Cuba enraged over ‘cruel & genocidal’ US blockade impeding anti-coronavirus efforts. 11 Apr, 2020. The suffocating sanctions in place for almost six decades make it extremely difficult for the island nation to import essential supplies needed to battle the coronavirus, Cuban health officials say. “The United States’ economic-financial blockade is the most unfair, severe, prolonged system of sanctions of all time by one country against another,” Nestor Marimon, the Cuban Health Ministry’s international relations director, told reporters.
Imposed at the height of the Cold War, the American blockade has become “even more cruel and genocidal than it normally is... when we don’t have an epidemic,” he said, adding that it has severely hindered Cuba’s procurement of medical supplies on foreign markets, as cited by AFP.
It’s very difficult to buy equipment, supplies, medicines. We’re forced to buy them in far away markets that double, triple the costs and on many occasions they arrive late. According to Marimon, the Health Ministry lost $160 million between April 2019 and March 2020 due to the sanctions, $60 million more than the year prior.
US sanctions have taken a toll on essential transactions related to the fight against coronavirus. Just last week, the delivery of Covid-19 test kits and ventilators donated by Alibaba founder Jack Ma was halted as the company feared breaking the embargo.
TRUMP THINKS THAT HE WILL NEVER ANSWER FOR DEATHS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE INCLUDING CHILDREN in CUBA. Trump is very wrong on that presumption. Same evil thing Trump is doing to people and children in Venezuela. Curses by parents of those dead children might fall of Trump's children. KARMA IS A BITCH.
>This. >And fuck Jews for spreading communism. And fuck all the Americans who for decades are doing business with Communist China and helped to build Communist China economy to the point that Communist China is now a Super Power. You fucking stupid hypocritical American swines.

Yas Forums is now full of unironic neocons who support regime change around the globe and any generic jingoist propaganda that goes with it.
Reminder that Cuba has committed 0 terrorist attacks on the US or its allies, meanwhile Saudi Arabia has constantly and yet Trump is best friends with the KSA and gives multi billion arms deals to them which directly funds terrorism against US troops.

Maybe Cuba shouldn't have decided to use sonic weaponry on US gov officials at the first opportunity to soften relations and this wouldn't happen.
Zachary Taylor
Stupid shit head it was proven over and over again that it wasn't any sonic weaponry, but type of some insects that were producing those sounds during mating season. Some (most) of you Americans are so gullible and very very dumb.
Don't you worry burger. Things are being set in motion. You are just too dumb to grasp it. Hiding behind fake South Korean VPN flag makes you even more stupid.
Connor Price
they'll cheer for him until he ships them to cuban beaches to die like dogs.
Xavier Gomez
Huh? Michael Moore said that Cuba has better health care than us, they should be fine.
no u. for real. The Cubans & Venezuelans in the US are voting AGAINST Marxism, but the dipshits on the left don't listen.
They always have some sorry excuse of "oh, those are just the white Cubans/Venezuelans"
BS. I can legit tell you from first hand experience that's bullshit...
How the fuck does the left idolize Castro & Maduro and completely ignore everyone who suffered under either regime?
Austin Green
like is it the racism or the homophobia of Castro & Che Guevara that attract you dipshits?
Anthony Parker
I guess you are proud that your president Trash is forbidding Cuba (and Venezuela) to but medicine and medical equipment to fight Corona Virus. It shows how evil he is and how evil some (most) Americans are.
>shithole had food before trump thats not how shitholes works kiddo
Angel Gonzalez
why does everyone say this when our sanctions don't include medical supplies? if you want food and clothes too then end whatever bullshit behavior made us sanction you. or, here's a real challenge, take care of yourselves? stupid fucks.
exactly. This faggot can't admit that Communism is shit even with all the Cubans & Venezuelans telling him so & voting Trump in the process
Aiden Howard
you're not going to make a real argument? maricon, vas a seguir hablando mierda?
for real, though, tell that to my starving family fleeing Venezuela currently. talk to literally ANY Cuban or Venezuelan.
stupid fucking muricans
Caleb Brooks
Well they should rely on their communist super science to figure it out instead of relying on the west who will taint them with capitalism if they are allowed to trade.
>why does everyone say this when our sanctions don't include medical supplies? >if you want food and clothes too then end whatever bullshit behavior made us sanction you. or, here's a real challenge, take care of yourselves? stupid fucks. Right now America is acting very evil, America is serving Satan, president Trash is serving Satan. America thinks that it owns the World, but your time of evil power is coming to an end. Like every Evil Empire in the past was destroyed (just look at British Empire) yours Empire America is being destroyed. Those are the last evil acts you are doing to others. Also, just wait when your president Trash will go after your necks. Mark my words that eventually he will.
