We condemn Putin for trying to exert control over The Ukraine and the rest of the former Soviet Republics, but we do not blink an eye at Trump and the US government doing the exact same things here in the Western Hemisphere. We have ZERO right to be blockading Cuba. We have ZERO right for bombing Venezuela into regime change. We have ZERO right to use force to overthrow or debilitate any left leaning government in the Americas.

Well said.

And "we have ZERO right to use force to overthrow or debilitate any left leaning government in the Middle East."

Of course, Cuba is completely blameless. A dilapidated infrastructure is nobody's fault but their own.

Left-leaning is putting power and wealth to where it belongs-- in the hands of the people and not the ruling elites.

Yep. After all those years they should have found a way around those US sanctions.

***Dummkopf Trumpf: "I'll have the honor of taking Cuba and I can do anything I want with it.' ***

FTA:

"The morbidly obese draft dodging geriatric pedophilic president's threats against Cuba follow a very public warning from good-for-nothing warmonger US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who should retire and move to Israel since he loves Israelis more than he loves Americans. The overpaid South Carolina Republican gleefully chirped that Dummkopf Trumpf was unlawfully targeting authoritarian regimes one by one, with Cuba next on his nefarious agenda, but did not say when Trumpf would target his own authoritarian junta for regime change."
