In this sense, I think the disregard for Cuba's historical situation vis-à-vis the United States beyond the ill-fated Bay of Pigs operation or the Missile Crisis is revealing. There has been a significant double standard in the application of a sustained policy of maximum pressure towards the island since 1959 by the United States. The narrative is that successive Cuban, mainly Castro-run governments since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution have curtailed freedoms and mismanaged the republic, and there is certainly some, or quite a lot, of that. However, the political and economic development of the island has been intimately linked to U.S. aggressiveness. How can a country without great resources be sustained when it is subjected to the most comprehensive sanctions regime applied by Washington in the whole world, and also bombarded by CIA-, USAID-, Foggy Bottom-, and NED-backed influence operations? Or what about the insane designation of Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terrorism?

Yes, the goal of the controllers of the current iteration of Empire is to oppress any other possible powerbase until such time as it can be completely taken over.
In that sense, the primary terrorists on Earth are the banking cartels and their associates that are calling the shots behind the scenes - whereever they are able to.
I was just doing some reading on Cuba the other day because GPT thought it needed to insert its opinions when I was looking up the vote on separating Palestine. Not many votes against, and Cuba was one of them.
