🇺🇸🇻🇪🇨🇺 TRUMP: A LOT OF CUBANS WERE KILLED” - HAVANA CONFIRMS 32 DEAD AFTER MADURO RAID
"Cuba always survived because of Venezuela, now they won't have the income coming in.
A lot of Cubans were killed yesterday, you know that… the bodyguards.
There was a lot of death on the other side, not on our side.”
Cuba just admitted what Trump was hinting at: 32 Cuban citizens died defending Maduro from US forces, including military bodyguards and intelligence personnel.
Cuban dictator Miguel Díaz-Canel declared 2 days of national mourning.
Cuba has been propping up its failing economy with Venezuelan oil for decades.
Maduro's regime sent cheap oil to Cuba in exchange for military advisers, intelligence operatives, and bodyguards.
It was essentially a protection racket disguised as socialist solidarity.
Those 32 dead Cubans? They were the muscle keeping Maduro in power, and they died trying to stop American forces from taking him.
Now Cuba's facing both a body count and an economic crisis, with its Venezuelan cash cow potentially gone for good.
The question is whether Havana can survive without Caracas bankrolling the regime.
