The Cuban government has refused a request by the U.S. Embassy in Havana to allow it to import diesel for its generators while the Trump administration continues to impose a fuel blockade on the island, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
“…Maduro…who was ousted in a U.S. military operation in January and whisked to New York to face federal drug conspiracy charges”
*Kidnapped.
Ftfy.
Cunts. My country is run, and fed propagandized bullshit, by sycophantic cunts. It sickens me.
If they had said “arrested” or something maybe you’d have a point, but “whisked” isn’t far off.
I meant kidnapped in place of ousted. We literally just… Kidnapped a sitting ruler, and then just… Moved in the news cycle. Like, I know Maduro wasn’t a good guy… But the fact that we just… Dragged him out of his house and “whisked” him out of the country? It’s unreal to me in this day and age. I know it’s not entirely unprecedented, but I always assumed that all happened because of the ability to obscure the facts from the public eye, due to the lack of mass communication.
Does blowing up Iran’s supreme leader seem better or worse, then? I dunno, it’s all just war by international laws and norms. (Although Trump has to avoid calling it that for domestic legal reasons)
Worse, due to the number of people killed in that process…and the fact that it’s still happening, regardless of all the BS/rhetoric from government officials “outraged” at the illegality of it all. I actually think they stopped worrying about calling it anything else, at this point.
