Re: Cuban Uprising
Yeah lol the WH is parroting the leftist talking points of this being due to the China Virus.
This uprising creates a real conundrum for the left in America…what’s a Castro and Che Guevara t-shirt wearing democrat socialist to do?

Bernie's contortions are fun to watch.

Re: Cuban Uprising
Part of the problem is the depressing economic conditions in Cuba - exacerbated in part by Trump era sanctions. They're speaking out against food shortages and high prices (from what i've read). Decades of the US sanctioning them hasn't helped at all.

Re: Cuban Uprising
Aren't the sanctions supposed to elicit a change? So they worked.

Re: Cuban Uprising
I was kinda going in the direction that its pretty much an American only thing have the right to be able to peacefully protest.
But what ever.

Re: Cuban Uprising
All they have to do is overthrow the government and billions of american dollars float over monthly.

Re: Cuban Uprising
They are supposed to elicit a change. I'm not necessarily knocking them.

Re: Cuban Uprising
It's true - it hasn't helped the Cuban people one bit. But I see where I could've been more clear.

Re: Cuban Uprising
What about the Iranian sanctions?

Re: Cuban Uprising
Let's be honest - the citizens feel the pressure of sanctions. Cuba has to import so much and with sanctions from medicine and food to car parts and basic supplies, they've struggled for generations because of the Castro brothers.

Re: Cuban Uprising
Kalm and Obama both hate the Iranians, especially Neda. They think the Iyatollas should do whatever they wish.

Re: Cuban Uprising
Of course not. Communism isn't about the people. It's about those at the top...and staying at the top.

We need Chizzy to make an appearance and remind us of the beauty of Iranian women.

Re: Cuban Uprising
It was the first one for Marx. Orwell and I think Huxley who were more in favor democratic socialism warned against oligarchical collectivism.
The end result of pure capitalism and communism is authoritarianism.

Followed by annihilation.

Re: Cuban Uprising
Medical supplies are exempt from US sanctions.
There are roughly 180 other countries who could help Cuba. Why do we need to send US dollars to Cuba to subsidize it's Communist regime?
