“There’s an embargo. There’s no oil. There’s no money. There’s no anything.”

Where is Congress?! Getting ready to applaud him at the SOTU?

60+ years of loyalty to the Republicans got them nothing in the end.

Do we honestly think that the first Cuban American Secretary of State would allow a genocide to occur in Cuba? Do we think the Cuban community in Miami would not freak out? I think I'll wait until I see this on CNN or MS Now.

"Deeply racist?" Nope.

"Pro Baby eating?" Wuuut?

Our news media isn't talking about this but the international community is talking about it...a lot. Mexico has already shipped them an emergency assistance and Canada and a couple of others are putting aid packages together.

You didn't have to believe me, Google it.

"baby eating" is in reference to the Epstein files. They were eating babies. For some reason the news media ignores that. Just like they ignore everything else this administration is doing.

Genocide or not, I think most people hear "Cuba", then think "Soviet puppet", "communism", and maybe "JFK/Missile Crisis", then move on with life.

Some might still actually remember we have an infamous prison and military base there. Boat People somethingorother rings a bell, maybe? Some dolt pipes in that Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights was set there, and that hey have "Cool old American cars" there. Beyond that? Meh. Too much else to worry about and keep track of.

It's sad because Cuba has a lot to offer, and there are strong family ties between our nations.

Maybe this is being done to push his buttons, or as retaliation for him making fun of TSF's little hands in the 2016 campaign....

He supports the current actions. I've even read that there is talk of him being installed as the US imposed leader of Cuba.
Their ultimate objective is to turn Cuba into maga inspired political hellscape.

The 1950's Cuba that is the reason they are what they are today!

Cuba in the 1950s was characterized by the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, widespread corruption, and extreme inequality, with Havana serving as a luxurious tourist hub for American gambling and organized crime. The decade was defined by escalating political unrest, culminating in the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro, which overthrew Batista on January 1, 1959.

HIs ancestors and much of the Miami Cuban elite are descendant from the Batista class who fled when Castro came to power. They long for those "glory" days and are natural Trump supporters.

I had not considered. Thank you for that

It's going to fucking backfire. The INSTANT that regime falls, everything that floats will be headed north to Miami, and if the FBI doesn't already have a field office set up in Havana, the only thing headed south will be the world's organized crime syndicates.

It'll look like the Soviet Union after the collapse, but completely WITHOUT the pretentious niceties of Wall Street.
Every penny, both in and out, will

"pro baby eating." Even "pro child abuse" is way beyond exaggeration.

The news media is absolutely pro baby eating because they are refusing to talk about it. They are absolutely pro child sexual assault because they barely talk about it.

In other countries people have already been arrested. People have already been fired. In countries from India to tht UK they are likely going to have rebuild their governments because people are going to lose their jobs.

In the US? We have one lady that might resign by the end of June. Another, Larry Summers, that appears to be resigning in a couple of months or so. Another guy that resigned from his Atlanta agency but is now being politely asked to resign as the chair of the 2028 US summer Olympics chairman. No word if he has or not.
The DOJ is refusing to release over three million files with the stupidest of excuses. Little to no pushback. Still no explanation for all the redactions in the files they have released.
Again, barely any pushback. A little grumbling but that's it.
House Republicans were ordered by Mango Mussolini not to ask Pam Bondi any questions about the files and they were all more than willing to be complicit in the crimes and not ask any questions about them.

So yes, the news media and most of Congress are completely good with child rape and baby eaters.

If you read those files and experience anything other than unadulterated rage than I have no time for that.

We. Are. Not. Angry. Enough.

This hideous administration and their enablers must be destroyed.

Even rolling blackouts which they are quite used to in Cuba does not equal genocide

But go ahead and believe what you want. I'm sure it's perfectly normal for multiple countries openly demanding the US stop it's oil embargo and sending emergency assistance to Cuba have misunderstood the situation. Someone should call them immediately and let them know that it's not a big deal.

People who survived the Holocaust probably would not appreciate the comparison.

Hospitals are out of fuel and people are dying. It's also a little more that the typical rolling outages. Some parts of the island have been without power for days to try and keep infrastructure and hospitals running as long as possible. No refrigeration. Extreme food scarcity. Hospitals no longer function. No heat. Little to no water. Untreated sewage.

The term "genocide" as defined by the UN:

if things go wrong rapidly, affecting all of us.
