You know the CCP runs secret police operations in sovereign countries around the world, where they try to apply Chinese laws to residents of other countries outside of China, right?
They focus mainly on the Chinese diaspora, because they think they own them, but it's not unthinkable that they might target anyone else if it advances their interests.
What do they have secret jail in the secret police station? Or do they just go around writing unenforceable tickets?
There are a lot of ways to fuck up people's lives and control them through a combination of manipulation, intimidation, and character assassination. Havana syndrome is also a real thing, and you don't have to be in Cuba to experience it, but good luck getting a doctor or anybody to take you seriously if you say you're having symptoms.
It doesn't necessarily involve going to secret jail, but if your name winds up on a list of "people whose lives to make hell," then you'd better get used to people thinking you're psychotic whenever you mention people who are stalking/spying on you.
No, its not, Cuba does not have a secret death laser.
That's not even what it is. Are you being facetious?
Yes I am being facetious, do you believe everything the state department says about its enemies, with zero evidence?
btw, it'd be cool if there was a Cuban Space Microwave defrosting CIA agents brains, other than ICE agents, I can't think of someone more deserving.
Not at all, but I do believe the USSR developed technologies that could simultaneously record people in secret while also dosing them with enough radiation and/or hypersonic/infrasonic interference to mess with their biological systems and give them headaches, nausea, vertigo, confusion, fatigue, and other symptoms, and bugged the walls of the US embassy in Havana with said devices.
I also believe the CIA developed a radiation gun that can give someone a heart attack/migraines/psychosis at a distance while leaving no audible or visible traces.
Just because "USSR = Bad" doesn't mean "CIA = Good." Not everybody has the cognitive development level of a cro magnon to where they think the world is so simple that they can divide everything into neat little categories such as "good vs. bad" or "if one side bad then the other good."
