Trump’s re-designation of Cuba as a terrorist state is a farce.

[PJL]

In one of its last salvoes, the outgoing Trump administration has put Cuba back on the list of ‘state sponsors of terrorism’ – even as the Caribbean nation offers the entire world its help against the coronavirus pandemic.
In the last month, the Trump administration has been feverishly passing measures that are telling when it comes to its actual priorities and who it responds to. Perhaps nowhere is this clearer than in the announcement from Mike Pompeo that Cuba would once again be designated as a state sponsor of terrorism.
The outgoing secretary of state cites Cuba’s refusal to extradite Colombian guerrillas and US activists like former Black Liberation Army member, Assata Shakur, as well as its support for Venezuela’s actual government, as grounds for the move. The designation will mean further restrictions on US exports and sales, as well penalties for “persons and countries engaging in certain trade with Cuba.”....https://www.rt.com/op-ed/512380-trum...t-state-covid/

Why would they be heroes? I don't get it.


Cuba is actively working with Iran, China and Russia in supporting the illegal government of Venezuela.

Venezuela's government is 100% certified and legal.........from the OP link :"The tiny island has sent thousands of doctors and health workers to dozens of countries including Honduras, Dominica, Angola, Togo, Guinea-Bissau and South Africa. Cuban ‘white coats’ were also called in to support oil-rich nations like Oman, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, as well as to European countries like Italy and Andorra."......they also offered to send doctors to the US , but the Orange Genius refused any assistance .
