Some Cubans say everyday life on the Caribbean island has reached a breaking point amid a fuel shortage brought about by the U.S. squeezing the country’s oil supply. Meanwhile, Canadian airlines suspended service to the island and are ferrying tourists back home.
“For me, any change for us will be better than what we are living through, because what we are experiencing is not humane,” Isben Peralta told CBC News in a phone interview during a blackout.
“Some of us who have a little business have a bit to eat, but many, many, many people do not have it. It’s very, very bad.”
Peralta lives in Ciego De Avila, in central Cuba, where he operates a small pizzeria out of his home. He says he’s lucky — he still gets power a few hours per day, but says that’s only because he lives near a location where fuel is delivered.
You’d risk sanctions and regime change? I mean cool, but there’s a reason nobody steps in to help whoever the US is kicking around, except countries already getting sanctions.
tRump wouldn’t be able to do a regime change here, and as far as sanctions go he’s already doing that.
The fuck we should be sitting around watching him do shitty things to a nation who has done sfa to him. Bullies need to be brought to their knees, not coddled like a small child.
You don’t think the CIA has bot nets, money, and assets in your media capable of ensuring an acceptable candidate wins the election? Weird how rarely leaders hostile to the US are elected in the west, despite having a direct conflict of interest, and how if they are elected, they’re never able to actually accomplish anything.
Then again, maybe the senile old man will just order the military to kidnap Justin Trudeau.
Why kidnap JT? Carney is our PM now.
American here, most have no idea that Canada has a prime minister and not president, and JT was the last name most of us heard in relation to the Canadian government.
I doubt very much Trump knows who the current PM is, so I could absolutely see him demanding the capture of “president Trudeau”
