Bloomberg: Cuba Is Already Expecting A U.S. Invasion

Many are hoping for the overthrow of the dictatorship in their country.

The regime's leaders are urging citizens to lay down their heads for the "revolution," while Cubans themselves are hoping the Americans will rid them of the communists.

The Cuban government has taken extra security measures after Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was kidnapped by the Americans. Ordinary Cubans are also scared, but among them there are many who hope for the overthrow of the dictatorship in their country as well. This is according to Bloomberg.

The publication notes that in a lightning raid in Caracas, the Americans killed more than three dozen Cuban military personnel who provided the Venezuelan government with military protection services as well as help with military intelligence. In return, Venezuela supplied Cuba with fuel at a reduced price, some of which is used to generate electricity on the island.

But the ease with which the Americans carried out their special operation without suffering any casualties stunned Cubans and undermined their faith in the Cuban regime's ability to defend itself against foreign invasion. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio added fuel to the fire, saying bluntly that it was a good time for Cuban officials to start getting nervous.

As ordinary Cubans told Bloomberg, police and military presence has become more visible in the island's major cities, and the general atmosphere on the streets has become tense.

"People are scared and nervous, but full of hope. There are people who also wonder if Cuba will be free," said 47-year-old Cuban Taymir Garcia, who is an opponent of the communist regime.

All this comes amid a severe economic crisis, the worst since the collapse of the Soviet Union, when Cuba lost its main sponsor. But the situation will get worse if now Venezuela finally stops helping the government in Havana.

"We are already living in the dark, but the little electricity we have comes from [oil from] Venezuela," said Cuban Emilio.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel has called on the people to defend the Cuban revolution "with their lives." But most Cubans are focused on day-to-day survival.

"Nothing works here - no lights, no hospitals, no schools, no transportation. Everyone wants something to change," said Cuban Marta Vazquez.
