[a #video about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast]
For more than six decades, #US policy toward #Cuba has relied on #EconomicWarfare instead of diplomacy. The US claims to target the #Cuban government but ends up hurting the lives of millions of civilians.
Int'l law expert Alfred de Zayas speaks to BotB on #Trump’s latest executive order, which allows him to slap tariffs on any country that ships #oil to Cuba, and how the policy violates #InternationalLaw. He explains the difference between #sanctions and unilateral coercive measures, and how the devastating measures are really a form of collective punishment.
“We are witnessing an assault on the #UN Charter, on international law, and on civilization itself,” warns Professor Alfred de Zayas.

“We are locked & loaded on your critical dual-use infrastructure, on your remaining power generation & on your #energy industry.…We’d rather not have to do it,” #Hegseth added, “but we’re ready to go at the command of our president & at the push of a button.”
Under #InternationalLaw, intentionally targeting a country’s energy infrastructure would constitute a #WarCrime.

#Russia #journalism #war #terrorism #Ukraine #InternationalLaw
Russian authorities have opened a criminal case against journalist and former television producer Kapitolina Averina on charges of publicly inciting terrorism. She has been held at a pretrial detention center in the Kaluga region since February 2026, according to Sever.Realii, a project of RFE/RL’s Russian service.
…#Hegseth repeatedly urged Iran’s leaders to “choose wisely” & said the #US naval blockade of #Iran ports would continue “as long as it takes.” The #Trump admin has alternated between assuring a peace deal is within reach & threatening Iran’s leadership if it does not comply…
“If Iran chooses poorly, then they will have a blockade & bombs dropping on infrastructure, power, & #energy,” Hegseth said. Under #InternationalLaw, intentionally targeting Iran’s #civilian #infrastructure is a #WarCrime.
