Kristen Welker: "I want to start with President Trump because President Trump's threats to take over Cuba come as the United States has removed President Maduro from power, has invaded Iran and killed its Supreme Leader. Do you fear you could be killed or arrested by the United States?"
Miguel Díaz-Canel:
"That is a very interesting question.
Those of us who have leadership positions in the revolution have a strong commitment to our revolution and to our heroic people. In this connection, our responsibility entails the conviction and the commitment that we are willing to give our lives for the revolution and the cause we defend.
For me, that is not a matter of concern.
If the time comes, I don't think there would be any justification for the United States to launch a military aggression against Cuba or for the U.S. to undertake a surgical operation or the kidnapping of a president.
If that happens, there will be fighting and it will be a struggle, and we will defend ourselves. And if we need to die, we'll die, because as our national anthem says, 'Dying for the homeland is to live.'"
Kristen Welker:
"What you're saying is very powerful.
Are you afraid for yourself, for your family, or are you prepared to, as you say, make the ultimate sacrifice if you are attacked?"
Miguel Díaz-Canel:
"I have no fear. I am willing to give my life for the revolution. Of course, I would -- I wouldn't like that to be the attitude of the U.S. Government."
Let’s give Miguel the chance to prove it...

My gosh, what a blithering idiot! How about a little context?

My God, Kristen, next time just get down on your knees in front of him and give him a ________. It would be less humiliating.
Welker is someone who thinks she is very intelligent when in fact she doesn’t have the sense to pour piss out of a boot.
The stinking “revolution” has only benefitted the leaders and done nothing for anyone else.
Donald Trump: OK.
She’s an idiot.
She should have told him the revolution has become the hated system worse that Batista ever was, that has done far more harm to the Cuban people than he ever did.
They are now the proletariat that must be removed & destroyed.
