Last I checked they’re defending Lebanon from a literal invasion lib.

A huge win for humanity.

Incredible that somebody could describe a person who is directly involved in facilitating a literal genocide and who just praised political assassinations as somebody who is a champion of rights and laws.

a lost redditor appears

Ah yes, the Financial Times are gaslighting you spreading Putler propaganda. Peak reddit brain on display here. 😂

The people doing human rights violations are the people in the US government. The call is coming from inside the house.

just fascists agreeing with each other

The quality of leadership in the west was incomparable to the imbeciles who are in charge today. The west refusing to have dialogue with Russia is precisely what led to the war starting in the first place.

lol yeah

But who will chew up this statement and feed it to me like a baby bird. How am I supposed to form an opinion without a media propagandist telling me what to think!

how to say you don’t understand the concept of biases

I mean Russia would continue doing trade with Cuba regardless of what the US says. And if US started sabre rattling then Russia would send armed ships to escort its cargo ones. Even the US wouldn’t be crazy enough to directly attack Russian ships trading with Cuba.

I imagine Russia would. Not because they want to defend communism in Cuba, but because they would want to show that they can’t be bullied by the US. We already saw an example of this with Russia doing naval exercises with Cuba just recently. I also can’t imagine that the US would dare attack Chinese ships going to Cuba. As long as there are nations that can’t be bullied by the US who are willing to trade with Cuba there’s nothing the US can do.

This is why the financial system is such a big factor. When everybody was using SWIFT for international trade, the US didn’t have to threaten military conflict. They could just do sanctions or cut countries out of SWIFT. That was enough of a deterrent to make trade with Cuba unappealing. Now that more and more trade is happening outside the dollar, that threat is no longer there.

a self referential comment if I ever saw one

Would be a real shame if something happened to all your assets that are stored in our financial system.

That would be risking WW3, even during the Cold War the US didn’t dare blockade Soviet ships coming to Cuba.

Good news is that US can get fucked at this point. Cuba can trade with BRICS completely outside the dollar. Meanwhile, the burger empire can seethe and cope over it.

Cuba is being punished because it’s a threat of a good example for the rest of Latin America. How long do you think US puppets would last if Cuba was allowed to be prosperous.

BRICS payment system can’t come online fast enough. Dollar based trade was the worst thing to have happened to the global economy.

Yup, that’s what I think is happening. Now that the US can’t shoulder the entire burden of the MIC for NATO, the other members need to start pitching in.
