I bet they do. Never mind actual Cubans might need the aid, lets stop that because if we hurt Cubans more the government will topple. US aid could offer a lifeline to the Cuban people. If you don't think that could impact Cubans view of their government then I'm guessing UR an ideologue.

These same people say nothing about the destruction going on in Bolivia. They do not care because it is Bolivia. They really do not care. At all. The Amazon is not just Brazil. These people would love you to believe that is so.

Masaya is the most anti-OrMu bit of Nic and today they showed it. I can so guess what Mr Sanchez would say about Nic. When it comes to Fabian Hamilton I am not so sure.

Here's the President of the employers federation in Venezuela defending trade unionism. The Western left is off the scale clueless about Venezuela when they even bother. Mostly they don't bother. Not hard to see why. Its depressing for them. There is a very good reason why Venezuela is never mentioned by a huge slab of the Western left. Because they were wrong.

Cuba's Internet is down amid reports of protests against the ongoing blackout and the regime's incompetence happening in several locations. There are also reports of troops on the streets. "People have already learned that to solve problems you have to protest."
"Remember: the blockade is from the PCC. There is no electricity, there is no oil, there is no food, but there are resources to repress."

Daniel Ortega last night called the Pope a dictator, called the American official dealing with him a "poor negro tasked with barking at Cuba, Nicaragua & Venezuela", called Gabriel Boric a "lapdog" and said that the January 6 Congress invaders are "political prisoners". This plus the explicit attacks on the European Union mean that the result will be the much further isolation of Nicaragua.

G*d this is dreadful. 'Its a proxy war' and still Rogers is banging on about negotiations. His entire point is that Ukraine cannot be allowed to win because nukes and cos Russia's rout helps America. That's it. Total amateur. Get better guests, Owen. Image Ya gotta hear this. I spat my drink out at more than one point. Owen does pushback, in his own rambly way.

What a difference a day makes. 24 little hours. Brought the sun and the flowers. Where there used to be rain.
Here endeth the use of "... rather than pursue a negotiated end to it." Time for a new line 🪦 The KSP for this crowd is why oh why doesnt the US makes them foreigns negotiate. That's been their messaging for months. Now what.

For those asking why the Stoppers don't have a Ukrainian at their Labour fringe meeting. 1. this👇 happens when they do, 2. they have two possible Ukies who agree with them who they could ask. 3. Having a real leftist Ukie there would destroy them. Utterly destroy them. This Ukrainian feminist peacenik, Nina Potarska, was the token Ukie used by Stop Some Wars and elsewhere in the Spring. Read what she is saying now to see why they've never asked her back. pressegauche.org/Les-femmes-ne-…

He sounds like a Youtuber. And the worst sort who only hears what he wants to hear from the locals - as we know from multiple visits to Caracas. A bog standard Yank, in other words. Apologies to non bog standard Yanks.

Lynch's line here about the Euromaidan is *exactly the same* as Boris Johnson's was in 2016. That the EU "provoked" the Euromaidan. Lynch + the RMT are backing Ukraine now but this is a reminder how silly myths about Ukraine hang around. My bet is Mick is unaware that the EU was trying to negotiate to keep Yanuk in office. Here again is the actual history for Brexiteers - including Lynch.

Big protest today in Caracas by trade unionists and supporters, led by teachers. They are opposed to the severe austerity programme that has been imposed on public sector workers. Their beef is a wee bit more serious than this tweet suggests but serious enough for these folks to notice.

This photo from last night symbolises ☭ Cuba.
That's an empty luxury hotel all lit up whilst below are blackouts. The regime is spending 5x as much on building hotels as it is on basic infrastructure. More than a quarter of its budget goes on hotels. #SOSCuba pic @14ymedio Image The 'embargo' did not force Cuba to invest everything in tourism. The 'embarago' didn't force the Cuba communists to refuse to do what Vietnam did and allow entrepreneurship to grow. The 'embargo' is not why Cuban agriculture is a disaster. All that would be the CCP's fault.

Emily Thornbery has yet to even acknowlegde how she was used by Russia. Because she was. The left were used. The very thought that smart folks might fall for disinfo .. Thornberry has been challenged to her face about this. She chose.

I am named in this because I tweeted a lot about Ukraine 8 years ago. Me. I know. A bunch of the left took all this bs seriously because they listen to conspiracists and are *wide DF open to propaganda*. I look forward to the folks realising they were had. Yeah, @EmilyThornberry

This book cover shows the 'Odessa Massacre', a Russian propaganda campaign from 2015 about Ukrainian nazis murdering Russian speakers that they poured a lot of resources into pushing. It is still being pushed to this day. Local activists who nobody has heard of, supported by Ukrainian NGOs, actually investigated where the corrupt authorities would not and found incompetence as key. None of this even dented the legend.

FFS. 8yrs to get this into peoples heads that this 👇 is *made up* and fictionalised 'civil war' is the entire point of Russia's propaganda and war. The problem here is that @jaketapper has not apologised for referring to "civil war" hours later cos nobody in America understands what he just did. The West *starts off* in any infowar with this bs level of ignorance.
