U.S. Military Blackout of Cuba Is Worse Than You Think

About this video

Max analyzes the intensifying U.S. energy blockade on Cuba, describing how fuel shortages have caused widespread blackouts, halted airline refueling, and triggered what he characterizes as regime survival measures including military mobilization. He explains Cuba’s asymmetric defense doctrine and military capabilities, then walks through a hypothetical scenario of how a naval confrontation between Cuban fast boats and drones versus U.S. carrier forces might unfold.

Key takeaways

• Max describes Cuba’s current energy crisis as result of a U.S. blockade cutting off Venezuelan oil shipments, causing severe fuel rationing and 12-20 hour daily blackouts
• According to Max, Cuba’s defense strategy relies on ‘war of the entire people’ doctrine using asymmetric tactics including guerrilla warfare, swarm boats, drones, and civilian mobilization rather than conventional military strength
• Max outlines how U.S. carrier-based assets including F-18s, Growlers, E-2D Hawkeyes, and ship defenses would counter Cuban fast boat swarms and remaining MiG fighters in a hypothetical kinetic scenario
