(3,000 people are on dialysis and will probably die, 500 babies are born every day)

THIS IS AN ATROCITY:

CNN: Cuba’s electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse.

The first nationwide blackout since the US effectively CUT OFF Cuba’s oil supply.

11 million people. No power. No hospitals running on grid electricity. No refrigeration for medicine or food. No pumps for clean water.

This is not a sanction. This is not a diplomatic pressure campaign.
This is a siege.

While Trump launches a war in the Middle East and announces plans to “take Cuba” — his administration has already been quietly strangling the island for months.

Expelled Cuban doctors from the Caribbean.

Cut off the oil.

Now the lights are out for 11 million people.

Lindsey Graham said Cuba is next.

Trump said “I think I can do anything I want with it.”

They didn’t need bombs.

They turned off the lights.

Never stop connecting the dots
