    Why is the US attacking Cuba (a sovereign nation that they are starving of oil for no reason other than our president is a cunt)?

      Florida votes.

      All the shit Castro scraped off the shoe of Cuba is in Miami and they want Cuba back to the shithole it was before the revolution. The fact that a poorer country has better health care than the US really pisses off Republicans.

      Like every other nearby country (Greenland, Venesuela, Canada, Trump wants to be in the history books for “Trump added the state of Cuba!” Instead of “Pedophile Trump was the worst person and President ever.”

      Also “CoMuNiSm BaD” derrangement.

    This was obvious the moment that the US ramped up its blockade to deprive Cuba of energy. The plan is to destroy Cuban society. The indictment of Raul Castro is an excuse for more kidnappings or a decapitation strike targeting Cuban leadership.

    The US has managed to split Cuba from its allies through threats and bullying and the kidnapping of Venezuela’s president. Mexico stopped trading with Cuba months ago, even though it’s also on the chopping block (as the US has repeatedly threatened to invade Mexico under the guise of a drug war). Cuba has wasted the last 60 years exporting doctors and peacefully making diplomatic relations, when they should have been developing nuclear weapons.

    If Latin America wants peace, they should draw up defensive treaties, move as a block and stand up to the US. Had Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico, Honduras, Colombia, and Cuba created such a military block they would be at war with the US (which is targeting leaders from all of these countries), but they would have the empire fighting on all fronts in an overt war, vs being picked off individually as they are now. Everyone stands aside, hoping they won’t be next. The US has proven that it plans to make every single country in Latin America a US puppet. There’s no negotiating with this sort of terrorism.
