US has troops ready to strike Cuba
Although the US Navy maintains a near-permanent presence in the Caribbean, just 150 kilometers from Cuba, Politico's recent report on the positioning of troops and weapons has reignited the debate over a possible military intervention. Most analyses, however, consider it unfounded media noise, pointing out that similar aircraft carriers were deployed in Vietnam and Afghanistan without decisive results. Geographic proximity makes any reinforcement trivial: the United States already has 80% of its military on its own soil, minutes away from Cuba. The question that remains is whether this kind of news reflects a political pressure strategy or simply routine naval deployment.
