Defend Cuba From US Efforts to Crush It

The U.S. government under Trump and Rubio is intensifying its decades-long economic blockade of Cuba to deliberately create conditions of starvation and collapse.


The barbaric and lethal executive order signed on January 29, 2026, is economic warfare.  Trump deliberately engineers starvation and collapse.  I am so glad I never voted for this cretin.  If I had ever voted for him I think I would have to get off my ass and atone for my mistake in some way.

So it is good I never made that mistake.  I'll leave it for others to do the atoning.

Russian Oil Ships Bound for Cuba: A Defiant Move Against U.S. Energy Blockade

The Russian oil tanker, 'Anatoly Kolodkin', owned by the state-run shipping company Sovcomflot and under sanctions from the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, is en route to the Matanzas oil terminal with a cargo of 730,000 barrels of crude. This significant energy shipment to Cuba marks the first in over two months, with an expected arrival on Monday, March 23.


Cuba has been without oil since January 9, following Mexico's last delivery.  After Nicolás Maduro was apprehended in an operation sanctioned by Trump on January 3rd.

QuoteIt goes against the narrative that Iran has been crippled by the barrage of American/Israel airstrikes.

Anything that goes against their narrative of total annihilation is an admission of defeat because the 'regime' is still in power and the straight is closed.  Defeat will not be admitted.  Trump always blames someone else.  But since there is nobody else to blame, Trump has to frame what has happened so far as a smoking awesome victory or man up.  Trump manning up to anything is like asking for rain on a sunny day.  And that also goes for anyone bewitched by his greatness.  Doubling down is Trumps only viable survival strategy.  Trump is going to double down our asses into a nuclear winter.

As RE has pointed out.  Multiple airstrikes on bases yesterday, and America loses no soldiers.  It is hard to believe.  Very hard to believe.  Yet there are many true believers.

Just remember the Western media is downplaying the success of Iran's attacks on middle-east infrastructure as it goes against the narrative that Iran has been crippled by the barrage of American/Israel airstrikes.

What I also gather is the UAE government is actively suppressing any information on the damage taking place in their country. It is not a stretch to assume other rich Arab states are following the same protocol as they wish to protect their image of being a safe haven country. All this means is it is quite likely the reality on the ground is worse than what the media is portraying as the Western and Arab media have a vested interest in suppressing coverage of Iran's military successes.

The big question is how long this conflict will last and what impact this will have on Trump's presidency.

Epic Fury ( The Editors )

Modern Western powers, specifically the U.S. and Israel—have succumbed to an "adoration of force" that prioritizes brutal domination over moral or legal justification. It warns that this intoxication with power and the rejection of human limits will inevitably trigger a "Nemesis".

Declaring disavowal of illegal war is the least any American should do

Joe Kent, in a message on X, announced his resignation and wrote: " I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Gas Hub in Flames: Qatar Contains ‘Extensive Damage’ After Iranian Missile Strike

The flames that lit up the night sky over Qatar’s northern coast have been extinguished, but the damage they caused extends far beyond the walls of the Ras Laffan Industrial Area. For the first time in this escalating conflict, a major energy facility has been directly struckand the world is watching to see what comes next.


Chucklehead Trump escalates.  Trump did what BIbi told him to do, and Trump let Bibi bomb gas facilities in Iran.

So Iran responds tit for tat.  No surprise, and Iran's leaders would be fools not to respond in kind.  Trump means them no love and Trump is demented.  If you give Trump anything he only takes more.  Taking more than he should is how this emotional vampire gets his self-esteem.  Trump is toxic and is killing people the way a small child might kill a bug.  To make himself feel big.  Because inside he is a very tiny man.

QuoteIran's Revolutionary Guards issued a stark warning to neighboring Gulf nations. Their oil and gas industries would be "completely destroyed" if Israel or the United States conduct any further attacks against Iranian energy infrastructure.

The Sampson Option is why no fool self-serving American president ever was this stupid before.

Iran’s “Sampson Option”: The Energy Pipeline

That’s what’s starting to happen in the Persian Gulf. As the conflict involving Iran heats up, Tehran has been taking aim at the region’s economic lifelines … LNG terminals, oil refineries, and tanker traffic moving through the Strait of Hormuz.


Trump murders and sacrifices the prosperity and blood of America and you let him.

That is what the Germans did in WWII.
