US Policy Shift: Understanding the Systemic Drivers of Regime Change in Cuba
Original framing: “Trump wants to overthrow the Cuban president” — Al Jazeera
It situates the Trump administration's move within a broader U.S. pattern of isolating leftist regimes in the Americas, invoking the Cold‑War legacy of containment. However, it stops short of deeper historical parallels such as the 1959 revolution or earlier U.S. interventions in the Caribbean.
The article foregrounds a U.S. policy pivot toward regime change while largely overlooking Indigenous, artistic, and marginalized Cuban voices, limiting its analytical depth.
Historical context is invoked but not fully explored, and future scenarios are hinted at without robust modelling. Integrating cross‑cultural insights, transparent civil‑society support, and regional diplomatic mechanisms can transform a coercive strategy into a collaborative pathway that respects Cuba's sovereignty and addresses systemic drivers of instability.
