Cuba, for the 3rd time this MONTH, and 6th time this year, has experienced a total collapse of their power grid.
Just last month, I published in The Hill and op-ed that discussed how the extremity of the economic warfare being waged by the United States on Cuba is WILDLY out of proportion to the “threat” that they pose to the United States.
To be abundantly clear, Cuba poses ZERO threat to the United States. That doesn’t mean that they are incapable of causing the tiniest bit of harm, but if that is your barometer for launching all-out economic warfare that shuts down hospitals, causes MILLIONS to fall into a humanitarian crisis, and KILL people… you need to reexamine your moral compass.
This is unacceptable, and it is clear that Lil Marco and Dementia Don are pursuing yet again more regime change, human lives be damned.
ANYTHING FOR THE CRUMBLING EMPIRE!
No. As Americans, as HUMANS around the world, it is our DUTY to speak out about this. You can no longer plausibly deny that the United States is slaughtering civilians in Cuba as a result of OUR blockade (oh, the IRONY!!!), OUR sanctions, our villainy.
We need to speak out together. We cannot remain silent while the United States directly causes a humanitarian crisis in Cuba.
Please, like this. Comment. Repost it. Follow my account. This MATTERS people. We need to work TOGETHER to push back on this atrocious behavior from the United States.
WE CANNOT STAY SILENT!
@BrettErickson28 Impressive insight.
The Persian Gulf's northern shore is Iranian territory. Iran has islands in its southern waters. Transit between them is a sovereign right, strengthening Iran's ability to monitor Gulf traffic. Without Iran's consent, the Oman corridor cannot function.
@BrettErickson28 Iran's sudden focus on the MOU may signal a diplomatic purpose in Oman talks. Its importance rose sharply in the past 24 hours. Trump's message appeared to set new conditions — perhaps this is Iran's way of rejecting their legitimacy.
هرگز نسبت به توانایی ایران در دفع تهاجمات تردید نداشتهام.
اما اعتراف میکنم اعتمادبهنفس کسانی که منتظرند ایران زودتر حساب آمریکا را برسد تا جنگ تمام شود، گاهی مرا به حسادت وامیدارد!
#پیروزیم
@SinaToossi For what? Trump says he paused war for diplomacy, then adds new demands.
Iran's answer is simple: the last U.S.-signed MOU is the reference point.
Diplomacy means respecting the text, not rewriting it after the fact.
@AlirezaNader Calling Iran's government "the regime" is not just a word choice. Whether intentional or not, it adopts the framing used to justify denying Iran's sovereign rights.
@M_Boroujerdi If your goal is to help readers understand Iran, calling its government "the regime" works against that.
It's the language used to delegitimize Iranians' sovereign rights. If that's rooted in your father's murder, readers may understand—but they'll also question your neutrality!
Sunni Muslim Arabs in Kuwait describe George H.W. Bush as the one who saved them after God.
And that without the American army they would have perished
To our friends in #Türkiye and #Egypt :
Iran's victory would also mean greater prosperity for your Eastern Mediterranean ports and surrounding economic regions. Our futures are linked.
We hope you'll wish us a swift victory, because your prosperity depends on it too.
@EmcewanNcfc@BrettErickson28 A fact many Americans never hear: our martyred leader, killed in a U.S. strike ordered by Trump, repeatedly spoke with admiration about America's Founding Fathers.
@BrettErickson28 Geography matters: the Persian Gulf has one gateway — the Strait of Hormuz. A reality where Iran controls that gateway means the U.S. could no longer operate in the Gulf as it has for decades. The strategic equation changes completely.
@BrettErickson28 Another way to look at it: the White House and its circle treat war like an auction. Every threat, strike, ceasefire, or diplomatic opening has a price. TACO isn't restraint—it's a sales pitch. Hype the crisis, raise the bids, cash in on everyone else's urgency.
They called it propaganda when we spoke of Iranian courage. Today, courage has become undeniable.
The world can no longer deny another defining virtue of the Iranian people:
honesty.
As Immanuel Kant taught us, #perpetual_peace has no room for double standards.
Oil. Infrastructure. Trade. Navigation.
Either for everyone — or for no one!

Normalization with Israel is a U.S. strategic goal. Some even link Oct 7 to its progress.
But the road is blocked: Syria & Lebanon won't serve as corridors. Jordan's security is no longer guaranteed.
