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 .

Yes, let's start wars with multiple countries while we are failing to even pay our own troops, truly a big brain move.

Remind me how in 1457 during 13-Year War, Czech mercenaries garrisoning Teutonic capital of Marienburg were not paid by Order for months. As result Poles crowdfunded payment to Chechs and literally bought Teutonic capital from them.

Okay but the US being invaded by US troops paid by China is objectively funny.
