what the US is doing to Cuba right now is one of the most barbaric crimes in its history.

And because all of this shit they have been throwing on the Cuba, they can claim socialism doesn’t work.
I would say resisting 66 years of unceasing hybrid warfare from the biggest superpower in the world right next door is pretty good sign of resilient and working system.

I hope and pray that the Cuban people stand together and persevere. May this be the final nail in the empire of evil.

The fact that there has not been a unified Latin American defence coalition against the US formed is crazy to me. Us in the USA want (and more desperately need) liberation from our leadership.
Isn't that why usa/cia do so much to keep them disablized?
B-b-b-bingo

I think, based on conversations I have with people in real life and read online, that the people in the US haven't challenged the 60 years of propaganda about Cuba, and believe it a totalitarian nightmare dictatorship.
I have a close friend who went to Cuba for ecological research (did you know they still have intact reefs) a few years ago, and when they would tell people they were going to Cuba, the most common reaction was a fearful "that's scary" and a confused, almost accusatory "why".
I don't think they realize that everyone else can just go to Cuba, it's only the blue US passport and a bunch of old white guys, and probably now more Cuban Americans, with their fear of communism and land reform stopping them from enjoying a very nice bottle of state owned rum and an experience of how other people live.
I'm glad other countries have been stepping up to help the people there, the Cuban people deserve happy and comfortable lives, and we clearly don't have the appetite to stop starving them of that right now. Until we shake that propagandized view, I don't imagine that will change either.
Obama I think floated an end to the shitbaggery during his second term. Like anything he proposed, it was stonewalled.
I think he actually lifted the travel embargo and aimed to normalize relations but the bazillionaires and still angry exbazillionaire diaspora faces started melting so 2016 was the end of that.
I had no problem with Cuba. Nice place to visit in winter. No Americans.
Ebough damage has been done in these last decades. This is dangerously becoming a full blown USA genocide of the Cuban people. It's unacceptable.
For those who say it's a hoax, look up videos of any Cuban on YouTube and turn on the subtitles.
What the US is doing right now? It goes further back...
America: ill do it again
