This isn't a joke or anything
Cuba is gonna be invaded by the US by next month, and I don't have much hope in the Cuban armed forces alone.
Either an armed resistance needs to be established in the United States or international voluteers need to be formed for Cuba, either by the Cuban goverment or some communist org (PSL, RCI, etc).

>>2818086I didnt even know he was alive. I though he died decades ago.
anons i'm low autism score so i was wondering if it was possible to replace gasoline and other conventional oil derived fuels with ethanol or other plant derived fuels?
>>2819275You still need propane for the still
if they invade Cuba, just start lighting federal property on fire.
>>2819278You're talking about the Cubans right? Im pretty sure at this point you can just straight up get arrested for saying this stuff unless your a Republican.
>>2819395Its not going to happen, China is leveraging its trade positions over it.
Id be very surprised if trump goes against the other 2 super powers here but its still possible.
>>2791531I mean what are we going to do?
>>2819456i dunno, throw poo at federal officials
11 days left
lmao i bet they picked this guy because he has the name castro because almost no one i know knows who he is
>>2819396They will cuck out. Cooooba will be invaded and burger libs will pretend they weren't complicit while continuing the occupation.
Nah, not gonna happen after the failure of project Epstein Fury.
Invasion of Greenland more likely, easy win unless NATO powers actually stand up to US
Cuba will absolutely fall within hours, that's for sure. The real battle however is what we decide to do after.
>>2819946100% this. trump can go in history and to his maga boomer and cuban gusanos as the 'guy who finally got castro'
Up
>>2820821If I were Diaz I'd be having the army bury guns in the mountains and establish clandestine cells of soldiers to fight as guerrillas.
>>2831260Doomposting Cuba has a competent army that could actually materially resist american invasion to the point where if they did attack it would have to be on a scale too large to justify to americans. Even if they are retarded enough to do it it would be a political catastrophe for trump with many us soldiers dying. The cuban government still retains some level of popularity and many cubans are smart enough to know that the americans are worse than their own government and understand the effect the embargo has.
>>2831302Also even anti-regime people in Cuba still hate the US for the blockade and embargo.
>>2815450Unfortunately MAGAtards will just get angry and call for every Cuban citizen's head on a pike because they have the maturity level of 12 years old
>>2792010So the systematic elimination of ethnic Russians is not a genocide?
We dont want to be as bad as the Jews now.
Multiple genocides can happen.
>>2831305This, it’ll be like the Shia in Iraq all over again
For anyone doomposting, why would Cuba be easier for Americans than Iraq which they lost? Iraq is infinitely worse territory for a guerrilla than Cuba
>>2791531Feel like the burger overlords already know they're going to lose Taiwan by 2030 and need to give a symmetric "retalitaion" to appease their jingoistic MAGA voterbase.
>>283144340 million vs 10 million population and its more spread out in iraq and iraq was way more militarised with a better army
>>2831465Cuba has mountains and jungles though, Iraq is literally flat and Americans couldn’t stomach the casualties from it.
>>2831464By 2030 trump will be gone and libs are sympathetic to Cuba enough not to let it happen. Young people are overwhelmingly both pro PRC and anti interventionist so I dont think theres enough support for thag either.
This is assuming boomers keep dying off
>>2831494>Young people are overwhelmingly both pro PRC and anti interventionist my brother in marx (pbuh), it doesn't matter what the plebe thinks in that vast majority of scenarios unless actual violence is involved
millennial and zoomers from the western and israeli ruling classes are generally so reactionary that they'd make hitler blush, I got the feeling those gigafaggots (pejorative) are gonna pile more corpses than the entire rest of human recorded history by themselves
>>2831491Iraq is not flat where it matters (the border)
Did it happen
>>2791692>i support x>uhhh no you don't chud, what about y and slava z? have you accepted that x is actually a single line rather than two intersecting lines? your saying it's a circle? i don't even subscribe to electoralism but i genuinely think people like you are even less useful
Revive
>>2791531If you are correct, the good news is that means more dead soldiers and wasted tax dollars.
Maybe Trotsky was right and permanent revolution is just grifting the great Satan forever.
No refunds for the boomershits who come back with ptsd. No jobs waiting for you, no healthcare, your wife cheated on you, fuck you.
>>2867796It’s over Christcuck, Cuba has surrendered and is doing dengism. The Cuban revolution is OVER. Time to pack up your bags commies.
>>2867796>>2867800You both are complete retards who have projected your own psychological fantasies onto Cuba. No the Cuban state did not betray the revolution. They're choosing a path of transition toward a system that has proven capable of functioning under hostile capitalist imperialist conditions, while also demonstrating that it can transition back to a more authoritarian state model if and when necessary. They're not going to let millions die just to satisfy your bizarre fantasies or ideological fetishes.
>>2867994>blah blah blahChe Guevara was an amazing liberal revolutionary. Up there with Robespierre.
>>2868062I mean he was a sub-par military theorist.
>>2867994I'm so tired of anyone who uses the phrase "Dengism" to describe any capitulation to capital by an existing communist party.
For example, was Gorbachev doing Dengism? No. Why? Because he destroyed the party and the USSR, and did not pull anyone out of poverty, or make the USA more dependent on the USSR. Deng's gambit worked in the long term for the PRC. That's the difference.
>but the heckin proleswould have suffered under Yeltsinism instead of Dengism.
it's been 3 months and cuba is not invaded
>>2878060The US Air Force is literally abandoning Al-Udeid Airbase right now and the Strait of Hormuz is still closed. It might be safe to say that any invasion of Cuba might not happen for at least another year at this point.
