America fucking LOVES pushing and pushing and pushing a countries boundaries, taking more, seeing what they can get away with, how much they can take. Then, when the soverign nation reacts, as any other country would/should “THEYRE KILLING AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!”. The flag is false but the terrorism is now justified
Hasn’t the US set the precedent that this is ok?
This was inside Cuban territorial waters, so it’s pretty much always been this way.
Also, they fired on a police boat.
I hope Cuba doesn’t release them. Cause you know they will be immediately pardoned and made rich. Their dead friends forgotten. As they will be in a month or two. It’ll be the typical press tour. Big companies with get a talk, these guys will be shown to be dumb as shit, they will migrate into FOX, then finally to own/blaze. They’ll make a few million dollars and disappear into obscurity before oding like they should’ve done two days ago!
Should have said there were definitely drugs on the boat.
Guaranteed everyone on board was zooted to the gills, thinking they could do Bay of Pigs on Impossible difficulty.
Sorry, are we not blowing up civilian boats now?
~ Cubagood. they were probably muling drugs.
Definitely in their veins.
If people want to leave Cuba, the Cuban government ought to let them go. This should be a national policy.
Cuba isn’t North Korea. Most Cubans are just too poor to leave.
And then be “illegals” in the US and get deported back to Cuba by ice after spending a year is a detention camp and all the horror that entails?
Every country should let their citizens leave and every country should welcome refugees.
Completely open borders? That’s almost like…imagine there’s no countries… 🎶
(Not making fun or disagreeing with you)
I’m for completely open borders, but accepting refugees isn’t the same as open borders.
It’s something the right have tried to conflate, but accepting refugees is the bare minimum and separate from accepting economic migrants, student, buisness visas, etc.
I do think immigration policy should basically be passing a background check, but right now I’d be happy with doing the bare minimum as defined by the UN convention on refugees: https://www.unhcr.org/about-unhcr/overview/1951-refugee-convention
In a perfect world, there would be no borders, yet here we are
several incidents of this kind have been reported, including two in 2022. In one case, a speedboat coming from the United States fired on Cuban Border Guard forces near Villa Clara, injuring a Cuban officer.
The other incident took place in Bahía Honda, in western Cuba, when a vessel also coming from the United States collided with an Interior Ministry patrol boat, causing the U.S. craft to sink and killing several of its occupants.
Authorities on the island frequently report finding abandoned or seized speedboats along the northern coast (Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Havana), commonly used to pick up potential migrants. They describe these operations as “territorial violations and human trafficking.”
No governments are fans of coyotes, FYI.
No surprise when Rubio is so set to kidnap their leaders like we just did to Maduro. Tensions and watching are going to be high.
They’re killing people to that are trying to evacuate Cubans. Most likely their family members. So that’s great…
after it failed to obey orders to stop in territorial waters and opened fire on the police vessel,
Yeah, sure. Someone trying to pick up family members opened fire on a police boat.
I was referring to this:
“Authorities on the island frequently report finding abandoned or seized speedboats along the northern coast (Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Havana), commonly used to pick up potential migrants. They describe these operations as ‘territorial violations and human trafficking.’”
Houston’s strip clubs and brothels are packed to overflowing with “Rescued Cubans”. Miami, Atlanta, and New Orleans, too.
The US cartels and the CIA have been flesh-peddling naive young people out of Cuba for decades. It is absolutely human trafficking.
Uh. Do you not see how this is incredibly contradictory. How could people move migrants from Cuba to Florida if they abandon the boats on the North shore of Cuba?!
