Russia's UNIVERSAL, a 242,000 barrel tanker initially bound for Cuba, has changed course and is now heading to South America instead.

Sadly Moscow obeys the U.S. blockade.

The New York Times reports a Chinese tanker bound for Cuba also diverted towards South America earlier this year.

The US effectively denied entry to the Russian tanker Universal, which was carrying approximately 270,000 barrels of diesel fuel destined for Cuba.

The sanctioned vessel stalled roughly 1,000 miles off the Cuban coast in mid-April and has since altered course away from the island amid ongoing US enforcement of energy restrictions.

Why the fuck is US is blocking Cuba and no one lifting a finger to help them?

This is so fucking upsetting.

Does Cuba even have oil or gas?
No?
Oh good — then it’s definitely time for the U.S. to “increase pressure,” threaten sanctions, cut off energy supplies, and start floating unverified drone invasion stories.
Because let’s be real: the U.S. doesn’t invade for democracy.
It invades for resources — or invents threats when there are none.
Cuba’s crime? Being socialist. And existing 90 miles from Florida.
Meanwhile, actual dictators with oil get photo ops at Mar-a-Lago.

🇺🇸 “Bloodbath warning from Havana? Must be time for more sanctions and a few ‘classified intelligence’ leaks.”
Same playbook, different decade.

US Allows Russian Oil Tanker to Enter Cuba, Easing Blockade

US Coast Guard permits Russian oil tanker carrying 730,000 barrels of crude to enter Cuba, easing months-long de facto blockade by Trump administration while avoiding potential friction with Russia off Florida coast

Yonhap Infomax

While the world watches other wars, the U.S. has quietly strangled Cuba with an oil blockade that's plunged 11 million people into blackouts, shortages, and despair.

No fuel imports for months → nationwide power grid collapse → families without lights, food rotting, hospitals struggling.

This isn't 'diplomacy'—it's collective punishment, called out by UN experts as a violation of international law and a grave humanitarian threat. #CubaBlockade #EndTheEmbargo #HumanRights

A blockade is an act of war.

This is a non-controversial definition. The USA under Trump has been at war on Cuba. Trump is trying to starve and inflict massive widespread humanitarian damage on Cuban people. There was no provocation, no mutual escalation. It is a war atrocity. So let's call it what it is. He has that way to stirring up so many crises you can't keep up attention and I haven't been any better about that than most people but what's happening need attention.
