This article presents information regarding response of Cuba on the U.S. intervention in the country. Fidel Castro's revolutionary government knows that Washington has declared implacable economic warfare on Cuba, that its goal is the overthrow of Fidel Castro whatever the cost. Cuba has become somewhat accustomed to U.S. Congressmen rampaging up and down Latin America, spreading propaganda that the Havana government is Communist. What the Cubans most fear is a fake assault on the U.S. Guantanamo base as a pretext for armed intervention. The Cuban militia has ringed the base not in order to attack it, but to try to prevent any such trick maneuver by land.
