He'll order the secret police to crack down. Then the people will have to decide whether to continue protesting or give up.
Trade one island nation for another, Cuba for Taiwan.
Capitalism will return to Cuba
I heard, a few years ago, that when protests were occurring in Tehran, it would amount to nothing.
The reason, was that it had NOT spread to other cities in Iran.
This MAY be different.
I heard that these demonstrations/protests, were occurring in MANY cities in Cuber.
Yankee dollahs may soon follow.
If only Micheal Corleone had lived a little longer....
Maybe the troops are sharpening the edges of their entrenching shovels as (I believe) Andropov did when there was trouble in the Eastern Bloc.
Entrenching shovels are a nasty weapon in the hands of a Dictator’s minions.
“....you’re left with nothing but unjustifiable tyranny and privations.”
That works pretty well, especially with an unarmed populace.

His ears are plugged however when it comes to the USA.
The regular police do not carry guns and probably do not know how to use them. The government does not trust them around guns.
ABSOLUTELY. Let’s keep our ears open for any chatter, folks.
Not just Cuba, but Haiti as well. It appears the economy (what was left of it) of these two countries has gone totally south. Honestly, I wonder if this is could be a regional issue? And possibly any ties to S. Africa?
Does anyone here know if Bernie and AOC have made statements?
Heard they had not.
If they denounce the freedom seekers they look bad (which they are) in order to stand up for Marxism.
If they call for US military intervention to help the freedom seekers they will enrage their Marxist handlers and funding sources behind he scenes.
This requires integrity and honesty-—which AOC and Bernie lack big time.
Morse Code?
President Retard has his own political prisoners being held without due process.
Ask the Romanians the key to a successful uprising. Raul Castro’s blood is still on the wrong side of his body.
Netflix has a reality series called Churchill’s Secret Agents, about SOE operatives. They put a bunch of regular modern-day people through the SOE training syllabus, and six of them made it out of about ten. And yes, they had to learn Morse Code and transmit and receive messages through a portable wireless under cover.
I wonder if it’s possible to have visual contact between the northernmost beach or the highest peak in Cuba, and the southernmost beach of Key West or Tortuga next to Haiti. If it is, it’s possible to use a pocket mirror to send heliostat signals in Morse Code. Most likely something similar has been done before. If not, there are always other ways.
Just because the POTUS is a corrupt, traitorous whore with a corrupt, traitorous bunch of whores behind him in both Houses and SCOTUS, does not mean we are all helpless until 2022. Quite the contrary. I am lucky to live overseas, out of their evil clutches. But they can’t evilly clutch everyone, nor even most everyone.
And the Cuban people do have allies both in the US and elsewhere, regardless of what those posers in Washington think.
1. Add a nation of pissed off people.
2. Mix in the latest reason why they are pissed off.
3. Stir until frothing and hot.
4. Then break open the self-important asses who is keeping them down.
5. Watch the fun unfold.
Why did you say “south” when you meant down? You must be Bubba-phobic!
That was EPIC!
Raul is still alive. Unreal.
They are listening to the protesters. They’re using identification software to get their names and then they’re tapping their phones, tracking their Internet activities, and orienting surveillance cameras to flag them wherever they go and whatever they do. Pretty soon they’ll be listening to them under hot lights, in a basement interrogation room.
A revolt against Cuba’s communist regime is actually long overdue, I remember in the 90s many Americans (wrongly) predicted Castro’s dictatorship would collapse as soon as Fidel kicked the bucket and he wasn’t around to strong-arm people into obidence.
Not going to happen unless there’s a revolt in the Army.
Raul may be “retired”, but all big decisions still run through him, and he’s still pretty much in charge.
The fact that Raul got involved here shows that Diaz-Canel is weak. The Cubans know this now, and when Raul passes, things will get real interesting.
