    America fucking LOVES pushing and pushing and pushing a countries boundaries, taking more, seeing what they can get away with, how much they can take. Then, when the soverign nation reacts, as any other country would/should “THEYRE KILLING AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!”. The flag is false but the terrorism is now justified

      This was inside Cuban territorial waters, so it’s pretty much always been this way.

      Also, they fired on a police boat.

    If people want to leave Cuba, the Cuban government ought to let them go. This should be a national policy.

    several incidents of this kind have been reported, including two in 2022. In one case, a speedboat coming from the United States fired on Cuban Border Guard forces near Villa Clara, injuring a Cuban officer.

    The other incident took place in Bahía Honda, in western Cuba, when a vessel also coming from the United States collided with an Interior Ministry patrol boat, causing the U.S. craft to sink and killing several of its occupants.

    Authorities on the island frequently report finding abandoned or seized speedboats along the northern coast (Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Havana), commonly used to pick up potential migrants. They describe these operations as “territorial violations and human trafficking.”

    No surprise when Rubio is so set to kidnap their leaders like we just did to Maduro. Tensions and watching are going to be high.

    They’re killing people to that are trying to evacuate Cubans. Most likely their family members. So that’s great…

      after it failed to obey orders to stop in territorial waters and opened fire on the police vessel,

      Yeah, sure. Someone trying to pick up family members opened fire on a police boat.

        I was referring to this:

        “Authorities on the island frequently report finding abandoned or seized speedboats along the northern coast (Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Havana), commonly used to pick up potential migrants. They describe these operations as ‘territorial violations and human trafficking.’”

          Houston’s strip clubs and brothels are packed to overflowing with “Rescued Cubans”. Miami, Atlanta, and New Orleans, too.

          The US cartels and the CIA have been flesh-peddling naive young people out of Cuba for decades. It is absolutely human trafficking.
