‘Homeland or death’: How Cuba would defend itself against a US attack

Tensions between Cuba and the United States have escalated, with Cuba warning of severe consequences, including a potential 'bloodbath,' should the U.S. proceed with military action. This warning follows the imposition of new sanctions by Washington and reports of Cuba acquiring military drones from Russia and Iran.

The situation is critical for Cuba, as its leadership asserts the nation's right to defend itself against perceived threats from the U.S., emphasizing that it does not pose a threat to American security. This stance reflects a deep-seated concern over national sovereignty and the potential for conflict.

The broader context includes ongoing economic pressures on Cuba due to U.S. sanctions and a severe fuel crisis, which have intensified calls for regime change by the U.S. administration. The geopolitical dynamics are further complicated by international reactions, including support from countries like China, highlighting the global implications of U.S.-Cuba relations.
