If the feds want to know what we saw in Cuba, there's no need to hide behind lawyers. My full travelogue is now live on @curaffairs, and once you know what people in Havana are really dealing with, you'll never support U.S. regime-change operations again.

@KylePostingOnX @The_Mad_Gasser @davidrkadler Over 1/2 of U.S. adults (54%) read below a 6th-grade level vs Cubans boasting an adult literacy rate of ~ 99.67% to 99.8% - one of the highest literacy rates in the world, due to a long-standing govt commitment to free, universal education and a major literacy campaign in 1961

[Stephanie Alexandra @stelexine]

@KylePostingOnX @The_Mad_Gasser @davidrkadler I'd prefer if Americans read more and spoke less.

[David Adler @davidrkadler]

This is not a drill.

Trump is preparing to take the US into another illegal war against Cuba to appease the Miami mafia.

We must stop him. It’s not too late.

@bubba_slim @mehdirhasan Because imperialism spreads death and destruction in the name of resource hoarding and capitalism puts (private) profits over people

"according to two sources familiar with the situation...officials at the Pentagon... were quietly given a new directive that came straight from the Trump White House. The message: ramp up your preparations for possible military operations against Cuba."

[COMBATE |🇵🇷 @upholdreality]

Cuban President Diaz-Canel to NBC: if Cuba is so incapable, so closed-off, so uninnovative -- why has the US spent 60+ years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying to crush it?

"Why don't they let us fall on our own, if that's what they believe?"

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

58,000 Americans died in Vietnam.

Over 3,000,000 Vietnamese died.

And for fifty years, American culture has centered the grief of the 58,000 while treating the 3,000,000 as a backdrop.

As scenery. As context. As "the Vietnam War experience."

They built a wall in Washington with American names on it.

A beautiful wall. A solemn wall.

Good. Mourn your dead.

But understand what that wall does not say.

It does not say why they died.

It does not say what they were doing there.

It does not say what was done in their name to the people whose country it actually was.

It does not mention My Lai, where American soldiers massacred an entire village, old men, women, children, babies, and the officer who ordered it served three years of house arrest before being pardoned.

Three years. House arrest. Pardoned.

For five hundred people murdered in a ditch.

It does not mention the 2.7 million acres of Vietnamese forest doused in Agent Orange, a chemical weapon disguised as herbicide, that is still deforming Vietnamese children today.

Not in 1970. Not in 1985. Today.

Children born in 2020 with bodies twisted by a war their grandparents fought.

And the chemical companies that made it are still in business.

Still profitable.

Still un-prosecuted.

And yet they send us human rights reports.

They grade our democracy.

They warn us about our behavior.

The audacity is so enormous it becomes almost impressive.

Almost.

200,000 barrels of Russian oil destined for Cuba diverted, while a boat of guns from Florida pass by the US coastguard without issue. The US tries to starve the Cuban people to create unrest while allowing terrorists passage to the island to provoke it https://t.co/wIYScmUrnF

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Only the United States could bomb a country, kill its leader, massacre its children, declare the intention to destroy its military and topple its government, and then call that country's retaliation against US military bases "unprovoked".

[Greg Stoker @gregjstoker]

If you are in the US military you are not currently fighting for your country - you’re fighting for a small group of inhumanly rich transnational billionaires who do not believe in nation-states in the same way you do.

I’m 4th gen Army. Deprogramming is difficult, you got this!

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

You just listed every group that refused to die quietly and called that a case for "destabilization."

Let me answer you in the same rhythm:

Who armed Saddam when he gassed Iranians and Kurds?

Who armed Israel as it erased Palestine from the map?

Who armed Saudi Arabia while it starved Yemeni children?

Who armed the Shah while his torture chambers were full?

Who armed the mujahideen in Afghanistan, then called them a mistake?

Who armed militias in Syria, then cried "terrorism" when the fire spread?

You know the answer.

The same capitals that now point at Iranian-backed groups and scream "destabilizing" are the ones that:

Drew the borders.

Picked the kings.

Toppled the governments.

Looted the oil.

Sanctioned the economies.

And then sold weapons to every regime that agreed to kneel.

Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Iraqi militias, the Shia brigades you listed:

They did not appear in a vacuum.

They are the armed vocabulary of people who learned that unarmed vocabulary gets you massacred.

You ask:

"Who arms them?"

I ask:

Who created a world where Palestinians need rockets just to be noticed?

Who created a world where Yemenis need missiles just to break a blockade?

Who created a world where Lebanese villages need resistance just to avoid becoming South Lebanon 1982 forever?

If you are truly upset by the fact that Iran arms these groups, then you should be twice as upset by the conditions that made those groups necessary:

Occupation.

Siege.

Ethnic cleansing.

Dictators handpicked by foreign powers.

Wars launched by people who never have to bury their own children.

Iran did not bring foreign armies to the region.

They did not invade Iraq in 2003.

They did not flatten Fallujah.

They did not turn Libya into a slave market.

They did not drop white phosphorus on Gaza.

They armed those who decided that dying on their feet was preferable to dying on camera as "collateral damage."

You think you are asking a hard question:

"Who arms Hamas? Who arms Hezbollah? Who arms the Houthis?"

You are not.

The hard question is:

Who made a world where every time people tried peaceful negotiation, international law, UN resolutions, "the peace process," they got more settlements, more blockades, more sanctions, more graves?

You do not get to burn down a neighborhood, arm the arsonists, and then point at the people grabbing buckets of water and say:

"Look at them. They are escalating."

Iran's hands are not clean.

No state's hands are.

But if you want to talk about who destabilized the region, start with the powers that turned it into a chessboard:

The United States.

Israel.

NATO clients.

The same network of "allies" that can level a country and still be called "the international community."

You ask who arms the people who fight back.

I ask who arms the ones they are fighting.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

@vonderleyen Which developments? The US/Israel aggression? The massacres of dozens of civilians? The risk of Iran retaliating?
Invoking nuclear safety while endorsing policies that endanger millions is not leadership: it's escalation. May EU citizens see what is being signed off in their name

[jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill]

The term “preemptive” is pure propaganda. The U.S. once again used the veneer of negotiations as a cover to bomb Iran. Tehran had just offered terms that went far beyond the 2015 nuclear deal. What was preempted was diplomacy. The same propaganda tactics used in 2003 Iraq war.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

[Belly of the Beast @bellybeastcuba]

U.S. citizens are traveling to Havana for a new breakthrough treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Clinical trials show that, unlike any other medication, Cuba’s NeuralCIM not only stabilizes patients, but in more than half of cases it actually reverses many Alzheimer’s symptoms.

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

this is amazing. In 1963 a deranged "journalist" asks JFK why he won't block Soviet oil to Cuba because "Castro would not be able to survive two weeks" without it. JFK answers because that would obviously constitute an act of war. Now the Trump-Epstein regime is actively blocking ships delivering oil, and the entire Western media class launders it as perfectly normal and just. They're literally enacting the murderous starvation war policy going back to the start of the revolution, and the entire world is just sitting there and looking at it while the Western media and political class launders it and salivates over how great and awesome it is as they talk about "human rights" and "sovereignty".
