"Frm Cuba’s POV, the latest phase of US attacks on the island started w/ the extermination campaign in #Gaza &the world paralysis t let it proceed,which encouraged delusions of omnipotence in Washington.
Now Trump wants 2impose hunger on Cubans 2 make them renounce socialism,which is not at all a new idea.Like his predecessors in the Oval Off, he doesn’t want there 2 be a base 4 anti-imperial politics anywhere in the world, much less just 90miles away from the US" #Cuba

Will Cuba Survive?

Since the triumph of their revolution in 1959, Cubans have infuriated U.S. leaders with their specialized genius in overcoming catastrophe, whether it take the form of a hurricane, flood, invasion, hijacking, chemical attack, biological attack, or economic warfare.

"I talked to people on the street who blame the Cuban government for the crisis and openly say they can’t wait for the fall of communism.

Marta Jiménez, a hairdresser in Cuba’s eastern city of Holguín, covered her face with her hands and broke down crying when I asked her about Trump’s blockade of the island—especially now that the U.S. is choking off oil shipments.
