President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order broadening U.S. sanctions against the Cuban government, two White House officials told Reuters. He seeks to put more pressure on Havana, following his administration’s challenge to Venezuela’s leadership. The new sanctions target people, entities and affiliates supporting Cuba’s security apparatus, or those complicit in corruption or serious human rights violations, officials said. Government agents, officials or supporters are also included. It was not immediately clear which specific people or entities were impacted by the sanctions under the order, which Reuters first reported. The order authorizes secondary sanctions for conducting or facilitating transactions with those targeted under the order, officials said.

    That’s the thing fuckin tankies struggle with the most to understand, is that I don’t have to support either side of any conflict.

    I insult that PDF file daily, but one thing I can absolutely assure you of is that the Cuban regime cannot survive without the people. If they were smart the people would be trying to reform and build analogical bridges. They would not be rallying behind their idiot “president” who is willing to sacrifice Cuban life in order to create slight advantages for Russian and Iranian conflicts.

    As far as I’m concerned, the majority of Cubans are equivalent to MAGAts.
