"When I read about Cuba in the American press and I am struck, every time, by the same omission. The sanctions — which affect 100% of Cubans, every hour of every day — only receive a passing mention, a subordinate clause, a brief acknowledgment quickly balanced by talk of “domestic policy failures.”This is not neutrality. It is a choice that serves power and protects the aggressor." #IllegalSanctions #Cuba #USpol #AmericanPress
