Show Notes

In March 2026, a Russian oil tanker quietly entered Cuban waters — and President Trump told reporters he had "no problem with it." No press conference. No policy statement. Just sixty-four years of the most sustained economic embargo in modern history stepping aside for a single geopolitical signal between Washington and Moscow.

But this isn't just a story about one ship. It's a story about how the Caribbean has always been used as a chessboard by great powers — and how Caribbean people have always had to survive moves they never made.
