[a video on Peertube about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) confronted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week over his role in the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” Cuba strategy.

“You cut off all the oil to Cuba," she said. “You’re starving the families, you’re starving the children.”

Since May, Bessent’s Treasury has sanctioned Cuba’s state-owned oil and gas company, fuel distributors and entities that import equipment needed to keep the island’s energy sector running.

“You don’t have to be cruel,” she told Bessent.

Watch Rep. Waters’s full remarks.

She's right. This makes the nixon administration look like Obama. He's gonna be a right wing hooker. Blowing industrialists for the rest of his sad pathetic life while history will write about his cruelty and his children will be shunned from society.
