Meanwhile, here’s a bunch of Caribbean ministers vouching for Cuba and denouncing its exclusion from the Summit of the Americas:

Saint Lucia: https://twitter.com/KawsachunNews/status/1535382276514750465

Trinidad and Tobago: https://twitter.com/KawsachunNews/status/1535377277365547008

Bahamas: https://twitter.com/KawsachunNews/status/1535314412571090945

Barbados: https://twitter.com/KawsachunNews/status/1535311775696142346

Antigua and Barbuda: https://twitter.com/KawsachunNews/status/1535304771908907019

Besides being from the Caribbean, I wonder what other characteristic do they have in common that would cause them to sympathize with Cuba?

Cuba has helped them in the past and many Caribbean people go to medical school in Cuba.

“bUt ThEy’Re oN CUba’s PaYroLL!!!”

Whenever another country defends one of the US’ official enemies, this is always the line. But when a US vassal state says the same about the US, of course that’s just sincere appreciation from a loyal ally…

It seems like Cuba’s entire foreign policy most years is “We have doctors and we’re here to help”.

Very occasionally “we have troops and we’re here to help end Apartheid”

That’s really what it is. We’ve even taken in a few after Covid wrecked us and the reactionaries lost power because of their dumbassery. The libs aren’t much better but they at least recognize Cuba as a regional power and work with them anyway.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
