Cuba is preparing for possible U.S. military aggression while its people endure repeated nationwide blackouts—conditions worsened by America’s tightened oil blockade, which has crippled fuel access and basic infrastructure. Hospitals lose power. Food spoils. Millions live in darkness—not because of war, but because of U.S. policy choices. And yet, instead of de-escalation, this administration signals further confrontation. We are already overstretched—militarily, economically, and morally—engaged in conflicts we cannot justify and cannot sustain. Opening another front, especially against a nation already in humanitarian crisis, is not strength. It is recklessness. Congress must act now to halt escalation, reassess the blockade, and prevent yet another preventable disaster created in America’s name.
