‘The truth is Cuba has already fallen’: the United States’ strategy to subdue the island

(October 2, 2026)

“The president says anything and Marco Rubio finds himself in a very difficult position to react to what he says,” says Andy Gómez, the former director of the Cuban and Cuban American Studies Institute at the University of Miami, who helped shape a policy proposal for U.S.-Cuba relations in the Obama era. “The scene is like a soap opera, a soap opera lived every day in Miami and in Cuba. There is a major global problem with the war with Iran, for which no solution is in sight; so Cuba has had to wait.”

We Are All Living at the Mercy of Donald Trump’s Brain

(August 18, 2026)

And in truth, whatever happens as far as Iran is concerned (or for that matter Greenland) by the time this piece appears, who among us won’t have long known that, with such a president, we simply couldn’t be in a stranger, more happenstantial, less predictable universe? For all I (we) know, by the time it comes out or anytime thereafter, “our” president could be doing more or less anything, including, say, kidnapping the first secretary of the communist party and leader of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. After all, if he could do so for Venezuela’s leader, why not Cuba’s?

The truth is that Donald Trump’s brain, returned to the White House by 49.8% of American voters in 2024, should make us all anxious (even them). At any moment, any thought might enter it and the next thing you know… well, unfortunately, you already do know that, whatever it might be, we’re not likely to know until it smacks us all in the face!

Trump suggests letting Iran ‘take out’ Los Angeles and San Diego at campaign rally

Trump said he wanted to “see a tremendous victory” in the November election, “’cause it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember, with the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high.”

“It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe,” he continued. “They can take out a city, let ’em take out Los Angeles, let ’em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay.”

The crowd cheered.

Europas Rechte leckt Trump die Stiefel

Es zeigt sich: Immer wieder haben sich gerade jene Parteien, die behaupten, die Nation an die erste Stelle setzen zu wollen, als die eifrigsten Verräter der Interessen ihres eigenen Volkes erwiesen. Sich mit Trump und Netanjahu gut zu stellen, scheint schlichtweg wichtiger.

In diesem Sinne kuschelt sich die radikale Rechte auch eng an das liberal-konservative Establishment in den europäischen Institutionen. Tatsächlich hat sich die einstige Kluft zwischen diesen beiden Fraktionen seit Jahren stetig verringert. Die jüngsten Kriegshandlungen in Nahost machen diese Annäherung noch deutlicher sichtbar. Beide Seiten sind nur allzu gerne bereit, ihre Rolle als Untergebene in der globalen Hierarchie zu spielen.

With ‘Blood-Soaked War Criminal’ Set to Land in Mamdani’s NYC, Calls Grow to Arrest Netanyahu

In July, a YouGov poll found that 49% of Americans believed the US government should arrest Netanyahu under the warrant, 27% said it should not, and 23% were unsure.

President Donald Trump stated earlier this summer that Netanyahu “will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form” while visiting the US. His administration’s position, as stated in a February 2025 executive order, is that Netanyahu can’t be arrested. The ICC, it says, “has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel” because, unlike most other nations, neither is a party to the Rome Statute, which created the court.

Trump’s approval plunges into the 20s, and Republicans give up

An American Research Group poll published this week found Trump’s approval at just 29 percent — a new low for his presidency and a flashing warning sign for the congressional Republicans being dragged beneath the waves by the president’s plummeting popularity.

Bombs loaded, targets picked: Why Trump pulled back from striking Houthis

There is another crucial consideration: the Houthis have so far avoided attacking American ships under an understanding reached with Washington.

Trump told Fox News on Sunday that the United States remained in communication with the group and said the Houthis had agreed not to fight the US.

A senior Houthi official separately told AP that the group did not intend to target American vessels. Oman-mediated discussions have also reaffirmed the 2025 US-Houthi ceasefire arrangement.

Trump called off planned US strikes on Houthis at last minute: Report

Trump initially resisted launching airstrikes during meetings with advisers Wednesday but later ordered the Pentagon to prepare for military action following a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Thursday, the report said.

