    Now it is the turn of the rest of the world. All of the workers of the world have to break the slavish servant mentality and fight back against the US genocidal policy.

    Cuba gave way too much to the world when Covid hit. Are we going to allow all of our countries to abandon Cuba in this dire times provoked by the fascist US regime?

    I’m confused, is Delcy Rodriguez not mostly continuing the same policy? I thought the Bolivarian Revolution was still going, in spite of them kidnapping Maduro.

    Also, Cuba has I’m sure done immense work keeping itself alive against imperialist threats. They have struggled for a long time because of siege from a much more powerful country, but that doesn’t mean they are helpless.

      Sadly, the US naval siege is still ongoing so Venezuela is unable to help Cuba. As evidence of this, the US still stealing oil tankers in the Caribbean and chased the ones that are currently helping Cuba.

        That makes more sense to me that it’s because of the ramp up in US attacks. What I don’t understand is the OP implication that Maduro is somehow the deciding factor here. Unless Venezuela has a fleet that can stand up to the US and it’s not using it only because Maduro isn’t there, I don’t see how he is the difference.

            Venezuela doesn’t do that out of it’s own will, remember they’re military blockaded by US navy at this moment. It’s very likely that’s one of the stolen oil tankers 🤷

            1. That doesn’t address the point about Cuba specifically.

            2. It is in question what’s actually going on with that story. See: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10668800 Is there a source on the Venezuelan government explicitly approving it to normalize relations with israel? I’d think there’d be some kind of statement for a thing like that if the goal was to have ties.

            I mean, the bloomberg source says:

            Venezuela is sending its first crude oil cargo to Israel in years as the Latin American country’s exports open up following the capture of its president Nicolas Maduro.

            The cargo is being transported to Bazan Group, the Mediterranean country’s top crude processor, people with knowledge of the deal said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public.

            Why would they be all cagey about it if they’re capitulating?

    I was daydreaming about how to bust him out of prison and escort him into Beijing, China for protection (as much as i would like his return, he’s not safe in even his own country)
