"I demand my AKM, if they come. And let it be known that I mean it, Rodriguez wrote in his personal blog, Segunda Cita, as originally reported by Agence France-Presse. The remarks were in response to the warning issued Tuesday by President Miguel Diaz-Canal to Donald Trump: Any external aggressor will encounter an indomitable resistance in Cuba."
"Rodriguez's comment appears on his blog titled Cuba at the crossroads of hypocritical multilateralism, which denounces the suffocation suffered by the island and its population due to the economic embargo imposed by Washington and the recent blockade ordered by Trump, which is stifling the local economy and plunging the country into darkness due to constant and increasingly prolonged blackouts."
"Cuba suffered the harsh impact of the USSR's collapse in 1992, which plunged it into a deep economic crisis that led Fidel Castro's government to implement painful adjustments during the so-called Special Period. Cuba now faces a new crisis due to the embargo imposed by Trump."
Silvio Rodriguez, a renowned Cuban singer-songwriter, issued a statement on his personal blog declaring readiness for armed resistance should military action occur against Cuba. His remarks responded to President Miguel Diaz-Canal's warning to Donald Trump about Cuba's indomitable resistance to external aggression. Rodriguez's blog post critiques the economic embargo imposed by Washington and Trump's recent blockade, which has devastated Cuba's economy through fuel shortages, blackouts, and lack of food and medicine. The statement references Cuba's historical dependence on Soviet support from 1960-1990 and the severe economic crisis following the USSR's collapse in 1992. International solidarity efforts, including medical supply convoys, have mobilized in response to Cuba's humanitarian crisis.
