U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused the governments of Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba on Tuesday of being “enemies of humanity” and causing the migration crisis in the region. “These three regimes that exist in Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba are enemies of humanity and have created a migration crisis. If it weren’t for these three regimes, there wouldn’t be a migration crisis in the hemisphere,” Rubio said at a press conference in Costa Rica.
“They created it because they are countries where their systems don’t work,” declared the U.S. chief diplomat, son of Cuban immigrants, in Spanish. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel called Rubio’s statements “shameless,” while Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil accused him of having a “pathetic” and “sick obsession” with the three countries. “Shamelessness once again taking over cynical U.S. politicians. It’s proven that the migration exodus in #Cuba is proportional to the tightening of the #blockade, which deprives our people of essential goods. Humanity is endangered by your neofascism,” Díaz-Canel wrote on X. Gil, for his part, added on his Telegram channel that the “only enemies of humanity are those who, with their war machinery and abuse, have spent decades sowing chaos and misery in half the world.”
During his visit to Costa Rica, Rubio particularly referred to neighboring Nicaragua, where socialist President Daniel Ortega and his wife Rosario Murillo obtained absolute powers last week through a questionable constitutional reform. “Nicaragua has become a family dynasty with a co-presidency where they have basically tried, for example, to eliminate the Catholic Church and everything religious or anyone who could threaten that regime’s power has been punished,” Rubio declared.

Why hasn’t the Bishop of Rome said anything about the persecution of faithful Catholics in these countries?
I know people who have bad stories about Nicaragua.
You know why.
I have some bad news for Rubio.
The State Department is filled to the brim with enemies of humanity.
He needs to find them and get rid of them as his first priority—or all his other efforts will be doomed to failure.
Yep. They are. Along with China, North Korea, and all socialist nations of Europe.
Sorta like what's happening in DC right now, but I digress.
Humanity is endangered by your neofascism,” Díaz-Canel wrote on X.
“It’s proven that the migration exodus in #Cuba is proportional to the tightening of the #blockade, which deprives our people of essential goods.” Well sir, how has your neofascism treated your people that they want to come here? Tell me what essential goods are being deprived?
You are leaving some of their allies out.
Why don’t you(Rubio)try lifting sanctions on those countries for awhile and see if that helps the migration problem? Otherwise, all you’re doing is inviting China and Russia there, then you’ll be complaining about that too.
we’re going to have to change his name to “BIG Marco Rubio...”
Will be interesting to see what Rubio is made of.
I hope he shines in his new position.
He’s been a little weak on some issues before...but folks will be quite forgiving if he rocks this post..
Good luck to him.
If Trump trusts him, then I trust him.
Pope Francis says imprisonment of Nicaraguan bishop reminds him of Hitler’s dictatorship
Good for Marco! Repressing communist governments.
Well so far Trump 2.0 has exceeded my expectations. Not everything will be a win but it’s been a great 16 days and counting.
If this country can help change, sell some goods, maybe come out ahead budget/debt wise with these people by bartering with them then OK. What do they need? I probably got it and I’m willing to sell a commodity.
“Otherwise, all you’re doing is inviting China and Russia there, then you’ll be complaining about that too.”
Let ‘em. They are bottomless pits. Russia hasn’t got a pot to piss in and supporting Cuba helped bankrupt the old Soviet Union. China can have the same joy.
Good for you. Sec. Rubio. None of this ‘don’t call out the bad guys because it will make us look bad, especially to our own loser socialists” crap.
Truth is better than political lies.
I agree to a point. Trump has learned, but he’s still got a history or picking to real dirtbags. I am cautiously optimistic, what Rubio is doing lately looks fantastic.
We like to tell ourselves that bad governments are the problem, with the people that they rule over being essentially good. Experience is otherwise. When corrupt and thuggish rule lasts long enough, it deforms the character of a people.
