The Trump administration has already cut off Cuba’s access to oil. Now it’s attempting to starve the Cuban people, targeting the country’s capacity to grow, process, and import food — unless it buys from US corporations.

    Christ on a stick, what the hell did they ever do to deserve this kind of collective punishment??? This is insanity.

      No, this is genocide. We’ve moved from supporting genocide to engaging in it. And next it will come for dissenters.

      I think the US is just bitter. They had a thing going there; Castro ended it. Cuban government took US assets. Cuban government would later partner with the soviets, including the whole nuke thing.

      I was really hopeful the Obama policies would turn Cuba into just another Caribbean island, but here we are. I don’t know much.

      Edit: So in short, they’re really close to the US and not aligned with the US politically, which is a problem. And you might say the same about Canada or Mexico but it’s on a completely different scale.
