So does Russia.
Kremlin: we call on the United States to show common sense.
Russia is urging that the United States abandon its naval blockade on the communist-run island, stressing that more room must be given for legitimate negotiations.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told his Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodriguez on Wednesday that Cuba is “a brotherly nation” – according to Reuters.
The Cuban FM visited Moscow Wednesday. This as blackouts and severe fuel shortages have only been compounded by the US oil emargo.
“Together with most members of the international community, we call on the United States to show common sense and responsibility and refrain from plans for a naval blockade of the Island of Freedom,” said Lavrov.
“We categorically reject the unfounded accusations against Russia and Cuba and our cooperation, which allegedly pose a threat to the interests of the United States or anyone else.”
“We are extremely worried about Cuba’s 🇨🇺 deepening socio-economic crisis amid a decades-long embargo, extreme weather events & recent US 🇺🇸 measures restricting oil shipments. This is having an increasingly severe impact on the human rights of people in #Cuba.” – @UNHumanRights pic.twitter.com/XWEt2MGleG

Speaking to reporters early this week, President Trump touted his tightened embargo on Cuba, pointing to moves to choke off Venezuelan oil flows and pressure Mexico to halt crude exports to the island – steps that have triggered acute fuel shortages and near total airline stoppages at Havana’s main international airport.
“Cuba is right now a failed nation, and they don’t even have jet fuel for airplanes to take off, clogging up their runway,“ Trump said aboard Air Force One. Trash is also piling up across cities in neighborhoods, as there’s literally not enough gas to power the trucks.
Lavrov Pleads To US For ‘Brotherly Nation’
Obama-era money laundering operations were running through the Cayman Islands using USAID as a front, disguising it as “foreign aid.”
During the Obama administration, rogue operations were running in Cuba, using USAID. USAID pumped $1.2 BILLION into activist groups, teaching them how to use Facebook, Twitter, hashtags, and coordinate street protests.
All of it was structured to fool the American people, Congress, and even the White House. Obama even secretly funded a Twitter clone for Cuba called Zunzuneo (slang for hummingbird), built to look like it came from Cubans.
First it pushed harmless content like sports and weather… then it flipped to political propaganda, organizing dissent, and fueling mass protests.
They routed the money through Cayman Islands accounts, claiming it was “Pakistani aid” while secretly funding digital psyops and street uprisings. These are all a part of your “color revolutions.” Ladies and gentleman, these people have been robbing YOU and our COUNTRY blind for decades, while you also pay for propaganda against yourself and your own demise.
