Puerto Rico Governor Warns of Imminent US Attack on Cuba
Puerto Rico Governor Jennifer González Colón stated in a Molusco TV interview that the US could enter a war with Cuba within a week, citing conflicts with China, Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. She argued Puerto Rico's strategic value for US military and pharmaceutical supply chains justifies statehood. The US is upgrading the former Roosevelt Roads naval base in Puerto Rico, used in the January 3 operation against Venezuela. The Southern Command deployed the USS Nimitz to the Caribbean for Southern Seas 2026. The Justice Department indicted 94-year-old Raúl Castro for the 1996 shootdown of Brothers to the Rescue planes. Cuba has intensified civil defense exercises and distributed survival guides. The US subpoenaed CODE PINK's Medea Benjamin and Hasan Piker for providing medical aid to Cuba. Tensions also escalate in Bolivia amid DEA and military actions against Evo Morales.
