In this segment Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that Trump’s new executive order targeting Cuba—labeling it an “extraordinary threat” and threatening tariffs on countries supplying it with oil—is a blatant escalation of a decades-long U.S. regime-change strategy. The commentary frames the policy as collective punishment designed to create hunger, blackouts, and desperation among civilians, which critics say violates international law and mirrors tactics used against Venezuela, Iran, and Gaza. The two further contend that Cuba poses no real threat to the United States and that the justification of “terrorism” and “human rights abuses” is recycled imperial rhetoric masking donor-driven foreign policy. They conclude that U.S. policy is controlled by billionaire interests rather than ideology, warning that sanctions and tariff overreach accelerate global de-dollarization and long-term economic decline.
