Why are we torturing and making innocent people suffer this entire year just to try to punish their leaders who certainly won't be suffering at all at their privileged level?

People there in hospitals are certainly dying without power

This not only makes absolutely no sense but is truly a war crime

They don't even have conventional weapons, forget nuclear

WTF is the point? Oh yeah, the cruelty

Every single cabinet member needs to be impeached for enabling this

And then maybe some close examination of military "leadership"

Because the US is a bully demanding servitude and compliance, that’s all it is. Decouple as much as you can, as quickly as you can, as the rest of the world is demonstrating. To not be bullied, you must step out of the reach of the bully.

I put it to you that at most the US is helping to torture the Cuban people, a job that the Cuban government has been taking the reigns on for decades. It's not as though this is a crisis that emerged out of nowhere, or that Trump spent 50+ years grinding their economy and social structures to dust with mismanagement, corruption, and brutality.

I don't think it's worth it personally, but the Cuban diaspora in the US overwhelmingly does. I'd take it up with them, but maybe don't accuse them of torture right out of the gate.

They aren’t doing communism right it seems.
