Don’t mess with Cuba lol. I was given real sugar Coke-a-cola, not the bad corn syrup kind, for fixing brakes on my friends car. I wasn’t even going to ask anything for the work.
Another war will surely solve these high prices and crippling national debt
Well…since Cuba has drones, they could easily close the Florida strait as easily as Iran did with Hormuz.
The perfectly named “Gulf of America” and the US oil monopoly would be cut off lol.
That demented fuck is truly living in the 1980’s
Lucky motherfucker
Great, more interventionism. Just what we needed.
Just make sure Barron and the MAGA fucknuts are leading the charge across the beaches. Kegsbreath better be using Signal App too.
after barron does insider trading.
At least he’s talking about leaving office, now.
The motherfucker is 80 years old. He looked visibly deflated after the midterms and just done with it. He knows he’s done, politically and in life. And he knows he made it. He did it!
In a sense it’s genuinely impressive how pure petulant narcissism was able to keep that bloated half digested sausage of a body alive for eight decades to become president twice and rob the nation and the world blind.
It’s not a great thing to be infamous for, but I guess in the end he got what he craved in a way- attention, the one thing he never received from his parents, and for which he never forgave the world.
If we mess with Cuba, China will mess with Taiwan
China isn’t waiting on an excuse like that to take back Taiwan.
China believes Taiwan is theirs and China should govern Taiwan. I don’t know all the details but I’ve talked to people from China about it and that is what they told me. There are deeper roots to the China/Taiwan problem than whatever Trump is really doing with Cuba.
He is going to rename it “Isle of America”, isn’t he … ?
“Super St. James Island” more likely.
Mar a Lago 2
I wonder what’s in it for him. Is he gonna steal their cane sugar?
Guarantee it’s the cigars
Define “get Cuba done”
Well, he’s got America done already so he is looking for new places to wreck.
turn it back into an American Mafia run resort.
Banana Republicans as it were
Bring back United Fruit Company and Batista!
Define “leave office”
It’s one of those I know it when I see it type things.
To surrender all rights and responsibilities of the presidency, whether it be willingly or unwillingly
Are you in favor of this or are you just spitballing imperial decrees?
I just defined what it would mean for Trump to leave office. Yes, I’m in favour of Trump leaving office. He never should have been president to begin with
I couldn’t tell if you meant Cuba or the USA, and I’m tired of not being able to tell.
I’m not sure how, in context, you thought I was talking about Cuba. You thought I meant the president of Cuba? I was asked to define leaving office, so I did
No but seriously, look,
someone: Define “get Cuba done”
someone else: Define “leave office”
You: To surrender all rights and responsibilities of the presidency, whether it be willingly or unwillingly
me: Are you in favor of this or are you just spitballing imperial decrees?
You: I just defined what it would mean for Trump to leave office. Yes, I’m in favour of Trump leaving office. He never should have been president to begin with
me: I couldn’t tell if you meant Cuba or the USA, and I’m tired of not being able to tell.
You: I’m not sure how, in context, you thought I was talking about Cuba. You thought I meant the president of Cuba? I was asked to define leaving office, so I did
me: Look, let’s make something PERFECTLY FUCKING CLEAR HERE. I’m not seeking conflict. You came on to me pal.
again, me: does that thread make sense to any of us at this point? What do you make of it?
Look, let’s make something PERFECTLY FUCKING CLEAR HERE. I’m not seeking conflict. You came on to me pal.
Kidnap or murder their leaders then make a ‘deal’ dump can put his name on at the expense of the American tax payer that will funnel our money into his and the other oligarchs pockets.
How though? What’s the grift? The fuck kind of wealth does Cuba have to steal? Bauxite? Superior potassium? Vintage Americana cars?
He doesn’t give a shit about Cuba, he’ll be stealing more money from the American taxpayer. That’s been the grift since the fucking escalator.
Yeah but HOW though? Contracts to his buddies? They may be incompetent in every other facet of life, but they know the fuck out of grift, someone is getting sold Cuba, or something is in Cuba that can be sold, I don’t know what it is, but it’s there, baby, it’s there, and we’re gonna find it too… Obama never found anything there, I’ll tell you that. My uncle discovered Cuba by the way. It’s crazy, it’s true. They gave him a test- find Cuba, and he found it. He found it like nobody had ever found it.
