Cuba is a crime scene.
The United States Empire strangled its economy with a cruel tyrannical economic blockade that began in 1960. President Donald J. Trump's decision to falsely label Cuba a state sponsor of terror makes it difficult for foreigners to visit without being accused of material support for terrorism.
The people of Cuba are hungry & desperate.
Our Politicians enjoy the suffering of others. It's one of their favorite regime change tactics.
The U.S. Department of State, & it's lying Secretary, Marco Rubio, accuse the Cuban government of taking away the freedom of the people & making them poor. But it's the United States Ruling Class, the largest & most powerful global military empire in history, that is hurting Cubans, wrecking thousands of small businesses there, and taking away the freedom of the Cuban people to control their own country.
If you listen to the rhetoric of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, they claim the freedom to trade, to engage in commerce, is a fundamental freedom. Yet that is one of the rights being taken away by Donald J. Trump. Another is freedom of speech. Foreigners publicly critical of the world's largest purveyor of violence, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), are denied entry to the United States, effectively silencing millions of people who object to unjust wars, crimes against humanity, & genocide, in which the United States Empire is complicit.
"After 14 years of a Western economic blockade and dirty war, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the state of the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party and the deposed president Bashar Al-Assad بشار الأسد collapsed last December 8th. While there were many factors at play in this long international proxy war on Syria, quite simply the Syrian people were worn down by well-armed Al-Qaeda offshoots backed by Türkiye, Israel and the U.S. After losing over 128,000 SAA troops since 2011 and hundreds of thousands of civilians, the country of some 30,000,000 people with some 14,000,000 refugees fell to the forces of colonialism, Zionism and barbarism. Syrian SAA soldiers were only making $40 a month and often could not even be paid. The rebranded Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), ISIS fighters were making thousands of dollars per month thanks to their imperialist backers. 90 percent of Syrians endured poverty and hunger due to the U.S.-led hybrid war.
Minus the bombs and ISIS cutouts, Cuba is up against a similar reality. Argentinian sociologist Atilio Borón, analyzing the impact of Western sanctions on South American and Caribbean countries, explained that hunger was more dangerous than any bomb imperialism could drop on the Bolivarian nations. Keenly aware of an air-tight blockade inflicting acute hunger and despair on the 11,000,000 people of Cuba, Cuba supporters and internationalists have a responsibility to ask: Before the most powerful empire in history, how much longer can the revolution hold on?"
