President Miguel Díaz-Canel used his social media to make it clear that, despite the 90 kilometers separating Cuba from Florida, the island has never launched an offensive action against the United States. The president emphasized that his country does not represent a threat nor seeks to challenge Washington, although he assured that there is also no fear of historical tensions. The statement aims to clear up doubts about Havana's defensive posture.
Cybersecurity and patience: the island's technological weapons 🛡️
In a context where technology defines borders, Cuba maintains a cyberdefense posture with no documented offensive capability. Experts point out that the island's digital infrastructure, limited by the embargo, focuses on protecting its government servers and preventing intrusions. While powers like the U.S. invest in cyber armies, Havana prioritizes early detection systems and basic encryption. The digital divide remains a key factor preventing any real technical escalation from the Caribbean.
Cheap missiles vs. the Pentagon: a story of neighbors 😂
Meanwhile, on social media, some users joke about the idea that Cuba could launch an attack with rubber rafts or with son songs. The reality is that the most powerful army on the planet seems more worried about a hurricane than an offensive from the island. Díaz-Canel is right: there is no fear, but there is also nothing to fight with. At least, Cubans can boast of having better beaches and cheaper rum than their northern neighbors.
