The Jimmy Dore Show · The Real Reason U.S. Wants To Crush Cuba! w/ Christian Parenti · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

are removing the blockade and the sanctions.

And we're going to take advantage of these laws that you've passed that allow our.

corporations and citizens to invest in Cuba you know and for private enterprises to grow you know like one law that they changed recently was there was a cap on a hundred employees private companies could couldn't have more than 100 employees I think after that point they had to

basically go into business with the state.

There had to be some partial state ownership.

So now it's like the lid is off on that.

If you invest in Cuba as a private entrepreneur, you can probably grow your business quite a bit.

Politically, what would make the Trump administration do that?

I don't know.

Maybe realizing that they can't win in Cuba, that they could invade and they could occupy, but that it's not all about socialism.

it's also about this nationalism.

It's about sovereignty.

It's about this like, you know, plucky little chip on the shoulder, you know, American hemisphere thing, this thing that like the countries of the Americas have of having thrown off English or Spanish, you know, colonialism and wanting to, to be independent republics.

And that is,

seems to be alive and well in Cuba.

The Cuban people and the Cuban government do not seem prepared to go back to the days when they were a de facto colony, when the US had direct control over much of their crucial economic decisions and all that.

I think so.

The dangerous thing is, I think, that they might be.

And of course, that Trump has this pattern of escaping crisis A by starting crisis B and then C and then D and then E, you know, just like.

So things are not going well with the whole Iran thing.
