Historic moment in Cuba. It’s interesting to see all of this unfolding while Trump is in Beijing. None of this scenario would likely have been possible without Maduro’s capture.

Trump responded to China’s message on Cuba by sharing a map showing Venezuela as a US territory. Less than a year ago, Venezuela was seeking BRICS membership. Now Washington is openly joking about making it the 51st state. Beyond the rhetoric, it's an interesting message to China

Before Trump heads to China, the spokesperson for the CCP criticized the United States over its Cuba policy. Trump also said that he plans to talk to Cuba after his China trip. It appears that Cuba will become one of the key discussion topics during this visit.

Through the new military agreement, Russia reinforced the message that Managua is not internationally isolated. In return, Nicaragua continues to provide Russia with a politically useful foothold in Central America and a reminder to Washington that Russia retains influence in the region. americasquarterly.org/article/what-n…

The ICJ is moving toward a ruling Venezuela has already declared void. It will likely not change realities on the ground,where Venezuela continues to claim Essequibo. The dispute will remain. I wonder whether Trump'll be more involved since he considers making 🇻🇪 51st state soon!

@imdat_oner I can’t even, Imdat. Well, playing his game, he can start by stopping the deportations and persecution of soon-to-be new citizens... no?

U.S. officials believe the regime could fall by the end of the year, but that timeline isn’t fast enough for Trump. In response, the Pentagon began updating plans for a possible military action against Cuba in the event he orders one. nbcnews.com/politics/white…
