The Cuban people have done nothing to deserve the cruelty of the United States government

Obama had started the path to solving the problem and Trump immediately closed it back up again.

Same thing with Iran, there was a solid nuclear weapons treaty that he tore to pieces and is now clamoring to get back 1/3 of the concessions that were already available in the first term 🤦‍♂️

Trump's only goal in life seemed to be trying to undo anything done by Obama in his first term. Now in his second, it is to make as many people as possible hurt.

An example of this is trump cancelling Obama's agreement with Iran to prevent nuclear weapons... leading directly to trump's war with Iran.

When Obama roasted him at that dinner we jumped to the bad timeline.

Funnily enough I was in Cuba for both of those bits of news dropping. The jubilation with Obamas move was palpable, lots of happy folk, music on every street corner, drinking, genuine excitement. I returned 3(?) years later when Trump was in charge and announced the reversal (with extra sanctions). In that couple of years of lessened sanctions and push to normalisation with Obama Cuba had changed so much for the better... Public wifi spots in near every blocks public park/square, the entirety of Havana Viejo had been completely refurbished, a massive tourist boom pouring in money, construction material piled up on every block as Cubans rebuilt and started on much needed maintanence of their homes and buildings... Even out in the countryside it was very common to see people adding rooms to their homes... It was an absolute boom in the economy. Then Trump announced the reversals. I was actually trapped in a tobacco dry house in Vinales (due to tropical storm and I got there on horseback) when the news came in. Seeing our farmer guides face was heartbreaking as he fully understood the ramifications. I was also unfortunately trapped with some Texan Trumper in the same dry house who defended the move and assured us all Trump was *looking out for Cubans* - upon hearing my accent and learning I'm from N. Ireland he also started speaking about how the Orange Men were cool good guys here... Those same orange men would've killed me 30yrs ago for being the ethnic background that I am. Their f****** confident ignorance knows no bounds.

It's what imperialists do when capitalism is rejected.  Did you know it's illegal for Americans to take the lung cancer vaccine developed in Cuba?

>Did you know it's illegal for Americans to take the lung cancer vaccine developed in Cuba? It's not FDA approved but you can join a trial and take it: [https://www.roswellpark.org/cimavax](https://www.roswellpark.org/cimavax)

It's because it's a cancer vaccine. Immunitybio developed cancer vaccines / immunotherapy with 10 years of data now. Big Pharma has worked hand in hand with FDA to block it's progression to markets because it would it would impact their $B radiation and chemotherapy market. They don't want a cure to cancer is it's bad for business.

That's a weird and unfounded conspiracy theory. We now cure Hep C all the time and it's a common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer. We also saw an HPV vaccine approved which cuts cervical cancer cases down dramatically.

Those are preventative vaccines with different cancer etiology. That's not at all what I'm talking about. Immunotherapy 2.0 is about NK cell activation and proliferation for durable immune responses, rather than classical B cell activation with antibody response. Weird and unfounded? FDA is literally a revolving door for the Pharma industry, similar to SEC. They use regulation and market access to protect their interests. There's a reason that Pharma is consistently the largest lobby group from 1998 to current.

Trump’s tough dude on steroids military not sinking that ship, when it is defying an oil embargo in the US’s backyard, is all the proof you need that Putin owns Trump.
