Regardless of his belligerent rhetoric, Donald Trump is not a sworn enemy of the Cuban Revolution. The constitutional castroism of the State Department is more enduring than any president passing through the White House.
Although Marco Rubio is spending effort posting sanctions against the regime in Havana, the official statistics from Washington are more telling: 3,222,000 barrels of crude oil and petroleum products exported from the United States to Cuba just in July 2026. An open secret.
Where did Cuba get the half a billion dollars to pay for those barrels for the July 26 celebrations? Did Cuba have financial credits from American banks (in other words, from the American taxpayer) or was it a cash operation, mafia-style?
From which port of imperialism do the tankers loaded with this fuel depart, or is it trafficked through a third country? At which port of the homeland do the ships with the black gold that saves the life of a blockaded Revolution dock? Should the United States impose sanctions on itself for violating the embargo against a country they have designated as a sponsor of international terrorism?
The catharsis could well have been Venezuela. I wouldn't be surprised if Havana collaborated with the CIA to hand over Nicolás Maduro's puppet in exchange for their own survival 'ad infinitum' on the Island. Whether with the Democrats or the Republicans, Castroism is tied up and secured.
On Wednesday, January 1st, 2059, the great-great-grandchildren of the Cuban exiles will celebrate at home the centenary of the communism that expatriated their great-great-grandparents. The USA will end up being, if it wasn't from the beginning, the new USSR.
Goodbye to the criminal and genocidal blockade. Goodbye to the foolishness of a democratic transition. We were imprisoned, exiled, and murdered only to fall into a totalitarian restoration.
