A former architect of U.S. Latin American policy has placed three military options against Cuba into public view, not as a call to action, but as a sober accounting of what action might cost. Writing in The Economist, Richard Feinberg reminds us that the distance between capability and wisdom is often where history's gravest miscalculations are made. Cuba, shaped by decades of revolutionary narrative and geographic particularity, is not a problem that yields easily to force — and the current drumbeat of economic and diplomatic pressure may itself be the strategy, not merely its prelude.

Ex-NSC official outlines three problematic U.S. military options against Cuba amid Trump administration pressure, with all scenarios deemed high-risk due to Cuba's geography and political structure.
Shift toward U.S. assertiveness in Western Hemisphere under Trump administration; comparison to Venezuela strategy suggests potential regional destabilization; Cuba's resistance capability and geographic isolation complicate U.S. dominance; possible realignment of regional actors responding to U.S. pressure tactics.
Echoes Bay of Pigs invasion planning (1961) and Cold War-era regime change attempts; mirrors recent Venezuela pressure campaign (2019-2023) but with acknowledged geographic and structural differences making Cuba a more difficult target.
