As Trump Threatens Invasion, Admin Releases Report Vilifying Cuba and the Left
Published July 20-21, 2026 (byline: Truthout staff).
In the report, officials condemn the dissidence of left-wing figures like Hasan Piker and Zohran Mamdani.
The report, titled "Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism," describes Cuba as a country that "now enjoys something approaching ideological hegemony both within and beyond the West," despite being a "failed state." It casts the island as having waged a decades-long assault on "Western civilization itself" with an eye toward "conquering the neighboring United States."
"Since 1959, Cuba has been — and without fundamental, radical reforms, will always be — less a nation-state than an all-encompassing intelligence and subversion operation, focused around its existential revolution against the United States."
The report names various individuals and organizations as "front groups and fellow travelers" of a "Cuban influence operation."
