[February 15, 2026] Cuba has been falling apart for decades, ever since Fidel Castro’s revolutionaries overthrew dictator Batista. Now, Cuba is only hanging on by its fingernails. With President Trump’s oil embargo, the country’s lifeline has been severed. This is why America prepares for the collapse of Cuba.
What is amazing is that Cuba could be run so poorly for so long. Since Castro’s time, the nation has existed on handouts (better known as foreign aid) from Russia, the Dominican Republic, China, Venezuela, Mexico, and other socialist or communist countries. Like Iran and North Korea, Cuba’s collapse will not happen soon enough. We can tell. There are subtle indicators beyond the obvious. Cuba, once a major exporter, now imports sugar.
Cuba is highly reliant on oil imports. Nearly its entire electrical system (83%) – which itself is falling apart – depends on a steady flow of oil. All of its critical infrastructure, such as water purification systems and food refrigeration, cannot operate without electricity. Under socialism, the nation’s infrastructure has been allowed to decay.
Eventually, when the upcoming collapse comes, it won’t be pretty. Cuba’s army and police force are huge compared to its population, and they hold all the guns. Who will they be loyal to when the system crashes? The old dictatorial rulers (who cannot pay them) or the Cuban people? I suspect their loyalty will be to those who can feed them.
America, under Donald Trump, is preparing to step in after the collapse. Similar to the model developed under Venezuela’s political decapitation, it is only a matter of time before capital investment and infrastructure development happen.
Everyone is going to be happy, except for communist elitists and American Leftists. But it’s going to take time and hard work. Jobs are going to multiply rapidly. Most Cubans will see an immediate increase in their well-being.
Cuba’s collapse will be fast and furious, and after a short period of instability, things will begin to look up. If the dictatorship is overthrown quickly and the army and police switch to the side of ordinary Cubans, I suspect Cuba will become prosperous once again after allying with the West.
This is a win-win for the people of Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean and the Americas. The losers will be communist dictators.

Please read my books:

Gen. Satterfield’s article is ideological propaganda that ignores U.S. imperialism, especially the embargo it admits “severed” Cuba’s lifeline. It blames socialism while omitting external coercion, sanctions, and historical exploitation. It assumes capitalist takeover will “multiply jobs,” without addressing inequality, dependency, or class exploitation—revealing a pro-capitalist bias rather than material analysis.
Commie’s back. Please, sir, don’t write like you are from the 1970s. Try a more modern approach.
Break out the popcorn. Another socialist/communist country about to bite the dust.
Cuba was once one of the greatest placing in the Western hemisphere. today, it’s trash. Why? Simple? The communist revolution – which took over from a nasty dictator – does what it always does, DESTROY. Communism always destroys everything in its path. No matter that the Western academics – which are wannabe communists themselves – say about Communism never really been implemented properly, we know that Communism’s destruction of any society is a feature, not an accident of improper implementation. Cuba will not fail fast enough. When it does, it is a good thing that America is ready to step in and bring prosperity back to those who now live there.
Yeah, imagine that. Communism works great until you run out of other people’s money. Well, someone once said that, I think British PM Margaret Thatcher, if my memory serves me right.
Cuba is a piece of Communist crap. Their government is getting rich while the people suffer. Classic Communism.
Another communist experiment gone wrong. Who would have known? 👺
Communism, real communism, has not yet been tried correctly. Exactly what most stupid people say.
Hi DPG, nothing like a bunch of dummies in three piece suits with zero real world experience making important decisions. Yeah, how’d that turn out in New York City. With a Muslim mayor who is a self-described communist, I don’t think the “Big Apple” is going to do well. They’ve already run out of money and have a $12 Billion deficient. Naturally, the new communist mayor is blaming the previous socialist mayor. Ah, the compassion of these communists makes me feel so warm. Ha Ha Ha. 😂
Communism always works until they run out of other people’s money. And that happens all the time. Thugs run Communist nations. That means that adopting Communism sounds great to the uneducated but it is only meant to make the thugs richer and more powerful. That is why they say “the ends, justify the means.”
Welcome aboard, Elizabeth.
