This is the American empire softening up Cuba for an invasion. Since they've managed to kick all foreign investment out of Cuba, Trump and his cronies have been busy divvying up Cuba's resources for the billionaires to suck the remaining wealth from Cuba.

The Cuban people will suffer from an American occupation even more than they've suffered from decades of American sanctions.

Authorities said they ​had intercepted the fuel shipments in Houston and at Port Everglades, in south Florida, before they departed the US. More than 600,000 gallons of fuel were seized, Homeland Security said.

Why does fuel shipments bound for Cuba has to dock in the United States?

in the 70's before memes we just had Cheech and Chong quotes like this one that just popped into my head

I got a buddy that works at United Fruit. Get ya started. Pickin strawberries. Start with strawberries then maybe work yer way up to these goddamn bananas! When boy...when are you going to get yer act together? (burp) I think he's the antichrist.

Half a century later still the same shit, different company names. one of their subsidiaries will probably move into Cuba.

I think we're parked man.
