U.S. says Cuba is prohibited from taking Russian oil as two tankers head to island

[Churchill]

Different situations, different methods.

So why did he attack the United States then?

How can we find out?

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

The pedophiles that run this country are such a clown show

Biden and the Dims are no longer in power. They left office back in 2024.
Time to crawl out of mommies basement.

 

[scruffy]

That's their business, if you actually cared so much about free and fair elections you'd be posting about Saudi Arabia and all the other Gulf dictatorships but you're so utterly stupid you prefer to live in the little bubble and rely on trump to tell what you should be angry about.

God you're naive, people like you are a dire threat to the United States.

WTF would you know about the United States, Limey?

Go pester your monarch. Jeez.

 

[Churchill]

WTF would you know about the United States, Limey?

Lots.

Go pester your monarch. Jeez.

I do.

Is that what you stand in front of a mirror and repeat to yourself all day?

He took what happened in Lebanon in 1983 and in Somalia in 1993 as evidence that if you kill enough Americans in a short period, they cut and run.

He figured he attacks the US, kills enough of us, and we would leave the Middle East and he could start his war against the House of Saud.

He miscalculated. Not the first time it has happened in History. Moltke didn't reach Paris, Hiter didn't reach Moscow, and Yamamoto didn't force the US to the negotiating table.

 

[JWBooth]

Evidently we are now blockading Cuba. Thats an absolute act of War. When did Congress declare this? How many countries are we at war with? How is this helping the grocery bill?

U.S. says Cuba is prohibited from taking Russian oil as two tankers head to island

The fuel-starved Caribbean island is facing its biggest test since the collapse of the Soviet Union under a U.S. oil blockade.

• The U.S. Treasury Department has made clear that Cuba is not allowed to take delivery of Russian crude.
• The warning comes at a time when two tankers carrying Russian oil and gas are thought to be on their way to Havana.
• The fuel-starved Caribbean island is facing its biggest test since the collapse of the Soviet Union under a U.S. oil blockade.

You mean "if their ideology was so great, or if the most power nation in history didn't try to destroy them for 65 years, they would not be in this mess."

Don’t blame US for Cuba’s failed Castro Che legacy. The US didn’t force a country into oppression and not adapt to viable economic model that would enable them to be sovereign and independent. They’ve had years to reform and chose not to.

 

[Doc7505]

Um, all of those people are dead.

<~~~~~~~~~~>​

Castro deserved to die like Che in some Jungle infested area, rather than die in bed.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Agreed. but idiots like Zinc can't even admit that. they pretend it doesn't exist.

Its still a blockade. Remember the last time we had a blockade of Cuba?

Thats great but has nothing to do with the topic.

That was a quarantine, not a blockade.

Only weapons were not permitted to enter Cuba.

Yep! Worked out great for us and bad for everyone else.

Tell that to the Soviets.

Tell that to the Soviets.

it worked.

Actually the U.S. did force the country into oppression which is how support for the '59 revolution was able to grow. And also, actually, Cuba was sovereign and independent until the U.S. decided to start starving them to death a couple months ago. Well I suppose they technically still are sovereign and independent until the U.S. installs the new puppet government.

 

[Zincwarrior]

it worked.

And we almost died.

 

[martybegan]

And we almost died.

Nope.

If the US backed down we probably would have emboldened the USSR to try something worse.

 

[Marener]

Saudi Arabia is slowly moving in that direction, and their biggest issue is how they treat their migrant workers, not their own citizens, who appear to like their system.

You know who the #1 Saudi dissident used to be, right?

He wanted a far worse system than the House of Saud.

Don’t criticize their king, otherwise they’ll lure you to an embassy where they cut you into pieces and smuggle you out in duffle bags.

And Bin Laden running things would have been better?

Don't Worry, England is going that way, but it's for talking bad about Islam instead of the King.
