Gaza without the bombs: US regime change operation in Cuba

The deliberate strangulation of Cuba’s economy by the Trump administration has created a humanitarian catastrophe that could lead to mass death comparable to the Gaza genocide without the bombs.

The White House’s designation of Cuba as an “extraordinary threat” to US national security on January 29 has launched a US regime-change operation to unilaterally use hunger, disease, and social collapse as weapons against an entire population. This is collective punishment on a national scale, banned under international law.

The tightening of the illegal, decades-long US blockade, combined with secondary sanctions and tariff threats against third countries supplying fuel and goods, has pushed living conditions to the edge.
