Cuba is mired in the US-Venezuela Dispute

 With the whole Caribbean involved!!

      For weeks the massive military U. S. presence in the Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela has hinted at an imminent regime change in Venezuela that will eliminate President Maduro whom the U. S. blames for massive illegal drug shipments to North America. Cuba was once a key Venezuelan ally dating back to the pre-Maduro period when the Castro-loving Hugo Chavez ruled Venezuela. But now Cuba in December of 2025 is still viewed by the U. S. as a prime supporter of Maduro although international headlines reveal that Cuba is busy merely trying to feed its people while also repeatedly being unable to prevent island-wide power blackouts for extended times.

    Prior to Maduro, Hugo Chavez was the powerful leader of oil-rich Venezuela and he worshipped Cuba's powerful leader Fidel Castro. Thus during that period Venezuela shipped Cuba so much oil that Cuba was able to even sell some of it to other countries. But Chavez died from cancer in Caracas at age 58 in 2013 and Castro died from old age at age 90 in Havana in 2016. The Cubans in Miami and the U. S. government in Washington tightened their screws on both Venezuela and Cuba following the deaths of Chavez and Castro. Since then during the post-Chavez/Castro eras in Venezuela and Cuba, the tougher U. S. sanctions against both countries have helped contribute to dire financial conditions, even massive poverty for everyday Venezuelans and Cubans even though to this day it is believed that Venezuela still has the world's largest known oil reserves. In recent years the populations of both Venezuela and Cuba have declined sharply, leaving less than 30,000 citizens in Venezuela and less than 10,000 people in Cuba.

      Above the Major headlines in early December-2025 from Reuters, Fox News, and YouTube {and others} suggest loudly that Cuba is secretly "contacting the US over Maduro." If you tap the arrow above you can see and hear the 4-minute YouTube report on that sensational rumor.

And...Below is what Reuters said:

    Regardless of what happens between the U. S. and Venezuela, it is For Sure that Cuba and the entire region will also be drastically affected.

       In addition to the massive U. S. military force in the Caribbean Sea between Cuba and Venezuela, the U. S. also has prime military bases in the same area as depicted by the red circles shown above. That includes the red circle on the southeastern tip of Cuba where the U. S. has maintained a military base since 1903. So it is hoped, despite the fact that the U. S. is surely poised to end the alleged Venezuelan drug shipments and Maduro's alleged involvement in them, some political solution will prevent a military solution. But at the moment, what happens is anybody's guess.
