US Prepares Potential Military Action Around Cuba, CBS Reports

US Prepares for Military Action 'Around' Cuba

The United States military is preparing for a potential military action around Cuba. CBS reported the news, and the distinction is what truly matters: around Cuba, not within Cuba. This means the scenario involves a naval blockade, pressure from the air, or deployment in nearby waters, not a landing on the island. This precision is significant, and some suspect the nuance is simply diplomatic caution.

What 'Around Cuba' Means and Why It's Not an Invasion

The dominant interpretation dismisses the classic scenario of a ground invasion. The focus is on a highly targeted operation and the creation of internal militias opposed to the regime, not on turning the island into another Gaza. A recurring counterpoint: those involved won't see anything at night because there are always blackouts there. This irony summarizes a real doubt about logistics.

The Law of Grandchildren: Cubans Looking Towards Spain

For Spain, this issue is not distant. It's suggested that "a few thousand" people could arrive under the law of grandchildren if the situation deteriorates, turning the Cuban crisis into a Spanish immigration policy concern. Others argue the opposite: that the island affects most Spaniards very little.

No Oil, No Venezuela 2

The parallel with Venezuela appears quickly, with one crucial difference: Cuba lacks the oil that would justify the risk. Despite this, the majority bet is that the US administration will act sooner or later. And a geographical detail: if Florida's Cuban community shifts its electoral mood, Florida ceases to be Republican.

The operation, if it happens, has no set date. It also lacks oil. And curiously, it's being prepared during hurricane season.
