With machetes it might look like something out of Rwanda but the bayonets are on the end of assault rifles. We all know assault rifles just sit around all day waiting to assault. That’s why we shouldn’t have them and why Cubans don’t have them.

Sugar cane ain’t getting the US Marines to come visit. Maybe if they find some rare earth metals or lithium. For now those peasants can’t even afford my torches and pitchforks.

Ah, some of you aren't very geopolitical savvy are you? The bay of pigs is 60 years ago. We have no dog in this fight and I never want our military involved where the United States doesn't in some way benefit.

Besides think of all the cool cars that are still rattling around down there.

Ooooooh! If I were President I'd level the place. Move all the people to Miami (I lived there for two years, nobody would notice the difference. Awesome food, HOT chicks!) and turn Cuba into one giant tobacco field. But, how to get the cars out before we send in the drones.... hmm... 🤔

(Probably shouldn't have an opinion on this until after I finish my San Cristobal El Principe and coffee...)

Amid wave of repression in Cuba, Biden says he won’t lift restrictions on remittances

Departing from a campaign promise, President Joe Biden said he will not reverse restrictions on remittances to Cuba imposed by the previous Republican administration unless he gets guarantees the money would not fill the communist government’s coffers.

The six-decade-old regime has been shaken by islandwide anti-government street demonstrations and responded by unleashing a wave of repression that has led to hundreds of arrests and left at least one person dead.

Biden acknowledged the ongoing repression on the island during comments to reporters at the White House on Thursday.

“Cuba is a, unfortunately, a failed state … and is repressing its citizens,” he said. “There are a number of things that we would consider doing to help the people of Cuba, but it would require different circumstances or a guarantee that they would not be taken advantage of by the government.”

“For example, the ability to send remittances back to Cuba. I would not do that now because of the fact it’s highly likely that the regime would confiscate those remittances or big chunks,” he said.

The Donald Trump administration sanctioned several Cuban financial entities last year, including Fincimex, which handled remittances to the island, because of its links to the Cuban military. Sanctions to Fincimex caused Western Union to suspend its services to Cuba, leaving many Cuban Americans without legal ways to send money to their families on the island in the middle of a pandemic.

Before the demonstrations erupted Sunday, the Biden administration had signaled it was considering reversing some of Trump’s policies, including restrictions on remittances, citing humanitarian concerns.

Biden had made this a campaign promise, and the administration started a review of the entire Cuba policy earlier this year while also declaring that it was not a priority.

But the volatile situation on the island had made the administration pay more attention to events there and in Miami, where a large Cuban American community has called on the president to support the uprising. Biden released a statement on Monday calling the protests a “clarion call for freedom and relief.”

After Cubans took to the streets on Sunday in several cities chanting “down with the dictatorship,” the Cuban government has repeatedly accused the U.S. of plotting and financing the uprising.

While U.S. officials have called on the Cuban government to stop the violence against the demonstrators, U.S. authorities have taken steps to prevent another migration crisis. In a press conference on Tuesday, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez hinted the U.S. was risking another exodus of Cuban migrants.

“We have contingency plans, and actually, created a much more robust presence along the Florida Straits to make sure we are prepared to manage any sort of migration in that regard,¨a senior White House official told reporters on Thursday. “The statement of the Cuban foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez, threatening a mass migration, reflects a lack of care for Cubans who would risk their lives to come to the United States.”

The nation of Cuba is not winning. I'm not winning a thing. Its more like mourning to me. They deserve better. Puerto Rico voted down statehood several times and they don't see the value of becoming a state. Now that they're bankrupt and running on coal fumes AOC wants to shut down...that might not have been a wise decision.

Cuba on the other hand...they've been beaten down by pure Marxist leadership with Soviet era backing. Even THEY walked away from them. At one time the island was the East Coast Las Vegas. Then Castro. The people there are starving. The buildings are dilapidated. They've found end arounds to keep 1950 's American automobiles running. The island really is a treasure that the famous diver Jacques Cousteau documented called Cuba Waters of Destiny. He was used as a propaganda pawn as was Michael Moore. Ironic that now the very same "free medical" island is screaming for medicine but keep making fun of their plight and situation. Maybe that makes you a big man in your mind. Just knowing that they've shut down the "internet" as they know it because pictures and videos emerged for the World to see...the brutality...it's gut wrenching to me. If that gives you reason to make jokes at their expense then keep your pedal to the metal. Its working for you and people that think like you.
