DS: You made a point in a Facebook post on March 27 that “our generation may have the responsibility to defend the revolution with arms in hand.” What is the possibility of that?

EL: Well, the risk today is very strong. On a personal level, I have the perception that they cannot venture into armed aggression against Cuba while they focus on the Middle East, while their war on Iran is burning.

Therefore, the country is preparing. We are preparing for an armed aggression, and they will never forget our response.

Everything points to the fact that my generation is going to have to defend the revolution with arms in hand. They will never forget the blow we are going to give them. I have no doubt it is going to be another Vietnam, a re-edition of Vietnam; it’s going to take them years before they are able to get involved in another aggression again.
