Among real food and power shortages that Republicans pretend are happening on the other side of the Florida Strait, Cubans have taken to the streets to protest the insufficient supply of necessary commodities, and Havana’s government is blaming the US for its citizens’ dissatisfaction, NBC News reports.
Saying the US is being “interventionist” with “contempt” for the Cuban people, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said of US State Department denials, “We are free, sovereign and independent, and we are going to continue building our revolution, despite the tightening of the blockade, despite the fact that we have been included on a spurious list that can only be invented by a government as genocidal and as hegemonic as the government of the United States.”
If Díaz-Canel wasn’t a committed communist, he and Donald Trump sound like they would be good friends, with Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin.
