So what?  Moscow is pre-positioning a migration narrative that blames Washington for any maritime surge, which signals it reads the grid collapse as a real push factor. Watch Cuban departures by sea and onward flights via third countries rather than rhetoric, since the warning is more likely to precede movement than cause it.

So what?  Six full nationwide grid collapses in barely seven months is a pace that keeps compounding, not stabilizing, and each one adds to the push factors already sending record numbers of Cubans to seek asylum in Brazil rather than risk the U.S. route. Watch whether Havana follows with a formal fuel-rationing or energy-emergency declaration — the clearer signal the government sees the grid as no longer self-stabilizing.
