Former U.S. National Security Adviser General Mike Flynn caused an international stir by stating on social media that “Cuba is next ,” after expressing his support for Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado and the Venezuelan people.

The message, published on the X platform with the phrase “ You're next ,” was interpreted by analysts as a nod to a possible political change on the island , following recent calls for freedom in several countries in the Caribbean and Latin America.

Flynn, one of Donald Trump's closest former officials , has maintained a critical stance toward authoritarian regimes in the region and has reiterated his support for movements seeking to restore democracy in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

The post generated mixed reactions: while some users celebrated the message as a show of solidarity with oppressed peoples, others considered it a political provocation. The Cuban government has not yet issued an official statement .

Looking at this from the bright side, workers worldwide are in a better positions and are way more connected than before to fight back the fascists/imperialists.

Cultivating solidarity among the oppressed is what keeps the imperialist beast from enacting their worst blood thirsty fantasies. From my side, I can confidently say that Marco Rubio and their Miami Fascists will be defeated in Latin America but our western comrades have to defeat them at home with protests and agitation.

We will win.
