The Biden administration on Thursday sanctioned Cuban officials and the government’s special forces unit “The Boinas Negras” for human rights abuses amid unrest.

“I unequivocally condemn the mass detentions and sham trials that are unjustly sentencing to prison those who dared to speak out in an effort to intimidate and threaten the Cuban people into silence,” said President Joe Biden. “The Cuban people have the same right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly as all people. The United States stands with the brave Cubans who have taken to the streets to oppose 62 years of repression under a communist regime.”

I find that statement highly ironical.

Hmmmm, perhaps he meant to say “I unequivocally condemn the mass detentions and sham trials that are unjustly sentencing to prison those who dared to speak out in an effort to intimidate and threaten the Trump supporters into silence.”

Your Marxist inner circle is doing the same thing that the Marxist Castro Bro’s are doing. Maybe the Castro’s will let their “political prisoners” go when you let your 500 “political prisoners” go.

I wonder now that the Castros are truly gone will their “magic” still have sway with the populace?

1. Place extreme travel restrictions on the Cuban UN delegations. Far more strict than those placed on the Soviet delegation.
2. One violation of the above immediately makes the entire delegation persona non grata.
3. Make high speed runs close to Cuban airspace.
I would not expect the Biteme Regime to do number 3. Not if any refugee from the socialist workers paradise will be turned away.

This is totally half-hearted and just bluster for the benefit Americans stupid enough to believe these feral fascists.

The Blame Lighter Melanins crowd is gonna push back against Biden. The BLM’ers support the marxist Cuban authorities punishing free speech.

Sleepy Joe is only going to sanction them. Big deal—NOT! It would be a big deal if he were to Eiger Sanction them. Perhaps the Cuba people should remind the communists running Cuba how poorly the Cuban military performed in Grenada.

Spent my birthday there in Oct 1983. Although it was in a C-130. :)

Right.

Did he just go off with a loudmouth statement or did he weigh the wrath of AOC and the Squad and the Black Caucus? Wonder what’s going on.
