All right, Alexander, let's do an update on the situation in Cuba. We had massive blackouts

a couple of days ago. We have Trump saying that he's going to take Cuba. And we also have

Russia now sending a couple of tankers full of oil and gas to Cuba as well.

And we have a defiant, D.S., who is saying that Trump is not going to just walk in here

and take Cuba.

But the blockade continues, and the troubles are great for Cuba.

And all of this is happening at a time when we have two wars going on, one in Ukraine and the one in the Middle East.

So what's happening with Cuba?

Exactly.

I'm going to say, I think we have been well ahead of pretty much every other commentaries about this.

When the American siege of Venezuela began,

we said that ultimately it's going to be about Cuba. Rubio is basically running the policy.

His little difficulty winning Trump over to this, Trump has always been very willing to go after

leftist government sit Latin America and to pursue them. We know that he doesn't like them.

So Ruby has never had any real trouble getting Trump on site. So the idea was stop exports of oil from Venezuela, use that to impose

an embargo on Cuba, an oil blockade of Cuba, because Cuba got its oil from Venezuela and to a lesser extent from Mexico, and try and use that

to coerce regime change in Cuba itself, which is clearly the policy. I mean, when they say

they want the president to leave, what they're really looking to achieve is regime change.

If you look at the various demands that they're making fundamental reforms or changes, they

always call them reforms, but basically the privatization of the entire Cuban economy and the

return basically of the Cuban community, the Cuban exiles in Florida. I mean, it is

the reversal of everything that has happened in Cuba since Fidel Castro took power in 1959.
