The Cuba Siglo 21 ideas laboratory warned that its own sources assure it that the Havana regime”has asked Putin for a military presence nuclear russian in this summer” to shore up the probable increase in repression, inevitable given the worsening of the crisis and the social outbreak that may ensue.
Referring to the arrival next week in the Cuban capital of a Russian combat group, made up of a missile frigate and a nuclear submarine, the Madrid-based project noted that This deployment seeks to send “the message to the people of the Island (more than to Washington) that the United States will not dare to come to their aid.” if Cuban blood is spilled in the streets of cities and towns. “The Russian ships will be there to make possible an unpunished Tiananmen in Cuba.”
“The Cuban oligarchy knows that this year, especially during the summer, it may face social explosions of great magnitude that generate serious ungovernability on the Island. Under these circumstances, “It is militarizing the island’s institutions (relying on the little studied Title X of the 2019 Constitution)”said Cuba Siglo 21 in a text that describes the current situation of terminal asphyxiation that the regime is experiencing.
“Raúl Castro has decided to put aside the structure of his mediocre and undercapitalized civil government and come to the foreground to the real power that until now was hiding in its shadow. GAESA and the FAR take the stage. Raúl Castro knows that his counterintelligence apparatus is incapable of averting the growing prospect of a probable popular rebellion that today is no longer promoted by organized opposition groups that they previously infiltrated and dismantled. Incapable of imagining any other solution to such a challenge other than the massive use of lethal force. against the population, is preparing to do so under the complacent gaze of two warships and a Russian nuclear submarine,” he points out.
For the laboratory of ideas, the promulgation this week of Resolution 9/2024 of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, which provides for the militarization of urban and rural civilian objectives throughout the country, “is equivalent to putting the military structure above the civil structure throughout the Islandas provided for in Title
“These are not measures to confront an external threat of invasion, but rather the anger and desperation of the people. An armed force of hunting shotguns is not to protect areas of military interest from the 82nd Airborne Division, but from mothers desperate for the hunger their families suffer. But so that there is no doubt about the willingness to escalate repression, these authorities are also granted powers to coordinate with the FAR the securing of tanks (tanks?) and other means to fulfill their missions,” the statement says.
“As listed in the Official Gazette, The places to be protected with lethal force are not military bases, but areas of ‘constructive investments’, and ‘urban and rural areas of interest for defense’. “It is not difficult to assume that they will include the residential areas of the leaders and the infrastructure of GAESA’s businesses.”
“The background scenario of both news is the growing worsening of the crisis in Cuba and the protests it provokes: 716 in May,” notes Cuba Siglo 21.
“Courtesy of Putin, the deployment of national repressive forces willing to kill will be carried out in the presence of a military, foreign and interfering force, represented – for now – by three ships and a nuclear submarine. Her presence only serves to give Castro and Maduro a pat on the back (the Venezuelan elections are on July 28).”
“If Washington wants to avoid a massacre in Cuba, the way is not to finance MSMEs, but to send an urgent, loud and clear message to Havana, that “90 miles from the United States, an action like Tiananmen would have serious consequences.”ends the statement.