Edit: OH SHIT IT’S RUBIO! Rubio wants it! Rubio wants to be the little fief of Cuba! To punish his detractors, and hwatnot! Marco my words! That fucking weasel will grease his way into the machinery in perpetuity, he will never go away, fucking one man revolving door, that snake will slither its way into governing and he’s a double cloven tongue that fucking bottom feeder! I hate Trump but I fucking loathe Rubio
Whatever I think the worst thing they could do will be tame by comparison to what they come up with.
Topple it’s communist government
And put any children with too much melanin into a cage.
And rape the nuns and send the weapons to Iran.
Why.
Remember when the Obama administration tried to ease off this silly non-sense with Cuba. That’s how you know this issue is living inside of Trump’s head.
Remember when Obama did the state visit to Cuba and that guy was so happy to see him that he started swinging a sword around a few feet from US president and neither one flinched.
Oh! Yeah that one. He’s motivated by either of two things: enriching himself, or spiting Obama.
Oh and child sex.
He has Obama derangement syndrome
Obama-Biden Derangement Syndrome
That’s what showed us how powerful the Cuban-American caucus has become
Obama tried to normalize relations, Florida has been red ever since
Cuban-Americans want Cuba to collapse. It’s pretty evil
Cuban-Americans want Cuba to collapse. It’s pretty evil
if its so fucked as they claim, just leave Cuba to it and it will all collapse anyways, no need to impose sanctions and threaten invasion etc
As a Cuban-American myself, I find it shameful that the Cuban diaspora wants Cuba to die under the pressure of American interests. They want Cuba to be another Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic: great for American tourists, absolute shit for locals.
They are so evil(their ancestors owned slaves and were exiled for it) that they join ICE so they can get rid of people in their own community. Fuck Gusanos. I hope they all get deported to a concentration camp once the white supremists are done with them.
So we should kill just under 4 million civilians then leave the country to warlords like we did in Iraq? Cuba is far from perfect but it doesn’t go around starting wars and is a tiny country. What’s with the obsession with it?
Edit; somehow when I originally read that commit I thought it was advocating for attacking Cuba don’t know how lol
What’s with the obsession with it?
It’s a communist state. The one thing capitalist states absolutely CANNOT tolerate is a communist state succeeding and providing a proof of concept.
Communism is the evolved version of Socialism according to .ML.
Cuba has not obtained any of the goals for Socialism therefore it is not Communist.
Source: Communists.
Well you could just go to Cuba for the source. They know and proclaim, officially, that they are a socialist state still in revolutionary phase.
Not communism.
Wikipedia disagrees, but I don’t know enough about Cuba to really argue the point.
An authoritarian dictatorship with socialistic policies isn’t socialism and it is definitely not Communist.
The term as it is used makes no sense.
The whole point of the last 70 years of war against Cuba has been to deprive and pressure them into collapse, and the authoritarianism, which I do not approve of or support, is an inevitable result of prolonged warfare.
The fact that they have survived as a nation-state with any sovereignty is highly impressive.
I don’t care if you think that it’s communist, socialist, or an authoritarian dictatorship. Can we all just agree the US bombing it would not be a good thing? Can we focus on preventing that and then after Cuba is safe you can both go back to debating their communism credentials or whatever?
Okay now you’re conflicting with yourself since you said according to .ml, which leans very heavily tankie. I’ve spent enough time in .ml comment sections to know huge swathes of them have zero problem with authoritarians so long as they’re on the right team. They’re the ones that, when someone else asked about authoritarianism in China, simply said that all states are authoritarian, which, to be fair, isn’t really wrong.
When Castro took over and seized the means of production, many wealthy property owners (of farms, refineries, etc., many closely affiliated with the US) fled to Florida. That was 1959-1963 or so. They remained bitter about it, and passed it on to their children. So, former Cubans in the US still hate the Cuban government. They want to see it fall. Not that they’d benefit from it.
Don’t forget they also owned slaves; their workers were slaves for the most part. And now their children are “slave catchers” in the US. Fuck Gusanos.
Don’t forget Afghanistan
America can’t afford to care for its citizens, but it can afford 20 years of war, at one billion dollars per day, with the finale of handing the country back to the Taliban. 🤪
Yep. We voted for Obama twice and then went bugfuck afterwards.
Yep!
