About this listen
In this episode of We The People, we take a hard, no-nonsense look at U.S.–Cuba relations and the real impact of decades-long sanctions. From the legal foundation of the embargo to the renewed pressure strategy in early 2026, this episode breaks down what authority the United States actually has, what strategic goals sanctions are meant to achieve, and whether they are producing measurable results. We examine Cuba’s worsening energy crisis, prolonged blackouts, and humanitarian suffering, separating political narratives from structural realities that long predate recent policy changes. The discussion also explores the limits of diplomacy, the difference between communication and negotiation, and why “dialogue” alone has failed to move the needle. This episode challenges viewers to ask the harder question: is current pressure being used intelligently, with clear benchmarks and an endgame, or is it simply enduring policy without outcomes? A sober, fact-driven analysis focused on law, strategy, national security, and the human consequences on the Cuban people.
