    This is after Russia gave intel to Iran to destroy our radar plane in Saudi Arabia yesterday….gotta love it 

  2. A more accurate title would be, “Trump to allow…because he is Putin’s bitch”

    Putin to Trump: ALLOW THIS TANKER TO REACH CUBA, PER ME OR THE TAPES GET RELEASED.

    Trump: Yes boss.

    It almost sounds like a joke, but the twist never comes. Trump is so nice to Putin.

    I mean, good, I don’t want the people of Cuba to suffer. I also don’t like the US imperialist speed run that’s been happening.

    However, it’s hilarious how clear it is that Trump is in Russia’s pocket.

    Wait. So Mexico cannot sell them oil, but Russia can? Is this a fucking joke?

    Why do you Amerìcans accept that that dude destroys your empire and activly supports Putin wherever he can?

    What more do you need to realise that you have a traitor in the White House?

    Judging by the comment section, it makes it sound like an island nation that desperately needed oil because of the US taking out their previous suppliers (Venezuela) and putting an embargo on them finally getting some oil is a bad thing.

    Guys, it’s an island nation without oil, whether or not you like its government not being allowed to buy oil is a mass humanitarian crisis, be it hospitals, food supply chains, water, etc. For the citizens of that island, thank god they are at least getting something.

    Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Mexico isn’t allowed to give Cuba Oil, but we can save Russia’s war torn economy. All the death so he can have excuses to save the collapsing Russian economy.

    Your daily reminder Trump has a picture of him and Putin standing side by side on a family picture wall in the White House

    It`s your closest island, how about just feeding and supplying it than go to war a cross the world?

  11. foolmetwiceagain on

    What is the point of this blockade? To ensure only Russian oil can be sold?

  12. GreatVeterinarian615 on

    TACO… and Russian oil on top of it he lets go. Russia doesn’t need any sanctions, he’s all but given Ukraine over to Pooty.

  13. No concessions? **Stop helping Iran, stop fighting Ukraine, stop fucking with our elections and the global order?**

    Just… here you go, a gift from Agent Krasnov

    It looks bad for us but at this point I don’t care. People shouldn’t have to suffer.

    I don’t like communism nor do I like the Cuban regime but I’m glad that maybe, hopefully, this will alleviate some of the suffering.

  15. Trump: “No oil for Cuba!”
    Putin: ** sends oil anyways **
    Trump: ** sweats profusely ** “I’ll allow it”.

  16. Let’s say, just for instance, that trump was a Russian stooge, how would he act differently than he is now.

  17. So now we are propping up the Russian war machine with their oil economy. And they slap us by providing Iran with Intel that’s going to get our soldiers killed. All because pedophiles exist. I’m starting to understand why people can get in a witch hunt mentality.

  18. On one hand, fuck Putin and his cronies. On the other, the people of Cuba deserve human rights and safety. Insofar as I’m furious at Russia for what they:re doing in Ukraine, that’s irrelevant to what the Cuban people need right now and wherever they fuel comes from, they need it.

    Literally anyone could have predicted this. It’s so obvious that Putin has serious kompromat on Trump.

  20. The Iran War is heating up … this week will be critical .. looks like the Epstein Regime will be attacking Easter Weekend

    Lol, the whole reason the US has a hate on for Cuba going back so many years was because Russia was too close.

    Instead of being the hero to Cubans, he decides to let Russia become the hero.

    This is good news however it’s just another gift to Trumps papa Putin. How about just ceasing this human rights violation of a blockade all together?

  23. LabiaMajorasMask420 on

    Putin let Trump know that he would release the child rape videos if they couldn’t sail through.

  24. Key-Commission70 on

    Someone explain to me why does the US have any authority to tell other nations who they can and can’t trade with?
