Episode Details

The Trump administration is quietly preparing for Cuba’s possible government collapse this summer, crafting military contingency plans while publicly pushing economic sanctions to weaken Havana — all under the controversial strategy of “accelerationism.” With Venezuela cutting oil shipments and Cuba facing brutal heatwaves, power outages, and food shortages, unrest could explode into street protests. The U.S. Southern Command recently ran a major drill simulating U.S. military responses to chaos. New sanctions target GAESA, a Cuban military group, forcing foreign firms to pull out — while the Justice Department unsealed a murder indictment against Raul Castro. Yet, no Cuban leaders have been identified for a potential interim government, and the embargo blocks easy normalization. Still, the U.S. quietly funnels $100 million in humanitarian aid through NGOs, keeping the door open for a future transition — even as the clock ticks toward potential upheaval.
