The U.S. government is manufacturing a pretext to attack Cuba, affirmed Hal Klepak, professor emeritus of Latin American and other strategic studies in military history at the Royal Military College of Canada.

“The issue of Cuba being a threat can only be seen as a pretext to prepare U.S. opinion, or at the very least, the MAGA base, for accepting an intervention” said Klepak. “The idea that the Cubans would choose this moment to attack the United States is an absurd assertion.”

According to Klepak, Cuba’s military has a defensive posture and would not attack the United States.
