Cuba: A US Manufactured Humanitarian Crisis

Due to the capture of Nicholas Maduro, Venezuela is no longer supplying oil to Cuba which has finally resulted in the vast majority of the island's population having no access to power and sources of water. Waste is piling up and their sewage system is flowing through the streets. Stateside we are seeing very little coverage and what we are seeing is that it is being caused by the failed government. Internationally, it is being noted that the United States cut off the flow of oil to Cuba and has instituted a blockade around the island. A Russian Tanker that was bringing fuel to the Island was prohibited by the US Navy.

So failed government because of socialism? Or once again, socialism having to contend with direct violent intervention from the United States?

Discuss. People are going to be dying soon.

Do I get an achievement for this?A digital cookie if you will?

 

And the neoliberals on this board would rather make personal attacks than address their internal contradictions and alignment with fascism.

They should DM me when they have something new to say.

 

His failure to mention African Americans, The Chinese(who built the railroads), and Native Americans was extremely telling. Italians, the Irish, and Jewish people? They all get to benefit from proximity to whiteness, while these other groups who have been here longer, been exploited longer? Tough nuggets you aren’t in the club.

It’s incredible how neoliberals can’t extend this “empathy” they pretend to have for marginalized groups abroad unless these groups are under the evil thumb of socialism. Because again, they aren’t benefiting from
being able to exploit them. Swallowing US State Department propaganda with their full throats.

Democracy is what? Personal sovereignty. Collectively nations should be allowed to what? Have an extension of that sovereignty. Who are the US “enemies”? Countries that defy the global banking system and refuse to submit to Capitalism. Why do those nations refuse to submit? Because they were tired of colonial exploitation. Why have they been allowed to exist outside of control? Because of geography (islands, mountains, distance), weaponry (nuclear weapons), and in China’s case a belief that they could be brought into the fold.

Make no mistake what is happening to Cuba is the same thing happening to people in this country donning a different cloak.

 

I would too also take this position if I viewed situations in a vacuum. I don’t however. How naive neoliberals are for failing to understand how US Foreign Policy dictates situations across the Globe. Hell the Trump administration just admitted they manufactured the economic crisis that led to Iranians protesting in the past couple of months.

Remarks from Scott Bessent, US Secretary of the Treasury.

Replying to a query about dealing with Iran at a Congressional hearing last week, Treasury Secretary Bessent described the US strategy to send the Iranian currency plunging.

“What we [have done] at Treasury is created a dollar shortage in the country,” Bessent said, adding that the strategy came to a “grand culmination in December, when one of the largest banks in Iran went under … the Iranian currency went into freefall, inflation exploded, and hence, we have seen the Iranian people out on the street.

“We have seen the Iranian leadership wiring money out of the country like crazy,” Bessent added. “So the rats are leaving the ship, and that is a good sign that they know the end may be near.”

Before this, speaking with Fox News at the World Economic Forum last month in Davos, Bessent explained the role US sanctions played in driving the recent nationwide protests.

“President Trump ordered Treasury … to put maximum pressure on Iran, and it’s worked,” he said. “Because in December, their economy collapsed. They are not able to get imports, and this is why the people took to the streets.”

In both instances, Bessent referred to his earlier remarks at the Economic Club of New York, in March last year, when he outlined how the White House would leverage President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign to collapse Iran’s economy.

In his address there, Bessent said the US “elevated a sanctions campaign against [Iran’s] export infrastructure, targeting all stages of Iran’s oil supply chain”, coupled with “vigorous government engagement and private sector outreach” to “close off Iran’s access to the international financial system”.


personal comment from me: See how Venezuela is related? It’s been about Iran for months. You want to know why they were targeting the speedboats? Guess who has speedboats with cruise missiles attached to them? Iran. They were testing new weapons systems on fishermen in preparation for this war of aggression that we are creating on Israel’s behalf. The new Venezuelan President as well as Colombia’s President said as much after the capture of Maduro.

The US has also been levying economic sanctions against Iran for decades off and on which also complicate these matters. Iran was following the deal President Obama signed until Trump pulled us out of it. Obviously there is more to the story, but the central point remains—>we have been the aggressors here.

How am I being anti-semitic? Am I allowed to criticize Israel for anything or imply that a country that doesn’t follow any international laws and is obsessed with its own survival would encourage us to attack Venezuela is kind of grounded in reality based on comments from the country that was attacked itself. Where is Cuba’s oil now going to instead of Cuba and Venezuela?

Connecting dots that exist isn’t like believing the world is flat. Rememeber how Israel got their nuclear weapons? Who they stole the material from and secrets from? It’s a country that doesn’t abide by international laws or norms. Criticizing them isn’t hating jewish people.