One speaks in coherent complete sentences…
…the other rants and rambles in meandering bigotry
Consider if you go the New Testament for instruction on how to live, you are told to give away all your possessions, make no plans for the future, reject your family if they disagree with you, and stay celibate if you can (see respectively Matthew 19.21, Matthew 6.25, Matthew 12.48, and 1 Corinthians 7). This is the outlook of people who sincerely believed that the Messiah was going to return next week or next month, anyway very soon. It is an unliveable ethic, and when after several centuries the Second Coming had still not materialised and hope of it had been deferred sine die, more was needed in the way of ethics. Where did it come from? From Greek philosophy – not least from the Stoics – and from the Roman Republican virtues of probity, honour, duty, restraint, respect, friendship, and generosity that Cicero, Seneca, Virgil, Horace, and countless others wrote about and enjoined ceaselessly. ‘Christian values’ are largely Greek and Roman secular values. So, Christianity is not even Christianity.” An associated point reinforces this. The early Christians, like St Paul, were Jews. They believed that when you die, your body sleeps in the grave until the Last Trump, at which points the graves open and all the dead rise to be judged. St Paul said that the faithful will ‘see no corruption’ – that is, their bodies will not rot in the grave. But anyway, at the Last Trump when all rise, the faithful will be clothed in ‘new bodies,’ resplendent and fine. But “When Christianity had become the official religion of the Roman Empire (which it very quickly did; it was legalised by Constantine’s Edict of Milan in 313, and made the empire’s official religion by Theodosius IX in 381; within the next few decades all other religions were proscribed) and churches were being built apace, all requiring relics of the martyrs and saints, these latter were found to have rotted (‘seen corruption’) in their graves. This embarrassing problem was quickly got over by importing another useful idea from Greek philosophy: Plato’s doctrine of the immortal soul, which entered Christianity via the Neo-Platonism of Plotinus and his followers. That is why, starting from several centuries after the lifetime of Jesus of Nazareth, Christians believe in such a tianity is not Christianity but borrowed Greek philosophy.
Obama was drone bombing people here in the middle east throughout his tenure. It’s bizarre reading Americans today with such rosy views of his foreign policy.
During the Obama regime, the US killed people in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Uganda, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
And there were several massacres of civilians during that time, such as the Kunduz hospital massacre in Afghanistan, the Al-Majala massacre in Yemen, the Al-Jadida massacre in Iraq, etc etc etc etc.
From my perspective over here, Trump is just more of the same yankee bullshit.
You are correct, but Bush and Trump have been worse. Obama increased the transparency of the killings which is why the numbers look higher, but that wasn’t reported on very well and it was more obfuscated both before and after.
To be clear, that doesn’t absolve him of his crimes.
Americans don’t like war, so when our government does horrifying war crimes in other counties, we try REALLY HARD to not think about it.
Well except for when we’re praising the troops or consuming the dozen of blockbuster movies and AAA video games about it every year.
And then Trump undid it and Biden lied a bunch and continued that course
Do you think Trump is a good president?
Of course not.
No new wars, eh?
They’re operations, not wars, stupid lib! /s
Special military operations?
3 days, tops.
No, epic fury operations!!
I was in Cuba again this year. People there are really hurting. The streets of Havana are the emptiest of tourists I’ve ever seen them, yet the Paseo del Prado is alive with socialising Cubans every single night, persevering in the face of the soulless, shameless, compassionless behemoth next door.
May the Cuban people prevail regardless of the governments who use them as pawns.
marco rubio has vendetta against cuba, and other south american countries/.
Yes, that might be true.
In addition, the United States has been an anti-democratic force across almost all of Latin America for over a century. MANY Latin American countries have suffered through violent dictatorships that were supported by the US, all in the name of capitalist interests.
Name any Latin American country, and there’s a good chance it has been interfered with by the US.
also driving the migrant/immigrant crisis, that forces them to US for slave wages.
‘interfered’ is missing a lot of the cruelty and destruction that’s taken place.
I definitely don’t disagree, but I tried to find a word that would apply to all of Latin America because in some cases there was actual violence committed by US citizens, while in others it was diplomatic pressure or simply a lack of action. Feel free to offer better words because I’m always open to learning more.
The peace president everyone. A real stable genius
He won a FIFA peace prize! I had to buy more than 20 gallons of gas to get mine.
how the fuck did you afford that? did you short nvidia or sumthin?
He prolly lives in the US were gas ist still cheap af lol
China could do the funniest thing and arm the fuck out of Cuba secretly.
Bold of you to assume they haven’t
