The United States, under the Trump administration, is implementing a 'Rose Bomber' strategy against Cuba. Amidst a severe oil blockade that is crippling Cuba's economy, Washington is now delivering humanitarian aid by plane to hundreds of thousands of Cubans. The aid flights, organized from Miami, are seen as a calculated move to both provide relief to the Cuban people and publicly humiliate the communist government by highlighting its inability to provide for its citizens. The article analyzes the multiple strategic considerations behind this new U.S. policy, which combines economic pressure with targeted humanitarian assistance to undermine the Cuban regime.
