13·17 days agoThe genocide is why, pretty simple
By selling Israel weapons to do Genocide with, what are you talking about. Some EU nations even directly helped the IOF in their genocidal campaign.
For the same reasons it applies to the US, it applies to the EU as well
EU was/is also selling weapons to Israel, weapons they use for genocide, it wasn’t/isn’t just the US.
I literally said I blame every president since the Spanish-American war. Why would Biden’s continuation of Trump’s policies of Cuba be a problem for me if I didn’t also oppose Trump’s policies? You’re making no sense. Obama’s policy was a significant improvement over all other administrations but still falls significantly short. Because the Cuban people have continued to be under our collective punishment policies. If I oppose not only the policies of Biden, Trump 1, all previous presidents since we started exploiting Cuba (pro-revolution), why the fuck would you think I support Trump’s 2 policies? Please, use a crumb of critical thinking. Go ahead and search my history for Trump as see what you find.
You’re the one acting with the exact type of cult-mentality, defending the administrations, as the MAGA cult
I hate Liberals for their proximity to the GOP, we are not the same.
Zohran, AOC, Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, there are plenty of representatives that I support. You don’t know shit, you’re just making shit up to get mad about. Talk about a tantrum.
When did I claim it was ‘all Biden’s fault?’
Quit making shit up and projecting, this is sad
No, fuck the Russian government and every other capitalist hellhole
You’re missing the point so much, I’m actually impressed. Do you know any history of US control over Cuba?
I blame every president since the Spanish-American war, do you think the US policy on Cuba is a new development???
Calling out the unjustifiable policies of Biden on Cuba is ‘throwing a tantrum?’ Grow up, I’ll call out good and bad policies from any president. I don’t care about your dogmatic support, you can make excuses all you want. Doesn’t change the harm of the blockade and sanctions.
Ahead of the UN vote, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released its annual report outlining the material effects of the blockade in numbers. According to the report, the cost of 25 days of the blockade are the funds necessary to meet the requirements of the country’s National List of Essential Medicines for one year. Damages as a result of the blockade are USD 421 million a month, more than USD 13.8 million a day, and more than USD 575,683 per hour.
Trump then obviously comes in, imposes 243 sanctions, puts Cuba on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, and takes this very extreme position towards Cuba. Many people voted for Biden expecting that he would reverse this, that he would honor the legacy of his previous Democratic president. But reality has shown that Biden, like every other US president since 1959, has a zero sum mentality of the Cuban revolution, that it must be overthrown by all means. The US has seen in Cuba’s difficult moments the opportunity to further tighten the noose on Cuba.
Obviously, that hasn’t worked to the extent that the US would hope, because despite the noose being tightened on Cuba, the Cuban people haven’t given up on their independence, they haven’t given up their sovereignty, they haven’t given up their political project and their democratic process that they’ve designed and they’ve made a choice to build.
You understand that Trump was also president before Biden, right? And yes, those policies were continued, they were not changed. Choosing not to reverse the 1st Trump admins policies was a deliberate decision. The goal was to further destabilize Cuba, not normalize relations and end our illegal blockade. You can praise Biden all you want. I’m not going to praise our unjustifiable and illegal collective punishment on the Cuban people. This ratchet effect is exactly the problem, normalizing the previous Republican policies, and paving the way for the next Republican admin to expand on the brutality.
May 2021: The Biden-Harris administration sustained Trump-era Cuba policy by maintaining Cuba on the list of countries certified as not cooperating fully with U.S. antiterrorism efforts.
On June 23, the U.S. voted against a resolution condemning the U.S. embargo on Cuba at the 75th session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, signaling their support for the embargo. Each year since 1992, the UN has voted on a resolution to condemn the U.S. embargo on Cuba and, at all but one meeting, the U.S. has voted against the resolution. In 2016, the Obama-Biden administration historically abstained from voting on the resolution for the first time. Following the abstention, the Trump administration reverted back to voting in support of the U.S. embargo on Cuba.
July 2021: The State Department released the 2021 Trafficking In Persons Report and designated Cuba as one of the 15 countries with a Tier 3 ranking. Countries with Tier 3 rankings are subject to financial penalties, may be subject to restrictions of foreign assistance, and may also face possible U.S. opposition to similar assistance from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The report also listed Cuba’s government as one of 11 governments committing state-sponsored human trafficking. In the report’s launch ceremony, Secretary Blinken specifically noted Cuba’s international medical missions.
On July 22, the Biden-Harris administration announced sanctions “targeting elements of the Cuban regime responsible for this crackdown… to hold them accountable for their actions.” Specifically, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) instated sanctions on Cuba’s Minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR), Álvaro López Miera, and the Ministry of the Interior’s (MINIT) Special National Brigade, or “Boinas Negras” (Black Berets).
On July 30, OFAC announced additional sanctions on Cuba’s Revolutionary National Police, as well as individual sanctions against the chief, Oscar Callejas Valcarce, and deputy chief, Eddy Sierra Arias, of the National Police.
On August 13, the U.S. State Department announced a third round of sanctions issued by OFAC in response to the J11 protests.
On August 19, OFAC announced a fourth round of sanctions since the July 11 protests on three top Cuban officials.
Yes, that was one of the signature achievements of the Obama admin, along with the Iran Nuclear Deal. It’s completely unacceptable that Biden, rather than following Obama’s direction, continued Trump’s policy on Cuba instead
Unionizing distilleries is not a crazy concept
If those values are ethnic cleansing, supremacy, Apartheid, and Genocide. Yeah, they sure do.
