And JD Vance explained how the US blockade of Cuba while not at war wasn’t economic terrorism even though the Iranian blocade of the Strait of Hormuz was. He explained this by saying the Pope should be careful about theology.

Jesus Christ I saw this notification and my heart just dropped before I saw it was you

Same. I think that's a clear indicator that invoking the 25th amendment is way overdue.

Don’t get comfortable. Against her will, Laura is often a prophet as well as a Saint.

I was worried he was moving a bit slowly on this but of course he has to consult with Netanyahu about how much money will be left to obliterate, I mean liberate, Cuba after the next $450 million transfer to Israel.

Sums denominated in mere millions are chump change, in the scheme of things.

Deborah Ewing's avatar

Sadly true, hundreds of millions of $ doesn’t buy many bombs but could feed more people than they kill.

If I was Cuba I would develop a nuclear weapons with all possible speed, nickname it Big Daddy, sign it 'with love from humanity' and drop it on the White House

Rebel Nun's avatar

Unlike Trump, Cubans know how close they are geographically to the US and how a nuclear bomb would impact them.

That seems only fair , after all ….

That, especially the last two paragraphs is spot on! Filing her nails 😂😂

Wait until he finds out what the Isle of Wight has in store for the world!

Can old car parts be used to enrich uranium? Unfortunately, I have no old tractors.

I want Spain to adopt a country. Can they do that? They need to annex Cuba somehow. They both speak Spanish. They both have high moral standards. Cuba isn't a religious nation (Note: High educational standard and Free Healthcare explains that) but they would all immediately convert to Catholicism if Spain promised to rescue them from American terrorists. They don't want a Trump Tower in Havana and they are worried Trump only wants them as they are an Island nation and he just wants to run girls and boys for his pedo buddies.

Baz's avatar

I like your thinking susan but Cuba doesn’t need to be annexed, it’s a sovereign nation. How about the rest of the world’s sovereign nations standing together to create a US exclusion zone around the island?

susan cartwright's avatar

Wouldn't that be amazing. But never gonna happen. The world hates Trump but they are letting him destroy GAZA, Lebanon, Cuba. Argentina. Why would they care about Cuba? No one wants to stick their neck out.

susan cartwright's avatar

Sadly, I didn't realise how truely upset I am over Cuba. Kind of the last straw. What next for christ sake?

Scarlett's avatar

Fact checking department: Venezuela, my friend. Argentina is a perfect semi-fashist country, and therefore immune to American bombs.

susan cartwright's avatar

Ha. Thanks for the correction. I knew what I meant. Yes, Argentina was terrific until the 70s take over. Grandparents are still looking for their grandkids. They dropped parents over the ocean. Bodies never found. But kept the babies. What an evil nightmare. But rape and murder is going on in the Trump immigration facilities. We won't find out for years all the trauma those poor people are going through.

Scarlett's avatar

Judging by the looks of the guy who runs Argentina, things are still very much terrifying out there. No beauty parlor can fix that.

Holda, wasn't any Barbie appointed by Trumpy to put a circle of sharks around Guatanamo Bay or whatnot 👀

Ziton's avatar

Ummm. They might not like that either. Cuba went through a lot to be free of Spain, and in those days the US was (kind of, and for their own imperialistic readons) on their side. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_War_of_Independence?wprov=sfti1. Today’s Spain (I call it Spine) is a different proposition, but there is history.

Speculate as we might about what Cubans may like or dislike I’m guessing most people on the island would welcome an end to the current US blockade. The 60 years of sanctions haven’t been a neighbourly thing either. Apparently there is only one economic system tolerated in the region by y’know, the one that vaporises fishing boats.

Pabluante's avatar

Let’s not promote the idea of countries becoming colonies again thanks.

Pabluante's avatar

Nearly 40% of Spanish people are nonreligious

Pabluante's avatar

This comment is so highly ignorant of Cuban history it’s painful to read

susan cartwright's avatar

I have a close friend who lived there for a year. He made me fall in love with Cuba. I am grasping at straws. But you're right. There is nothing we can do about any of it. The one bright spark is the flotilla to GAZA. Oh, and Iran standing up. But other than strongly worded letters by our governments, I guess we have to watch more people die.

Claire Ivins's avatar

(1) Do you know the history of Spanish colonialism in Cuba? (2) and did you also know that Spain doesn’t have a state religion?

susan cartwright's avatar

I know about Spanish colonialism but not specifically how it affected them. I know more modern history. My friend went to Cuba. Said he met a nice girl the 1st night he want out & went home with her, had coffee with her parents that she lived with. Then went up and had sex, and hung with the parents the next morning! He said they don't have half the USA hangups re:religion/sex. He was there to figure out how to market to Cuba. Example of a question "What kind of women do you like?" Typical western idea of marketing: blonde, redhead, big boobs, what type question. This so they could drap the attractive women over the car or whatever they wanted to sell. He was blown away as the men couldn't understand the question. They don't have non stop advertising and billboards down there like that (other than political ones). They are attracted to ALL women: fat, thin, whatever. So no point by in that kind of advertising. He played baseball at the national stadium with a bunch of Friends for fun. Any citizen can do it. He came away wanting to live there. So many stories re: music, cooking etc. Like GAZA they are people with a culture of their own and the Epstien class only care about destroying taking their land. War is 'all about money. Sigh.

Pabluante's avatar

“they would all immediately convert to Catholicism” what the fuck are you talking about? That’s not how anything works

susan cartwright's avatar

It was a joke ( in part) but I've been watching. The people there are so miserable now after decades of sanctions. They are so far ahead of America. Invented lung cancer vaxx. Export doctors.

We’re on a satirical stack P, don’t be too hard on susan.

Martin's avatar

Right on form. Great read ... thank you for sharing. I will give it a re-stack.

Hands off Cuba you big Orange jerk!

US out of North America!

Hmm…..I like your thinking.

What worries me is that this may turn out closer to fact than satire..

Hits way too close to reality these days. With slight modifications, you could land a gig writing for WaPo or another propaganda paper designed to manage the ignorant masses there.

Rebel Nun's avatar

Or maybe the BBC?…(sorry)

Lou Cassivi's avatar

Brilliant, as usual!

Could it be humanly possible that the orange ped is still unaware that he is the laughing stock of the entire non-Western world?

Erik Vynckier's avatar

I am developing a nuclear weapon tomorrow morning in fact.

Rebel Nun's avatar

You just gave Donald the excuse he needs to imprison you and take your house. Do you have any ripe young girls there?

Erik Vynckier's avatar

No, because Donald is too slow and by tomorrow I HAVE a nuclear device which means he's not going to attack.

Uranium by Greenwich and Hydrogen by EDT.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Cuba. Sure, they have lots of free stuff, like healthcare and education through any degrees you qualify for, and cheap-enough-to-be-affordable stuff like rent and transportation within Cuba and tickets to concerts and museums and sports events, but the dirty Commies gave up their freedoms for that! They can’t even bring guns into their free heart surgery or their daughter’s med school graduation (most are women) or to Mass at one of the gorgeous 18th century churches (yes, many many Cubans are practicing Catholics). Sitting ducks for all the criminals!

Good thing they have the lowest crime rate in the Western Hemisphere.