>They are swapping their gas-guzzling 1950s American cars for electric motorcycles and rickshaws from China; importing hefty lithium batteries to keep televisions and fans running through blackouts; jury-rigging generators to run on more accessible natural gas; and installing solar panels on rooftops and even vehicles.>The result is that Cuba has lasted far longer without fuel shipments than the Trump administration expected.>After hearing about the oil blockade, Mr. Palmero learned on YouTube how to distill junk plastic into homemade gasoline and diesel. He has since built a tiny, makeshift refinery in his backyard to power his motorcycle and light his stove.>“We look for solutions,” he said. “The economic restrictions are slowly killing us, but we’re pulling through with all our might, managing to get by until we see what happens next.”
>In Havana and beyond, the crisis’s effects were clear.>We met families walking two hours for water because government pumps had run out of diesel. Women, lacking gas, cooked with firewood on the street. Powerless refrigerators became cabinets. Hitchhikers littered roadsides after the city halted public busing. And dozens of people told us they were simply exhausted after so many sleepless nights in the sweltering heat without fans or air-conditioning.
>Vehicles were on the road — despite black-market gasoline reaching $30 a gallon — because many were electric. Restaurants were open for the few who could afford them, powered by rumbling generators out back. Hospitals, government buildings and the airport had power because they were on protected parts of the grid. Medical clinics, nursing homes and bank branches ran off solar panels donated by China.>Cell service was sometimes working. Televisions showing the World Cup were not hard to find. And even roadside stands were serving cold beer from refrigerators powered by the sun.
>While not everyone can afford alternative power sources, their energy has trickled down. Electric rickshaws ferry people to work. Solar panels have kept stores open. And people charge their phones and lanterns off their neighbor’s battery or the generator at work.>In one neighborhood, we saw one of the few families with a generator set up a television in the street so children could watch cartoons.>“We have not reached the point of having a humanitarian crisis precisely because of the strength of our society,” Mr. Fernández de Cossío, Cuba’s deputy foreign minister, said in Havana’s Fidel Castro museum, where the lights were on but the air-conditioning had failed. “The intimate expectation in political circles in the United States was that Cuba could not survive beyond April. And here we are.”
>As a result, Cuba has been powering its electric grid solely with domestic oil and gas and a growing network of solar parks sponsored by China. Together, they are enough to support roughly half of Cuban demand, according to Jorge Piñón, who studies Cuban energy at the University of Texas.>To preserve that supply, the government strategically cuts power at certain times and in certain places. It also runs plants at lower capacity to keep them from failing; extracts more natural gas; and even tries to refine sludgy oil residues from the bottom of years-old tanks.>Mr. Piñón said he and other analysts underestimated the Cuban government’s resourcefulness when they forecast it would exhaust its fuel stocks by March.
>At least some is coming from the United States. The Trump administration has allowed limited fuel exports to private businesses in Cuba, which has relieved pressure on black-market gas prices. And last week, the U.S. government’s first batch of $100 million in aid arrived.>The moves show how the Trump administration is exerting power over Cuba, ordering other nations to halt fuel shipments but allowing its own, and then providing aid in response to the resulting crisis. A White House spokeswoman said the Trump administration viewed Cuba as a threat to national security.>Exhausted Cubans told us they were angry at both Havana and Washington. Yet no one said they planned to take to the streets. Aside from banging pots and pans, the Cuban people have hardly staged protests.
>On the road west, we met Abel Menéndez on a roof blanketed in panels. He has been selling and installing solar kits for five years, he said, but now both supply and demand have skyrocketed. At the same time, costs have dropped, to about $400 a panel from $500 a year earlier. “People are constantly calling,” he said.>We also came across a new field of panels — one of the government’s 54 solar parks, most inaugurated since 2025 and all built with China’s help.>Few countries are adopting solar faster than Cuba. Solar energy can now meet roughly 10 percent of Cuba’s electricity needs, the government says, up from 3 percent at the start of 2025. Cuban officials aim to depend fully on renewable energy by 2050.>For now, solar provides a boost, but it hardly solves Cuba’s problem. The island lacks the massive batteries needed to store solar power. That means it can provide roughly 20 percent of Cuba’s electricity at midday, but virtually none after the sun sets, during peak demand.
>Perhaps Cuba’s hottest product of the moment are portable lithium batteries that can be charged in a few hours and then temporarily power televisions, fans or even refrigerators.>The most popular model costs about $750 in Cuba, sold on social media by Cubans who have imported them from China.
>Other Cubans are electrifying their homes with the gas piped in for cooking and heating water. About 280,000 residences in Havana have such gas lines, and many are connecting them to modified generators designed to run on liquid fuel. Cuba produces the gas domestically, so it is one of the few energy sources not affected by the blockade.>The gas is also cheap, especially for the 120,000 households that pay a flat rate regardless of use. One man said he had been running a generator off gas almost nonstop, and yet was still billed the same 50 pesos, or eight cents, for the month.https://archive.is/ebxvp >>2878060Cubans are built out of tough stuff. They produce a lot of combat sports athletes too. A lot of the guys killed during Operation Maduro Booty Snatch were Cuban, but the thing is they did actually shot back at the Yanquis and died in combat.
It's not inconcievable to me that they give in from sheer exhaustion in the end, but I don't get the same feeling. Sometimes you have to trust your intuition, especially when your intuition says "I'm about to get my ass kicked." Which Cubans are very good at doing.
>>2889260So the whole "China isn't helping!" bit was bullshit?
Realistically, how long would the FAR be able to hold out the invasion?
No reason to invade when you can just tighten the blockade forever
