    The #Trump administration's Cuba playbook made its way into major #US media outlets this week.

    Anonymous US officials detailed intelligence operations, possible military action and the "hunt" for Cuba's next leader.

    The articles read less like journalistic scoops than messages Secretary of State #MarcoRubio wants delivered, with the reporters serving as couriers. As one anonymous official told Axios about a leak, the administration is simply “letting the regime know we’re watching.”

  10. "Cuba lost a key source of fuel after United States President Donald Trump imposed an oil blockade on the island following the US’s January 3 abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

    Venezuela had long been Cuba’s primary oil supplier, and imports from Mexico have also been halted amid increased pressure from Washington.

    Extended outages have disrupted transport, water supplies, communications and medical services. They have also left households struggling to preserve food, cook meals or sleep during the summer heat."

  16. Kretschmer droht mit Nein im Bundesrat zur Renten- und Pflegereform. Die Konfliktlinie ist aber nicht CDU gegen SPD: Woidke und Schwesig sagen in derselben Frage dasselbe.

    Streitpunkt ist die abschlagsfreie Rente nach 45 Beitragsjahren. Ostdeutsche Erwerbsbiografien sind durchgängiger, dort erreichen mehr Menschen diese 45 Jahre. Die Abschaffung trifft den Osten härter.

    Ost gegen Bund, nicht Partei gegen Partei.

  19. “Execrable Drivel: The US State Department’s Cuba Report”

    “Given the execrable contents of this untutored report, it is impossible to believe that Cuba is a country increasingly on its knees, its sovereignty and independence more threatened than ever. The ongoing oil blockade, power shortages, lethal disruptions to the health system, sanitation issues and the depleting effects of Hurricane Melissa, have made the survival of the regime shaky. The cloddish semi-literates behind the document, however, want us to forget that Cuba is impoverished. ‘Its material weakness was never the measure of its danger. Its power was always ideological, subversive, and parasitic.’ What power! What potency!”
