Cuba’s blood-soaked communist dictator Miguel Díaz-Canel lashed out Monday, warning that any U.S. military action against his crumbling island prison would unleash a “bloodbath with incalculable consequences.”
The thug-in-chief, who has spent years crushing dissent, jailing protesters, and turning Cuba into a starving socialist dumpster fire, took to X to spew his hollow threats after explosive reports revealed his regime has been quietly amassing over 300 military drones from Russia and Iran.
Just days ago, reports emerged that the Trump administration was weighing aggressive options amid growing national security concerns surrounding Cuba, while CIA Director John Ratcliffe reportedly warned Havana that it could no longer function as a “safe haven for adversaries.”
According to classified intelligence cited by Axios, Cuban officials have acquired more than 300 military drones of varying capability since 2023 and have held discussions about how such systems could be used in the event of hostilities with Washington.
Potential targets discussed include the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, American military vessels, and possibly even locations in southern Florida, including Key West.
Diaz-Canel wrote on X:
"The threats of military aggression against Cuba from the world's greatest power are well-known.
The threat itself already constitutes an international crime. If it were to materialize, it would trigger a bloodbath with incalculable consequences, plus the destructive impact on regional peace and stability.
Cuba poses no threat, nor does it have aggressive plans or intentions against any country. It has none against the U.S., nor has it ever had any—something the government of that nation knows full well, particularly its defense and national security agencies.
Cuba, which already endures a multidimensional aggression from the U.S., does have the absolute and legitimate right to defend itself against a military onslaught. Yet that cannot be wielded, either logically or honestly, as an excuse for imposing war on the noble Cuban people."

Si. Claro, Miguel.
One interesting factoid about Cuba is that the Hoi Polloi are mostly impoverished, and of black
African descent, while their overlords are White Hispanic communists who live a life of luxury.

this dumbarse can bluster all he wants, but no military action need be taken to topple a country that has run out of electricity and transportation fuel ...
It would be over very quickly. If he’s desperate enough anything is possible.
It wouldn’t be too surprising if Cuba fired a few drones at Florida if we engage the militarily. Probably a good idea to stay away from Key West for awhile.
Define quickly. That's what was said about Iran. Not that we won't ultimately prevail, but unless it's something like Grenada, I don't presume any large or moderate scale military operation is a cakewalk these days. In cases like Cuba, I prefer, like the poster above, the Venezuela Option.
And now? We have basic information of the drones, with enough lead time to make ready, set defenses, and mark storage and launch areas for attack.
Let’s go...
Whatever Mikey - nobody, not even yourself, believes a word of it. Enjoy Moscow say hi to Assad.
Why isn’t the Cuban Revolution over already?
What are they currently revolting against?

What have you got?
We could just run a big bass boat around Cuba a couple of times and the wake would capsize it.
Cuba has been a Mafia State since Jan 1, 1959, when the gangster brother duo of Fidel Castro and Raul Castro took over the country via VIOLENCE, summary firing squads, and gangsterism by also eliminating and removing 2 popular (non-communist) fellow “Comandante” revolutionaries (Camillo Cienfuegos killed, and Huber Matos imprisoned 20 yrs) immediately after their takeover. 1 dictator replaced by 2 dictators. Time for the Castro Inc mafia to face the music and the Cuban people to be finally liberated and Cuba to be aligned with the United States.
