Biden says U.S. stands with Cuban protesters as communist regime cracks down on demonstrations
CNBC ^ | 7-12-21 | Amanda Macias

The Biden administration expressed concern Monday after sweeping anti-government protests in Cuba were forcibly dissolved at the direction of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermudez.

Sunday’s protests, the largest the communist island has seen since the 1990s, come amid widespread frustration over a crippled economy and severe food shortages. The coronavirus pandemic is pushing the nation’s health-care system to its limit, as well.

“The Cuban people are demanding their freedom from an authoritarian regime. I don’t think we’ve seen anything like these protests in a long long time if, quite frankly ever,” President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House on Monday.

“The U.S. stands firmly with the people of Cuba as they assert their universal rights. And we call on the government of Cuba to refrain from violence in their attempt to silence the voices of the people of Cuba,” the president added.

Democrats stand with them while holding the protesters still until Che can cave their heads in.

The people in Cuba went to the streets to try and make something happen. In the US after Jan 6, not so much.

Yesterday’s line:

“Republicans tear into ‘ridiculous’ State Department tweet tying COVID to the Cuba protests and accuse the Biden administration of ‘playing cover for communists’”

Did Bye-done actually say something reasonable?
I’m looking for something he says that I can agree with at some point.

Don’t you think it would be ironic if Cuban dissidents are able to make their country into a free and open democratic republic while the United States becomes a Marxist oligarchy?

Did not JFK say something similar when he stabbed in the back the anti-commie Bay of Pigs invaders.

The US had to ransom those prisoners with 500 “tractors” actually bulldozers.
