Version 7.7.2
U.S. sanctions on Cuba amount to collective punishment against ordinary people — fuel costs have skyrocketed, hospitals lack medicine, and blackouts stretch beyond 20 hours a day. Washington's manufactured drone threat and indictment of Raúl Castro mirror the bogus WMD pretext used to justify invading Iraq. Trump has openly said he wants to 'take' Cuba, making clear this is about imperial greed, not freedom.
Calling U.S. sanctions 'political genocide' is rich deflection from a regime the State Department has documented spending nearly seven decades sponsoring terrorism, training Marxist agitators on American campuses and fueling left-wing insurgencies worldwide. Cuba's economic collapse stems from communist mismanagement, not Washington. Díaz-Canel's outrage is a propaganda move to dodge accountability for the Castro regime's own documented crimes.