The Saudi crown prince urged Trump to intervene directly amid rapid territorial gains by the Houthis in Yemen, according to the newspaper.

Trump plans to form ‘AI Force,’ appoint ‘AI Czar’

The president compared his proposed “AI Force” to the Space Force, which he established during his first term, but did not elaborate on how the agency would operate or what its duties would entail.

For the new “AI Czar” position, Trump said, “Only High I.Q. individuals need to apply!” He did not expand further on the latest iteration of the role.

Trump returns to White House earlier than expected

The administration did not give a reason for the change of plans. Trump was originally scheduled to depart Camp David later on Sunday local time.

(…)

Trump’s return to the White House came after the US State Department issued an alert to US citizens in the Middle East, warning that hostilities between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen have “the potential to escalate rapidly”.

Trump strikes Greenland deal with Denmark after threatening annexation

(Updated 1 hr 49 min ago)

“The United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, going on to call the arrangement “an ‘Infinite Life’ Agreement.”

Trump’s announcement Friday means Greenland remains under Danish control and came ahead of the official text being released. It is unclear how far this agreement differs from an existing 1951 pact between the US and Denmark that allowed broad US military presence in Greenland.

U.S. State Department Must Reverse Decision to Ban Palestine Delegation from Attending UNGA Session in New York

“The decision by the U.S. State Department to deny visas to a high-level delegation of the State of Palestine to attend the 81st session of the UN General Assembly must be reversed. The State Department’s statement makes it obvious: this decision is designed to punish the State of Palestine for pursuing international justice and accountability at international institutions, including through the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ). This measure is part of a relentless campaign of reprisals against the very notion of international justice.

US blocks Palestinians‘ Abbas from attending UN meeting, for second year in a row

The U.S. has denied Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas an entry ‌visa to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York next week, extending a ban in place since last year, a Palestinian official familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
Without naming specific officials, the State Department said on Wednesday it would extend visa sanctions against Palestinian officials over actions they took to „internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,“ including pursuing cases against Israel at international tribunals.

Judge orders Trump to give 30-day notice before any demolition of Kennedy Center

A federal judge effectively blocked President Donald Trump from taking immediate action to demolish the Kennedy Center, ordering on Sept. 17 that the center provide a 30-day notice to plaintiffs before any demolition or other major changes to the center‘s main building can begin.

It means the legality of any attempt to demolish the Kennedy Center ‒ which Trump has argued is necessary without substantial renovations ‒ would likely be subject to the judge‘s review during the 30-day period.

Bernie Sanders urges Trump, Xi to negotiate treaty to pause advanced AI

“When the future of humanity is at stake, we need a PAUSE on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence — an AI mind smarter than any human and capable of operating independently beyond our control,” Sanders said.

The US Senator further said: “At their upcoming AI summit, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.”

A fateful turning point for humanity and AI could redefine American politics

If a terrorist threat led subject experts to warn of a near-term existential menace to humanity, the weight of the US government would mobilize in an immediate and limitless effort to save the day.

Yet a remarkable sequence of warnings by leaders of artificial intelligence firms that their creation may soon outpace humans’ capacity to control it has so far been met with a shrug by Republicans who run Washington.

You Could Be Next: Trump’s Gestapo Tactics Are Getting Worse

You might even be murdered, without a trial finding you guilty of anything. In addition to Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota last January, ICE agents have murdered two others just this summer.

One was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, murdered by ICE in Houston on July 7, 2026. Salgado Araujo had lived in the US for decades. ICE agents pursued him in unmarked cars and shot him while he was driving a work crew to a job site. The Department of Homeland Security claims Salgado Araujo tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against an officer, but witnesses dispute this account.

The other was Johan Sebastian Durán Guerrero, murdered by ICE on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine. Durán Guerrero was a 25-year-old immigrant from Colombia. Agents pursued him while he was driving to work. The Department of Homeland Security claims its agent feared for public safety as Durán Guerrero tried to drive away, but elected officials and family members dispute this account, noting that Durán Guerrero was not an intended target of the immigration operation.

None of these murders has been fully investigated.
