Trump Administration Claims Cuba Imported Drones to Attack America
Editors Note: The supposed drone threat from Cuba is complete nonsense as they could do very little damage with them even if it were true. This is nothing more than the pre Castro era of rich fat cat Cubans who want all of their sugar plantations, casinos and their death squads back, and they’re willing to starve the Cuban population in order to achieve it. Trump sees it as easy pickings and a quick military victory as they are stuck in a stalemate with Iran.

Axios cites “classified intelligence” warning “Cuba has reportedly procured more than 300 attack drones from Russia and Iran” that will be used “against the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, U.S. military vessels, and even Key West, Florida.”
A senior U.S. official highlighted the seriousness of the situation, stating, “Considering such technologies so close to us, combined with various dangerous actors like terrorist groups, drug cartels, Iranians, and Russians, it is concerning. It represents a growing threat.”
Axios MAGA exponents add:
The intelligence — which could become a pretext for U.S. military action — shows the degree to which the Trump administration sees Cuba as a threat because of developments in drone warfare and the presence of Iranian military advisers in Havana, a senior U.S. official said.
This ludicrous “intelligence” (as usual, minus any evidence) is simply an effort by the Trump regime to divert attention away from the failure to destroy Iran and re-open the Strait of Hormuz.
For Trump, Cuba is a near perfect target due to its small size. The anchor baby Marco Rubio and the Cuban “exile community,” known as the Miami Mafia (aka “The Corporation”), would like nothing more than to install another Fulgencio Batista, the brutal military dictator deposed by the Cuban Revolution. The corporación mafiosa is nostalgic for the days when the “Little Man,” gangsterismo boss Meyer Lansky, controlled the country.
Under Batista’s rule, Cubans endured extreme wealth inequality, with one-third of the population living in poverty. Meanwhile, rural peasants, the Guajiros, faced starvation, while the elite enjoyed one of the highest per capita incomes in Latin America. Wealth was heavily concentrated among the elite, foreign entities, and the urban upper class. Furthermore, US interests controlled much of the sugar industry and approximately 70% of arable land, most notably the United Fruit Company.
Furthermore, US multinationals controlled nearly 90% of Cuba’s mines and 80% of its public utilities. This exploitation of Cuba’s resources resulted in immense wealth extraction, while the US reaped generous tax exemptions negotiated with Batista’s administration.
Between 1954 and 1956, new foreign investment quadrupled, flowing into almost every strategic sector of the Cuban economy: petroleum, public utilities, petrochemicals, mining, non-sugar manufacturing, tourism, and construction… The most important ‘growth’ sector in the economy under Batista was the largely American-financed expansion of the tourist industry [operated by the Mafia].
Batista suspended civil liberties, including the right to strike and the right to habeas corpus. The regime enforced strict censorship, silencing all criticism of military rule and imprisoning or exiling journalists who opposed it. As discontent grew, the government resorted to mass arrests, torture of political prisoners, and public executions to instill fear in the populace.
Batista’s Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities (BRAC) was setup by the CIA. “Since Batista’s 1952 coup, the military had already been dumping bullet-riddled corpses on the streets of Havana,” writes Ramona Wadi for Jacobin.
Batista’s agents dumped the bodies of victims in the hills of Pinar del Río, in mass graves or at abandoned sites. According to Havana’s morgue director, more than seven hundred bodies were brought to the morgue between 1952 and 1958 with evidence of having been severely tortured before they were killed.
The Miami Mafia, called gusanos (“worms”) and escoria (“trash”) by Fidel Castro, craves the re-establishment of their “lost paradise” in Cuba. “The dream of return, the dream of revenge, the dream of settling scores and turning back the clock [to mass poverty and death squads] has held a significant proportion of the diaspora in its thrall for nearly five decades,” writes Latin American expert Mark Falcoff.
“The impact of these sentiments has been felt in U.S. politics and policy — logically during the Cold War, but also for more than a decade since its conclusion.” Castro’s gusanos, along with the “CIA, Pentagon, US Information Agency, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) … have been part of sabotage and terrorist campaign against Cuba for over 6 decades,” notes Chris Matlhako for United World International.
Trump’s Cuban anchor baby Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, a member in good standing with the Miami Mafia in Calle Ocho, Little Havana, has told the Cuban people they have two choices: total collapse or an economic transformation that, under the current leadership, he insists is unfeasible.
The Ministry of Cuba has said if the country is attacked, it will exercise its right to legitimate defense. In late March, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel declared the island is fully prepared, under the United Nations charter, to defend itself against US aggression. Díaz-Canel’s statement follows Trump’s assertion that he can do “whatever he wants” with Cuba.
“We will be taking it over almost immediately. On the way back from Iran, we’ll have maybe the USS Lincoln come in off shore and they’ll give up,” Trump said.
The overblown purported threat of Cuban drones is yet another element in the ongoing propaganda effort to destabilize the island nation. It is a prelude to the possibility of Trump sending special forces into Havana to abduct Díaz-Canel, and possibly murder his security and Cuban officials, as Trump did with Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.
In April, Díaz-Canel addressed a crowd on the anniversary of the Bay of Pigs, the failed CIA-led attempt to invade Cuba and overthrow its government in 1961. “We have to be ready to resist serious threats, including military aggression,” he said. “We do not seek it, but it is our duty to prepare to avert it, and, should it prove inevitable, to win it.”
However, if Trump successfully bribes and threatens key Cuban military and government officials, as it did in Venezuela, the prospect of yet another Latin American country falling victim to Trump’s “Donroe” corollary to the Monroe Doctrine may be a inevitable.
