_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

The Trump State Department released an exhaustive 100-page report titled "Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism," detailing decades of Cuban espionage, intelligence operations, and ideological subversion targeting the United States.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the report's findings on Monday, stating that "the American people deserve to know" the full extent of Havana's influence operations.

_THE FACTS_

  • Secretary Rubio called Cuba "the leading sponsor of radical leftism" in America for more than 60 years.

  • The report identifies three Chinese spy bases in Cuba allegedly monitoring military communications across the southeastern US.

  • China reportedly struck a secret multibillion-dollar deal with Cuba in 2023 to expand its spying infrastructure.

  • A powerful new Chinese-linked antenna at Cuba's former Soviet missile base can reportedly intercept signals up to 8,000 miles away.

  • A coalition including the Democratic Socialists of America and CODEPINK has reportedly planned coordinated protests at US military and ICE facilities if America attacks Cuba.

  • A Cuba-linked activist group published a target list of 1,335 US military and law enforcement sites.

  • Former Cuban agents claim 90 percent of Cuba's state friendship institute is tied to the country's intelligence services.

  • Russia and China have reportedly tripled their intelligence presence in Cuba over the past three years.

  • Cuba's president accused the US of reviving "a new and more dangerous version of McCarthyism” following Rubio’s denunciation of radical leftism.

_OUR TAKE_

As was discussed yesterday with President Trump’s election fraud speech as a pitch for the SAVE America Act, this report is being released amid swirling rumors of an impending Cuba takeover by the US.

Despite the timing and political purpose of the report, it is extremely damning. Cuba has not only been the vanguard in influencing subversion and revolution in the US, but has also had extensive involvement in aiding America’s enemies abroad. This assessment is why James Olson, the former CIA Chief of Counterintelligence, said Cuban intelligence is “much better than the KGB ever was.”

Cuba itself is not the threat. China and Russia IN Cuba has those enemy nations perfectly positioned to weaken the USA-90 mi. from FL.

Cuba has always been a threat to our country, but whether it's a major threat, I'm not convinced. With the presence of China, Russia, and Iran, this cannot and should not be tolerated.

Yes. Praying for God's wisdom for our President and government leaders in dealing with Cuba, China, Russia and all Communist countries.

Of course it is, by its very proximity, as proven in the JFK era missle crisis. Then, it was Russia; now, apparently it is China! What the hay? Do we want to be reduced to a 3rd world communist nation by allowing Cuba to freely associate with our enemies, within bombing range?

Yes, Cuba has been a threat to the US ever since Castro with his ties to Russia and his Communist regime took over forcing the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Cuba has always been and will remain an imminent threat to the US until the communist hold on the country is dissolved.

Cuba has been an issue since back in the 60’s when Russia was putting missile sites in. It’s been a problem for its public since Castro. Removing both China and Russia from there due to its close proximity is definitely important. Won’t completely resolve the problem for the citizens of Cuba but will certainly make our country safer.

Yes, a huge threat as long as they are backed up by russia and china. (They’re only 90 miles away…maybe the 51st state?)

Cuba is a threat but only because of Russia(historically) and China. Without there support, Cuba ceases to exist. We need to cut the head of the communist movement by joining Ukraine(as Sen. Graham proposed)in taking out Russia. Having it spin its military resources and oil revenue on defending itself against Ukraine. We need to out business China, and structure our business arrangement with them by saying ‘out of Cuba and Caribbean’. Then step up our robust business and military arrangements in Southeast Asia with those countries that fear China and those countries that compete with China such as India. Communism movement in America falls apart with the total defeat of a hollowed out Russia and a annex Cuba, who both try to impact our election process. Than

Cuba is still a strategic location for opposition to the US. An attack on the east coast and gulf region from Cuba would be incredibly difficult to defend. Cuba will always be an issue so long as the country is controlled by communists.

"Do you believe Cuba is still a major threat to the United States?" It now sounds far worse than I ever realized. I know it has been bad since JFK's handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis, but obviously according to Upward reporting, it has greatly magnified just in the past 3 years. And then the unintelligible DSA wants to defend Cuba. They certainly proudly show their stupidity!!!!!!!!! And they think that mainstream Americans really want this kind of government crap. Doomsday may be closer than we really think. US voters need to wake up, Soon!!

Cuba has always been a threat to the US. Cuba is corrupt, broke, and desperate. I think this makes a dangerous neighbor.

Cuba is a flea on a dog's ass in relation to a threat to the US directly. They could and should be neutralized tomorrow based on Rubio's report. Not that those with half a brain weren't already aware per history that Cuba has long been an American hating Communist haven. The big question is why haven't we dealt with them sooner and what happens next? Well if this Administrations track record holds steady, then nothing of significance as we've seen for the past year and a half will befall our Foreign enemies. Hell we can't even hold our Domestic enemies accountable. I don't know why Trump and Team think releasing damning information, enter topic here, and ultimately not doing anything of significance to rectify these major issues, is what the American People want to hear about... We want a stalwart force that will stand by the Constitution and obliterate all enemies foreign and domestic. Why in God's name is this such a mountain to climb for these people. Very Telling...

Do you believe Cuba is still a major threat to the United States? YES! Now more than ever because China is in the process of hijacking Cuba and other South American countries.

While Cuba portrays itself as "the poor little orphan boy with no finances, power, influence or might, it is one of the biggest "usefull idiots" of the world communist party. On another world news story in this Daily Brief its reported that the US sent a cargo plane to Cuba with millions $$ worth of humanitarian aid that supposedly catholic groups are receiving and distributing, as stated by so called experts and those in the "know". Anyone that believes that millions $$ in humanitarian aid are going to land in Cuba and the leadership is not going to get any of it, is as naive as a 3 year old child. It is well known that these so called "catholic groups" are funded and contolled by people like George Soros. Communists are masters at disguising their agendas and diverting attention. I was born in Cuba, my family immigrated to the US in 1962 after Communism took control of the Island under the disguise of "Democracy", so I am very familiar with how the Cuban Communist Government works.

Definitely one of the biggest threats to America. Just look what has happened with the Cuban trained Karen Bass and the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City. Cuba is and has been a huge threat to the US for 60+years.

The key distinction in the "Cuba Threat" has to be who the threat really is, and what the Cuban people have the will to do. Obviously, Russia ,and now China are the real threat. The Cuban people have been bound by ideology and political domination. What is the will of the people of Cuba? In the midst of the struggle, the Lord's Messengers have been quietly building Jesus' Church. Maranatha!!
