How the hell have I not heard about this until now. How the hell is this not the second most talked about thing in the country!! I am broken. Our country is blockading Cuba from receiving fuel oil. The country is barely running. Other countries are sending Cuba aid and begging the US to stop killing Cuba.
I am horrified. I'm am fucking horrified. We are being lied to my the news media. All of them. This is a genocide of a people. Our country is committing genocide in our name. What the fuck is going on!!

(9,155 posts)and was sloooooowly being rectified under Obama to a point where we could actually visit Cuba under restrictive conditions. Then the fascists tRumplicons reversed that and are now making it worse. Even before the blockade Cuba was in big trouble with their economy and failing power grid, especially after horrific hurricane damage. Also, strong anti Cuban resistance in Florida by Cuban refugees who love them tRumplican fascists and keep them in power.

Flights and travel resumed, Castros' died and I was hopeful we would be normal.
Then chump! I believe one cause of Pearl Harbor was we cut Japans access to oil and pissed them off.
Cuba may not be Japan, but what will they do when totally desperate?

(10,785 posts)Millions of poor in Cuba will have less food, gas and supplies - just like Venezuela. Hes probably the worst head of government in any country of the world. He cares for no one.
China is installing lots of solar parks & lots of speculation online that Trump wants the military to shoot them down like Israel is doing in Gaza with our blessings.

Max Blumenthal: 'The Venezuelan government has been kidnapped and is doing everything at the point of a gun. Trump is imposing a Gaza-style siege on Cuba.
What we're witnessing is a mafia in action.'

This is happening at the same time the U.S. is economically terrorizing Cuba by blocking all oil from entering the country.
Claudia Sheinbaum and Mexico have sent more than 800 tons in aid to Cuba in defiance of Trump's sadistic orders. The aid includes milk, rice, beans, sardines, meat products, cookies, canned tuna, vegetable oil, and hygiene items
