'What Did These Cuban Children Do to Trump?': US Embargo Blamed as Infant Mortality Soars | Common Dreams

The Trump administration's economic embargo on Cuba is causing a devastating rise in infant mortality rates. How many more innocent lives must be lost in the name of political agendas? The socialist government may have outlasted US presidents, but at what cost to its people? #Cuba #InfantMortality

As President Donald Trump tightens the blockade on Cuba following a similar strangulation of Venezuela that ended with last month’s US invasion and kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to face dubious “narco-terrorism” charges in the United States, critics are renewing calls to end Washington’s embargo.

Imposed in the early 1960s after a successful revolution that overthrew a brutal US-backed dictatorship and replaced it with a socialist government, the blockade—which accompanied a decadeslong campaign of terrorism by US-based Cuban exiles—has claimed thousands of Cuban lives and cost the country’s economy more than $1 trillion, according to official estimates.

The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly condemned the blockade 33 times.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned Wednesday of a potential “collapse” of Cuba’s economy if the US keeps blocking oil from entering the country.

Can you imagine? If you are a recent parent in Havana and your child was born pre-maturely. Now the child will die when there is no electricity to power the incumbator. Or perhaps your elderly parent are dependent on 24/7 oxygen. They will die not because there is no electricity. Or maybe your child is a paraplegic and depends on an electric powered wheelchair. Well, once the battery runs out, they are screwed.

The Cuban regime is evil. Everyone knows that. They need to be reformed. But torturing the population is not the way to do it. This is cruel and unhuman. But trump does not care. I am sure Miller loves seeing kids suffer,

You know that it is in Cuba, right?

We have no obligation to fund and help a nation hostile to us.

We need to repatriate all those great American cars from the 1950's.

Keeping Cuba’s Classic Cars on the Road

While many of the classic cars on the streets of Havana were manufactured in the U.S., years of ad-hoc restoration and creative repairs have transformed them into something uniquely Cuban. Visit a repair and restoration shop on a side street in Havana, where the transformation takes place.
