**Submission Statement:** Cuba running out of oil would put them on the verge of socio-economic collapse. Havana no longer gets a stable supply of energy from Russia, Venezuela or Mexico. The island nation already faces daily blackouts that average from 15 to 19 hours a day. In less than a month, Cuba can see a total energy grid collapse & 24 hour blackouts unless energy imports resume (unlikely). As a result, Havana would have to institute extreme rationing and we could see mass protests erupt. The Administration seems to hope that the combination of socio-economic catastrophe and mass protests could destabilize the regime & lead to its downfall.

The Cuban Dynasty needs to go, they have been notoriously slow in implementing free press and market reforms even if you discount their totalitarianism and human rights violations.
However, I don’t trust this administration with rectifying the situation at all. The Cuban Opposition to the current standing regime is way less coordinated than Venezuela’s. There isn’t a known figure like Guaido to fill in the gaps of governance.
