Despite a deep economic crisis and intensified US pressure, the Cuban regime has not fallen, and the market sees no imminent collapse—the real story is the regime's continued resilience rather than a sudden overthrow.

What's driving it

• The Atlantic Council (Jul 9) notes the state-run economy's collapse is 'years in the making,' implying a slow decline rather than a sudden regime fall.
• The Hill (May 16) and NBC News (May 11) report ongoing US pressure and Trump's impatience, but the regime has not yet yielded, reinforcing the No case.
• The Raúl Castro indictment (WaPo, May 21) is a symbolic legal move but has not triggered broader defections or unrest, keeping odds low for Yes.

The case for YES

• The cumulative economic collapse described by the Atlantic Council (Jul 9) could reach a tipping point by year-end, forcing regime change.
• Trump's growing impatience (NBC, May 11) may lead to harsher sanctions or covert action that destabilizes the government.
• The indictment of Raúl Castro (WaPo, May 21) signals a weakening of the old guard, potentially opening the door for internal power struggles.

The case for NO

• The regime has survived decades of crisis and maintains a strong security apparatus, with no organized opposition capable of seizing power.
• The Hudson Institute (Jun 8) warns of the perils of a Cuban collapse, implying that even analysts see it as a future risk, not an immediate event.
• No headline reports mass protests, military defections, or a clear trigger for regime change in the near term.

What to watch

• 2026-08-01: Potential new US sanctions or executive orders (direction: Yes, if sanctions escalate).
• 2026-09-15: Cuban National Assembly session or economic reform announcement (direction: No, if reforms; Yes, if no reforms).
• 2026-10-01: Any major protest or high-level defection (direction: Yes).
