Foreign Minister Thanks Vietnamese Analyst for Support of Cuba

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez thanked Vietnamese analyst Sony Thăng today for challenging the U.S. government’s characterization of the island as a nation of incompetents.

“Your arguments expose the fraudulent agenda of the U.S. Secretary of State, focused on manipulating public opinion with deceitful pretexts and repeated lies about Cuba, its people, and its government,” stated the Cuban Foreign Minister on X.

Through the same platform, Thăng expressed the view that “Cuba is not a disaster because Cubans are incompetent.”

“Cuba is a poor country that has survived more than 60 years of blockade by the world’s richest empire,” he asserted.

They call them incompetent, he argued, “while ignoring that Washington has tried, every decade, to strangle its economy, sabotage its development, and punish any country that trades with them.”

“The miracle is not that Cuba is poor,” he emphasized, considering it miraculous that “after the Bay of Pigs, assassination attempts, terrorism, sanctions, and embargoes, Cuba still has doctors, schools, and a state that never knelt down or begged the U.S. to be allowed to exist.”

If Cuba is destroyed, he asked, “what do you call a country that spends trillions on wars and still cannot provide its people with free healthcare, affordable housing, or education without debt?”

“I look at the same island and see something different: a small country that refused to sell its sovereignty and still suffers punishment for the crime of not wanting to be someone else’s property,” stated the analyst.
