🇨🇺🇧🇷🇪🇸🇲🇽 Joint statement on the situation in Cuba by Brazil, Spain and Mexico

In light of recent developments in Cuba and the dire situation facing the Cuban people, the Governments of Brazil, Spain, and Mexico:

1. Express our deep concern over the severe humanitarian crisis facing the people of Cuba, and call for the adoption of necessary measures to alleviate this situation and avoid actions that worsen the living conditions of the population or violate international law. We commit to increasing our coordinated humanitarian response aimed at alleviating the suffering of the Cuban people.

2. We reiterate the need to respect at all times international law and the principles of territorial integrity, sovereign equality, and the peaceful settlement of disputes, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.

3. We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to human rights, democratic values, and multilateralism, and in this regard we call for a sincere and respectful dialogue in accordance with international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter. Its objective must be to find a lasting solution to the current situation and to ensure that it is the Cuban people themselves who decide their future in full freedom.

After a chaotic morning in the Strait of Hormuz, both sides have gone completely quiet.

Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again and President Trump said he won't be "blackmailed" by Iran.

As of Friday, markets were expecting the US and Iran to meet for the second time on Sunday.

As of right now, there is no meeting planned and the ceasefire ends in 3 days.

We continue to believe that both sides will ultimately work toward a deal, as this pre-deal turbulence has been observed many times in previous conflicts involving President Trump.

US stock market futures open in 24 hours and both sides know this.

All signs point to a highly eventful Sunday ahead.

Ok I can accept I'm wrong about the frozen veg, but I feel like even with the sauces you should add salt and pepper?

IDK there's no seasoning, not even salt and pepper.

And I feel like adding frozen veggies right on the heat and next to raw meat is bad somehow. I'm not a knowledgeable enough cook to justify that feeling, but I still wouldn't do it. I just feel like you should brown that beef first and use fresh veggies.

WOW a literal slop post

It's official: We are now witnessing the largest energy supply disruption in modern history.

Since the start of the Iran War on February 28th, more than 500 million ​barrels of crude and condensate have been removed form the global market.

In other words, global supply has now lost ~$50 billion ​worth of crude oil production since the Iran war began nearly 50 days ago.

This is the same amount of fuel it takes to run the world's international shipping industry for 4 months.

The world has never seen anything like this before.

always make sure the stovetop mac and cheese knows what's good for it

🇲🇽 Sheinbaum Calls for Declaration Against Military Intervention in Cuba at Barcelona Democracy Summit

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum used her speech at the IV Meeting in Defense of Democracy in Barcelona Friday to put Cuba at the center of the debate, proposing that the forum issue a formal declaration against military intervention on the island — a pointed move given recent signals from Washington, La Jornado reported.

Trump, when asked this week whether the Pentagon was preparing military action in Cuba, responded: “Well, it depends on what your definition of ‘military action’ is.”

Sheinbaum also proposed allocating 10% of global arms spending — worth hundreds of billions of dollars — toward a UN-led reforestation program, and offered Mexico as the host of next year’s summit.

In a speech rooted in Mexican history, she declared: “I am a woman of peace and I represent a people who love freedom,” invoking Mexico’s 1962 decision to oppose the U.S. blockade of Cuba when, she said, “others remained silent.”

The summit, hosted by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and moderated by former Chilean President Gabriel Boric, drew leaders from 20 countries including Brazil, Colombia, South Africa, Germany, and Ireland.
