Former U.S. National Security Adviser General Mike Flynn caused an international stir by stating on social media that “Cuba is next ,” after expressing his support for Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado and the Venezuelan people.

The message, published on the X platform with the phrase “ You're next ,” was interpreted by analysts as a nod to a possible political change on the island , following recent calls for freedom in several countries in the Caribbean and Latin America.

Flynn, one of Donald Trump's closest former officials , has maintained a critical stance toward authoritarian regimes in the region and has reiterated his support for movements seeking to restore democracy in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

The post generated mixed reactions: while some users celebrated the message as a show of solidarity with oppressed peoples, others considered it a political provocation. The Cuban government has not yet issued an official statement .

What makes you believe that invading Cuba or Venezuela is unacceptable in the eyes of the international community they allowed a genocide to occur I believe you’re overestimating the moral character of these countries, bourgeois concepts like human rights, due process and empathy are being dismantled and all thats left is barbarity

First of all, let's clear something up. The countries responsible for the genocide are US and Europe. Not the Global South. Evidence of this could be easily found in the following report:

In other words, the Palestinian genocide is a Western funded and supported genocide. Fighting against Israel is the same as fighting the whole West and we can also see this when Iran defended themselves from the illegal israeli attack. Tons of western countries and their bootlickers offered their military services to defend the entity.

The real international community, which is the Global South and west's workers, are appalled from this and we are forced to watch this depravity. Every voting session from the UNSC is being trampled by the US veto. With this in mind, you seem to be confusing being forced to watch with "allowing" the genocide. You are diluting the blame from the real genociders and also ignoring the people globally doing their best to protest and agitate against this barbarity.

Also, regarding the empathy, it actually increased globally. Now, people are studying and learning of the barbarity of Israel when before it was hidden and ignored thanks to the West's media. While exposing the barbarity, the West is also exposing themselves and their barbarity as well. This has helped to build a global movement of resistance.

What would a UN condemnation achieve exactly? Israel treats it like toilet paper

There are plenty of global south Zionist supporters. Nigeria, Uganda, India, Eritrea, Cameroon, Morocco, Papua New Guinea, Togo, Myanmar, Paraguay, Tonga, Vietnam, hell most of the neighborhood of Israhell enables the genocide of Palestinians and suppresses their own populace for it.

However you are correct, it is the free peoples of this world, the conscious working class, that is actively fighting against Zionist influence and refuse any sense of further complacency. Only the true government of Yemen, the houthis, are fighting with us, truly.

Trade is not support though. Even if trade from these countries stop, it will not stop Israel because the real support comes from the West. One example is this one: US spends a record $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since last Oct. 7 . The US is literally giving free money to sustain the zionist entity.

If support from the US and Germany stopped, then we can actually see the entity finally stopping their genocide for real.

Obviously the us is the only reason israhell exists. But its not just trade that some of these collaborators do. They literally helped shoot down Iranian missiles, or provide diplomatic support as in the case of Uganda for example. A Ugandan judge literally shields Israhell in the ICJ.

Zionism must be attacked on very inch of soil. We cant not sit around and "hope" for americans to suddenly not support israhell, given how quickly mamdani moderated on the israhell issue, their left is even beyond useless.

Oh, you are right about those being examples of direct support to the zionists. Also, those are yet another example of fascist countries in the global south that are backed and supported by the imperialists.

For every collaborator country like the Ugandan regime and the bootlicker arab monarchies, the strategies are the same as in the West. To rally the people against the zionists and to expose them at every turn. Destroying the backbone of the zionist beast will yield the end of the genocide and the end the entity. We have to keep fighting.

While disappointing, trade is not support. I do wish these countries would do more though. God bless Ansarallah for being the only regional power to do something about it.

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I singled out these countries because they do more than just trade. If I included trade then it would include most of the nations on this planet sans a few (North Korea for example), who dont trade with israhell or still push the two-state solution.

You forgot Guatemala, the OG zionists in the Americas. "israel" helped them genocide the Mayans

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 17 hours ago

Tbf most military dictatorships in LATAM were very chummy with them. I restricted myself to current big supporters. Idk how Guatemala is now, if its as bad as El Salvador.
