Advice of this type is common and does not imply that the White House is considering the possibility of authorizing a military operation against the island, pointed out the aforementioned sources, who assured that among the possible scenarios analyzed is an air assault led by the Army’s 101st Airborne Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These analyses are usually organized by the Department of Defense and the commands in charge of combat operations, and they examine mission objectives, the number of troops required, the sequencing of events, logistical considerations, or associated risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rubio has opted for achieving a government transition in Cuba<\/a> with a new temporary executive branch led by technocrats and willing to implement economic reforms, and to that end, he has activated a financial pressure campaign with new sanctions on the Cuban military apparatus and its conglomerate, Gaesa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, last weekend, the Secretary of Defense asserted that, to date, the regime and its “corrupt elites” continue to refuse to reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
