Trump: First, let's deal with Iran, and then it'll be Cuba's turn.

Cuba is next after Iran. The US will deal with Iran first, and then it will be Cuba's turn. This was the statement made by Donald Trump while answering journalists' questions on board his plane.

Trump repeated the mantra that Cuba is a "failed state" that supposedly dreams of making a deal with the United States. At the same time, the American leader admits that there will be no deal with Havana, and that the United States will then act differently. But all that is in the future; right now, Iran is on the agenda; it needs to be dealt with first.



Cuba is a failed state. Cuba also wants a deal. And I think that very soon we will either make a deal or do whatever we have to do… We are negotiating with Cuba, but first we will deal with Iran, and then with Cuba.

As previously reported, Cuban affairs in the Trump administration are overseen by State Department Secretary Marco Rubio, whose parents fled the island for the United States.

In Cuba itself, mass protests continue, sparked by power outages and a fuel crisis. While they haven't yet engulfed the entire island of freedom, the trend is negative. It's believed the US has launched another color revolution. Whether the government will hold is still unclear.

      hi Ask the red-haired Zionist and the Satan from Washington, through journalists: What's next for the Russian Federation?
      Before the showdown with Uncle Xi or after, who else is in line?
      Maybe it's time to put a bounty on the head of the red-haired swindler, just like he once did for Fidel Castro, Maduro, and Hugo Chavez?
      I am sure that there will be more than enough people willing to do this among all representatives of Islam, as well as Christians and Orthodox Christians.

      I won't answer for him.
      As usual, a special police unit pushes back one protester and beats him up as they please.
      Is it enough for you to list them all or is one of those describing the atrocities of the Jews enough?
      The idea is amazing - to describe how Iran is being tormented and to be sick, sick, sick...

    We're surrendering yet another country. Having chosen shame, we've received both shame and war. But the authorities, it seems, aren't the least bit fazed by this. "We'll surrender everything we can!" is the slogan these days. Our ancestors would turn over in their graves at this. Even Nicholas II, incompetent as he was, would probably have simply shot himself at this.

                Those who are behind the "Slavs" are doing us more harm, and they're not even trying to hide it. After the last Turkish war, a German dynasty took over Bulgaria. After they gave Turkey a good beating, for example, the Tatars somehow stopped messing with us. So here too, we need to see if they can help us beat up our masters, who have been funding the anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations since 1945.

    It will end like Venezuela - we won, leaving the Chavistas in power. The same will happen with Cuba. The US isn't feeding anyone. They'll just lift some of the sanctions. We'll continue to go to Varadero, nostalgic, "Cuba is far away, Cuba is nearby." I hope there's no civil war.

    Even V.I. Lenin, in his work “May Day of the Revolutionary Proletariat” (1913), formulated the thesis: “For the revolution, it is not enough that the lower classes do not want to live as before. It also requires that the tops could not manage and manage, as before. ”
    What has been brewing in Cuban society for a long time is beginning to come to light.

      To the apparently insufficiently known "Mayovka...", I would add: "Comrades, by the time the lower classes no longer want it, and the upper classes no longer can it, our revolutionary party must already have a theory of social humanism that has been completely revised to suit the new historical conditions! How many primary, most massive cells do we have?!"

    In fact, the Trump blockade fell on the poor Cubans.
    They have no oil, gasoline, kerosene, electricity, tourists, or food. Educational and medical facilities are shut down, and transportation is down. And the worst part is that there are no prospects. Other than the crisis worsening to the point of complete catastrophe.
    Our leader of the nation, closely tied to Trump through a deal, is not ready to provide even humanitarian aid, let alone fuel supplies.
    Cuba's leaders have already begged the Americans to stop this. The Americans responded, "Nothing. Why negotiate with us if you're about to be swept away by a hopeless mob?" Which, from their perspective, is perfectly logical. Why negotiate and make any conditions if you'll get EVERYTHING soon enough anyway?
    Like with Venezuela. Maduro knew he was screwed and screamed at Trump that he was ready to hand over the oil and any other goodies. But Trump ignored him and then kidnapped him. And now Venezuela is under his complete control. And it will be the same with Cuba.

      North Korea also doesn't have its own oil, and the climate is harsher. Many countries also have their own oil, but they still manage to survive. So that's not the problem. Perhaps the slogan "Freedom or Death" has lost its power.

        They have China, from where the Koreans get almost 100% of everything they need.
        "Many countries" can buy it, since there are no sanctions or blockades against them.

            Both. You are reading this incorrectly.
            1. Venezuela is under US control. This has already been achieved.
            2. The process of ousting Russia and China from Venezuela has only just begun (Maduro was only kidnapped in January, only 3 months have passed).

                    Okay, so I gave you a link to a recent article by the Director of Research and Development at the Institute of Energy and Finance. You weren't satisfied with that, so I gave you a link to a direct speech by the Russian Foreign Minister.
                    Neither of these things satisfied you again, you say that I am distorting everything.

          Why formally? We didn't control every inch of land in Syria before, as that was part of the SAA's mission. Some of the forces involved in the fight against ISIS were withdrawn after the main phase, and the contingent's size was maintained based on the security needs of our bases. If necessary, they were provided with air support. Our bases in Tartus and Khmeimim are functioning as before.
          During his latest visit to Moscow, the new Syrian chief of staff requested the resumption of military patrols in the southern regions of Syria in order to discourage Israel from pursuing them.

      I finally got you thinking. Not bad. And yes, the ousting of Russia and China from Venezuela and complete control (And now Venezuela is under its complete control. (c)) Formally unrelated events. But then the question arises: why is control needed if not to oust competitors? And you don't have these facts. You only have the assertion, or rather your desire, for the US to have complete control.
