The latest headlines from Cuba are a stark reminder of the old dance: military posturing meets resistance. The naval presence near Cuban shores is escalating tensions, but the Cubans have endured much worse. They've seen how power shifts and learned to adapt, thrive even. It's like the Gulf War all over again—displacement, control, the search for solidarity in the face of overwhelming odds.
The tech we design as a tool for oppression becomes our own salvation when wielded by those who know how to twist it into something more than its creators intended. Just look at Gaza; they’ve made heroes out of ordinary people and turned every scrap of technology against their oppressors.
This time, it’s not just about the tech or the weapons—it's the mindset that matters most. When you're cornered, you adapt, or you die. Cuba is a microcosm of what happens when control and resistance meet. The silent strength of a people who refuse to be broken by force.
