Cuban exiles in Miami say 'this is the end' for communism as island teeters on collapse
Nationwide blackouts left 10 million without power as Trump says he expects the 'honor' of 'taking Cuba in some form'

MIAMI, Florida – There’s growing unrest in Cuba as the communist government struggles to deal with island-wide blackouts and a collapsing economy. As President Donald Trump alludes to change on the island, the Cuban community in Miami is left wondering what is next.

The island has experienced 67 years of authoritarian rule where the Communist Party of Cuba is the only legal party. Last week, protesters attacked a Communist Party headquarters on the island overnight, ransacking the building and attempting to set it on fire, according to local reports.

"The protesters are more brave today than before," said Jose Collazo, a Cuban migrant who left the island in the 1960's. "But if you remember four years ago when they came out, they were brutally repressed."

Collazo often spends time at Domino Park in the heart of Little Havana, a neighborhood in Miami with a large population of Cuban immigrants. He and other Cuban Americans meet up for friendly — but highly competitive — games of dominoes and to discuss current affairs.

Lately, there's been a lot of chatter about the situation in Cuba. On Monday, a nationwide power grid collapse left roughly 10 million people without electricity, according to U.S. Embassy statements and Cuban authorities. Cuban officials have said the outages are linked to fuel shortages and failures at aging power plants.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:16-18

Domino Park in Miami (SW 8th St. - Calle Ocho)

I took this photo last June, I think. Praying for a free Cuba!
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

I don't think Cubans want the US to fight their war for them.  That hasn't changed in the 67 year history of the Castroite reign.  Maybe some air support, which is tardy about 67 years....
I don’t owe tolerance to people who disagree with my existence.
I will NOT comply.
