Trump's Incongruous Threats Against Cuba
Cuba is "a failed nation," he said again, lamenting that "they don't have fuel for the planes to take off, and they're piling up on the runways." He defended the fact that "there's no oil, no money, nothing" flowing to Cuba, in a cynical reference to US sanctions against countries that sell or supply oil to Havana.
If Cuba is a failed nation mired in the worst crisis, "without money and without anything," how can it be claimed, as the Executive Order of January 29 asserts, that the island poses a threat to the national security of the United States? How dangerous could Cuba be to US national security when Trump himself rules out an invasion of the island because, according to him, "it wouldn't be a very tough operation"?
On the other hand, he insisted on a topic that the Cuban government has repeatedly denied in recent days. According to the president, his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is "talking with Cuba right now" about an "agreement."
What agreement could Cuba possibly reach with the person who is currently the main architect of the punitive measures against the island? Would Cuba's freedom be on the negotiating table, as those clowns turned social media influencers keep repeating? The only thing the United States can liberate us from is our freedom. Cuba is a victim of the blockade, and apparently, according to the latest measures taken to plunge the Cuban people into a humanitarian crisis, that is not part of their plans.
Once again, the US president asserted that he is "very interested in the people here (in the United States), who were treated very badly by (Fidel) Castro's regime and the Cuban authorities, who have treated them horribly," and anticipated that Cuban-Americans "will be happy when they can return" to the island and reunite with their families.
Has no one told the president that thousands of Cubans residing in the United States regularly visit their families and have legal permission to invest on the island? Or is he referring to the small group of terrorists from the anti-Cuban mafia in Miami who have unsettled issues with Cuban justice? Undoubtedly, his statement has nothing to do with those Cubans who, as Marco Rubio has stated, after seeking refuge in the United States, travel to the island they "fled" from several times a year. Something that, according to the Secretary of State, is unacceptable.
Who, according to Trump, "will be happy when they can return to the island and reunite with their families"—the thousands of Cubans who will be Deported to comply with the Magusian immigration policy? And one last question:
Who does Trump intend to deceive with such incongruous nonsense?
