Communism doesn’t work without outside support IE Capitalist support

IwriteOK America should end the embargo

Key word Temporarily. BTW I thought I read the restriction was made by usa according to Bernie sanders😐

Ah stop. Just lift the American sanctions against Cuba. Allow them to trade with the world. Allow them import what they need.

The American embargo against Cuba doesn’t affect food and medicine to be shipped there. The Cuban government is simply broke and has no cash!

Correction: Cuba Temporarily lifting its own embargo against its people.

I'm wondering if all that food is just going to go to his soldiers and not the people. 🤔

Can you please report on the humanitarian help of 123 millions sent to Cuba and instead of chicken in “la bodega” we saw the chicken being sold in US dollars when the people’s salary is in “pesos cubanos”?

The people are dying because they want freedom not for 3 lbs of bread and sugar! This is indignant! cubalibre

Democrats urge Biden to turn Cuba crisis into 'tear down this wall' moment with Miami tripFormer President Ronald Reagan urged Mikhail Gorbachev, then the leader of the Soviet Union, to 'tear down this wall' in a 1987 speech near the Berlin Wall. But won't that go against the DemonRat socialist/communist agenda? little did the leaders past know a ratard would take over The already Alzheimerish Reagan believed Gorbachev, not the East Germans, controlled the Berlin Wall. It is no wonder books like “In Search of Reagan’s Brain” were published in the 1980s.

SOSCuba NoahCRothman They have Biden says no to Refugess from Cuba or Haiti, message is clear. NoahCRothman So we bring the Cuban Commies over here so they can vote for Republican Commies.
