Well, when an oil-producing nation.
Who allegedly supplies about 40–50% of its domestic energy requirements.
Can't keep their hospital lights on.
Something is very wrong indeed.
It's tragic to think that this can happen.

Scuttlebutt is...
Somebody had to rip the band-aid off.
They were failing to begin with, and the sooner they fail, the better for Greater Cuba.
Cuba should be the tourist mecca of the Caribbean; if done right, it will be. Loads of American Cubans ready to invest in thier home island
Good for me, good for you...

Trump's March statements—"We cut off all the oil. Cuba will fall" and "I think I can do anything I want with it"—reflect escalating U.S. pressure, contrasting $6 million in February aid, while the UN warns of imminent humanitarian collapse.

What makes this war 'classified'. I don't understand why you say that.
We know what the objective of this war is.
And it's being fought in public eye, reported on as it goes.
Strategies to make those objectives happen are always classified in every war.
I'm still not understanding why you call this war 'classified'.
This is the last time I'll ask. I don't think we are understanding each other.

I find it interesting that people are quick to point out potential war crimes from Trump, but fail to state the war crimes that Iran has been engaged in for the past three weeks, targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, and threatening water de-salting plants.

Seems to me it's easy to think that way.
As long as you are not on a ventilator in Cuba.
Not that i imagine anyone would be conscious, given the sedation.

Iran's many crimes are a given.
But Trump is meant to be better than that.
I don't see anyone on here supporting Iran.

The reality is that multiple sides in this conflict are being accused of actions that could qualify as war crimes.
You cannot target civilian infrastructure essential for survival, like water, electricity, etc.
You are supposed to know better.
The United States presents itself as a country that upholds international law and norms.
So when it's accused of actions that can harm civilians.
Like bombing their power or water systems, eyebrows are apt to be raised.

So ... Iran gets a free pass from having their war crimes pointed out because 'it's expected from them'.
Yeah ... okay ... got it.

So much for help being on the way for the poor sods who protested the regime.
