Cuban Priest Voices Harsh Criticism of Cuban Regime
A Cuban Roman Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of Camaguey, Alberto Reyes, said in a visit to the U.S. that Cuba is experiencing one of the hardest times in recent years. “It would seem, and it is my hope, that this is a terminal moment, because it is very difficult (…) Civil society in Cuba feels very vulnerable and defenseless . Every time the Cuban people have tried to do something –we…

Woke up thinking about Lena smoking,,,
#its such a rare habit but it does happen#mostly when shes stressed or celebrating#youd think given her less than sparkly childhood/teen years shed pick up there but it was actually the military academy where she got it#and even all these years later you can still catch her up on the roof or a balcony smoking one (1) cigarette on rare occasions#she also had one fancy cuban cigar given to her by her mentor in her pocket in the Slipstream.#he had one too and they were going to enjoy them when she got back#they never got the chance :') he died before she was found alive#attended her funeral and everything and died a few months later#( headcanon. )#ask to tag

It’s been a year since the Russians invaded Ukraine and launched the biggest conventional war in Europe since the Nazis. One of the things that I think we’ve all worried about in that time is the underlying problem of nuclear weapons.
This is a nuclear-armed power at war with hundreds of thousands of people in the middle of Europe. This is the nightmare that American foreign policy has dreaded since the beginning of the nuclear age.
And I think people have kind of put it out of their mind, how potentially dangerous this conflict is, which is understandable, but also, I think, takes us away from thinking about something that is really the most important foreign problem in the world today.
During the Cold War, we would’ve thought about that every day, but these days, people just don’t think about it, and I think they should.

In this episode, Nicolette and Jared have a great conversation about the growing protest movement in support of the Palestinian people, university ties to the military industrial complex, how the US is losing its status as a global power by lacking investment in its own people, and how according to history, the US is on the cusp of a proletariat revolution.

The Cold War phases of the Angolan, Namibian, and Mozambican Civil Wars are all unified with the term South African Border War:
One must keep in mind that in Angola, Mozambique, and Namibia the Cold War parts of the wars each fought were all in the eyes of contemporaries one war, now called as a unified term the South African Border War. These were the biggest African wars of the Cold War, fought by the Apartheid regime to strengthen white supremacy, and fought by the USSR via Cubans to weaken it. The Apartheid regime lost, and lost decisively against the Cubans at Cuito Cavanale, which was one of the first steps leading to the ultimate dismantling of Apartheid and to the slow realization that in Angola and Mozambique and Namibia that the wars that started during the Cold War did not automatically end when the Cold War did.

Is the girls' version of the Roman empire the Cuban Missile Crisis? Cause I sure think bout it every day
#i mean choosing the highly risky peaceful blockade option as opposed to full on military airstrike??#i mean not succumbing to rationalistic military pressure instead choosing to give the enemy the benefit of a doubt?#i mean choosing peace over world war 3 in spite of literal danger of self destruction?#fucking sexy i tell ya#non agression is much sexier than roman empire and their pilaging fyi#cuban missile crisis#roman empire#politics#history

Analysis of Cuba’s Current Economic Crisis
“Cuba is going through the worst crisis it has experienced in decades, with widespread shortages of food and medicines, rolling blackouts and a sky-high 400% annual inflation rate. The calls on the communist leadership to open up the economy to the market are getting loud, even from close political allies.”[1] “But deep divisions at the top of the regime regarding how much freedom to give the new…

thinking back to when i had to stop watching odaat because of how offensive and antisemitic it was. to be clear, it was the episode where they compared beloved comrade che guevara to adolf hitler.
#like#yes let's equate a cuban revolutionary who overthrew a military dictatorship with the man responsible for the holocaust#makes sense#also the blatant us military propaganda#one day at a time

