And It Is Still Trying to Destroy America from Within

The State Department dropped a report that pulls no punches on Cuba. Titled along the lines of the capital of 21st-century communism, it lays out decades of systematic subversion, espionage, human rights abuses, and ideological warfare directed at the United States. This is not ancient history. The regime in Havana remains an active enemy—training radicals, running spies, hosting foreign intelligence operations, and exporting anti-American poison while its own people starve under communist failure. The document confirms what hard experience has shown: Cuba never stopped being a hostile base of operations against American interests.

Top Ten Takeaways from the Report

  1. Decades of continuous subversion. The regime has waged a sustained campaign of political, ideological, and institutional warfare against the United States for nearly seven decades. It treats America as the permanent enemy.
  2. Deep penetration of U.S. institutions. Cuban intelligence has successfully placed agents and assets inside the U.S. government at high levels. Historical cases of long-term moles illustrate the depth of the problem, and the report signals ongoing efforts.
  3. Active influence operations on American soil. Havana cultivates and directs networks of activists, students, intellectuals, and organizations inside the United States to promote radical leftism, anti-Americanism, and domestic division.
  4. Export of revolutionary violence. Cuba has long served as a training ground and logistical hub for leftist militants and terrorist groups across the hemisphere, with the explicit goal of undermining U.S. security and regional stability.
  5. Systematic human rights repression. The regime holds hundreds of political prisoners, crushes dissent, surveils religious leaders, and maintains total control over speech, assembly, and movement. Its own people are hostages.
  6. Military control of the economy. The Cuban armed forces and a small circle of regime elites dominate key economic sectors, siphoning resources while ordinary Cubans face shortages of food, medicine, and electricity.
  7. Partnership with America’s adversaries. Cuba hosts expanding Chinese signals intelligence facilities that improve Beijing’s ability to monitor U.S. military and commercial activity across the region.
  8. Ideological warfare as core strategy. The regime does not distinguish between traditional spying, propaganda, and street activism. All are tools in a single long-term campaign to turn America against itself.
  9. Continued targeting of U.S. policy and infrastructure. Recent plans linked to Cuban-influenced networks have included coordinated actions against military bases, immigration facilities, and federal buildings.
  10. No genuine reform under the current system. Economic crisis has not produced political opening. The regime tightens control, seeks external lifelines from hostile powers, and doubles down on anti-American objectives.

Why Cuba Remains an Enemy of the United States

Cuba is not a normal country that simply disagrees with U.S. policy. It is a communist dictatorship that defines itself by opposition to the United States. Its founding project under Castro was explicit: export Marxist revolution, support America’s enemies, and serve as a forward base for Soviet, and later Chinese and Russian, power projection in the Western Hemisphere.

That mission never ended. The regime still runs intelligence operations against the United States. It still trains and inspires radicals who seek to destabilize American society. It still denies basic freedoms to its own citizens while demanding legitimacy from the free world. It still partners with Beijing on intelligence infrastructure ninety miles from Florida. Economic collapse and mass emigration have not softened the leadership’s hostility. They have only made Havana more dependent on America’s strategic competitors.

Engagement experiments failed because the regime’s core identity is anti-American. Sanctions, exposure, and pressure remain the only language it understands. The latest report is a necessary reminder: Cuba is not a victim. It is a persistent, calculated adversary that has never abandoned the goal of weakening the United States from within and without. America First policy treats it as such.
