Cuban “President” (dictator) Raul Castro “steps down” in favor of Cuban “President” (puppet) Miguel Diaz-Canel is about what happened when Korean “President” Kim Jon-il stepped down in favor of his son Kim Jon-un—except that Korea’s Kim Jon- Il actually kicked the bucket before his son fully took over the reins of the mass-murdering, terror-sponsoring, nuke-rattling regime.
In fact, much of the vital day to day functions of the Stalinist regime will remain in the hands of Raul Castro’s son Alejandro Castro-Espin, a KGB-trained colonel in Cuba’s secret police and a fanatical Stalinist. Alejandro denounces to the U.S. as “an Empire of Terror!” and shrieks that “Cuba will never return to capitalism!”
As proof of Alejandro’s (secret) eminence and importance within the Stalinist regime, he was the person actually in charge of the “negotiations with” (demands upon) the Obama administration back in 2014. Nothing was more vital for the Castro-Family-Crime-Syndicate than securing and growing that multi-billion $dollar lifeline from the U.S. So naturally fanatical Stalinist and secret policeman Alejandro was put in charge of securing and protecting this flow through the Stalinist regime’s jugular.
—— Cuba’s “Transition” is Fake News with Bells On

Cuba’s dictator is willing to die for the revolution. And Trump will give him the golden opportunity to do just that.
No, they have already done that many times over.
When it’s really over, he’ll be on the first plane out to wherever he would be welcome.
I’m sure the people of Cuba are behind this guy 100%, “viva la revolucion” NOT!
Cuba is a very small place. If we decide to dial this commies number, he will be a big hole in the ground.
We know you have to say that but this is our hemisphere and we'll help you give it if you don't get with the program.
When does a revolution become the status quo? Is it really a revolution when you replace one dictator with another?
EC
What does “very powerful” even mean?
Sounds cool to a moronic leftist?
In the words of a FRiend; she is a ball licking socialist.
What’s his connection to the Castro family?
They already do.
All of these dictators would never die for their people given the choice.
All of them have off shore bank accounts with millions of their stolen dollars.
They will flee their impoverished nations as soon as they are sure that the gig is up.
It's all in the dictator's play book. And believe me they have that page dogeared with their Swiss Bank Account number written in the margin.
How long is the Cuban revolution going to take? How will we know when it’s over?