Cubans march for peace in solidarity with Palestine
Thousands of Cubans of all ages marched in Havana Oct. 14 demanding an end to the genocide committed by the Zionist Government of Israel against the Palestinian people and its attacks on other nations in the Middle East.
Participants in the march, led by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and other top leaders, denounced the complicity of the United States in the Zionist military onslaught that has killed more than 42,000 people in the Gaza Strip, including many women and children, and more than 2,000 in Lebanon.

his birth name was changed when he and his family immigrated from the Cuba to the states
he's half Cuban and half Inuit
he and milo became quick friends bc both of them are Hispanic and have thick accents.(milo took colms Italian/jersey accent and even after living in the states, Casey's accent was pretty thick)
he was born deaf and went half blind in his left after his 'encounter' with Quinn the bite scars are also form Quinn, the scar on his right is from getting in a fight with an older wolf when he was 13
he is ftm! and goes by he/they, he is not opposed to wearing a dress as long as you offer food in return
he's also pansexual!(originally thought he was some form of cis and bi for the longest time until Gabe had referred to him as son)
his fav food is anything Marie/Sam cooks and while he can cook he much prefers to watch Sam
speaking of cooking he loves to cook and bake! and he's good like better than David(the best cook of the pack aside from Marie)
his dad was a military vet and Casey likes to wear the old mans dog tags in memory of him
majority of his cloths are either Gabe's old cloths, stuff Marie made him, stuff stolen from pack members closet(when they were teens), and stuff stolen from Sam's closet
was real scrawny as a teen/kid but got real muscular when he turned 18 and would later take on a strongman's build after starting to date Sam and eating half assed meals once a day (lets be real it was red bull and spite)
loves his mate oh say very much, very loyal to Sam(and pack but this ain't about them)

wanted to say this because there's a lot of ppl supporting some really weird accounts here
first of all, (gonna defend latinoamerica in general) if you are going to talk about a country other than your own, do not close the answers and have the balls to be educated by citizens of that country, it's very comfortable to write nonsense living in your country with a government you hate, but having a fridge with some food, surprise !! that's not the reality for 70% of venezuelans for 15 years.
it doesn't matter if you're white, black, lgbt, rich, poor, or whatever, if you're a stupid gringo, you're a stupid gringo. also for the love of god, spain is not latin america !!
they also never take cuba out of their mouths, as if the majority of cubans did not feel threatened by their own government every day, cubans are not interested in their country being seen as a vintage paradise for foreigners !! (and gringos should not compare them internationally with venezuela, it's not the same.)
"the US is to blame for the sanctions it imposes on venezuela"
in 2005/2013 were there sanctions?
are the sanctions to blame for the dictatorship imprisoning children aged 10/15 into the helecoide? (u can search what the helecoide is on google btw)
why do people related to the government have elon musk's cars inside the country? why they have iphones? if it were difficult to access those products, why do they have them? also 3 million $ public concerts? accounts in the vatican? how?
"USA only wants oil !!" oh, and then what do russia, china and cuba want? friends?
why do national companies collaborate financially with israel? why does israel have so much money invested in the national bank? why is israel one of the country's most important military partners? oh yes but maduro says free palestine on public tv..
why the country's national armed forces are arresting, killing and torturing people because of the "free speech"? the government is not supposed to be using that military entity against its own civilians..
why, for the first time in the history of venezuela, did they not present voting bulletins? why did they not give any official results?
do you think that 8 million venezuelans went to other countries as tourists?
"why do you write in english?" oh sorry, i didn't know that in latin america there was no language education and we can't learn other languages.
"only the rich don't like maduro" ask the people of petare what they think about that, don't you know what or how petare is? google it.
get out of your bubble of wanting to defend something that not even 80% of venezuelans want.
the chavez government did not invent public services in the country, it made them worse, stealing the money intended for them and spending it on propaganda. i studied in a public school and sometimes we only had 2 classes per week.
that's all i wanted to say, some people don't understand that other countries use the USA for their own convenience, even if you don't agree with them (as the same for russia, for example.)
los quiero mucho amiguitos latinos !! 🌷
