KEY POINTS

The U.S. Treasury Department has made clear that Cuba is not allowed to take delivery of Russian crude.

The warning comes at a time when two tankers carrying Russian oil and gas are thought to be on their way to Havana.

The fuel-starved Caribbean island is facing its biggest test since the collapse of the Soviet Union under a U.S. oil blockade.

    We can call it “The Bath of Pigs” after the person who started the crisis who also needs a bath.

    Oh, good, we haven’t had a ship-based Cuban crisis in a while. Surely the diplomacy will be well navigated.

    The US can pound sand. They lifted sanctions on Russian oil for India. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

            Hehe. There wont be a next time though. :D

            I’m not too keen on going through the whole dating thing. If someone arrives at my door and tells me we shall be dating now, I’ll consider it. But other than that, I’m not gonna bother at this point lol

              I see we follow the same dating strategy. It didn’t really work out for me in the last five years, but I have the feeling that will change any minute now.

              What slightly irritates me is that, yeah, for me it’s a joke, but that’s exactly how it worked out for a friend. She and some friends wanted to go to a party and a friend of the friends decided to join them and rang at her door. They are happily married now.

                Haha. I’ve completely given up.

                To be honest, it’s quite freeing. I’ve always been quite independent, to the annoyance of all my girlfriends. But no need to worry about that anymore.

      This is our hemisphere/continent. We’re as touchy about it as Russia is about Europe and parts of Asia.

        This rapist having a voice is bad for everyone, except a handful of (bad) people. He is gonna fuck everyone over, and then do it again. He is fucking over US citizens the most, but you are not important I guess…Collecting bribes and staying out of prison is. s Support the troops! /s
