Cuba says four shot dead on US-registered speedboat
(www.bbc.com)
This first honest boat strike lol
So there's six injured contras in a Cuban hospital, wonder what will happen with them
Since Cuba is not a barbaric stone jungle monkey like the US, it will respect their human rights, take care of their injuries, extradite them or incarcerate them. It is what any civilized nation would do.
Shouldn't have been smuggling drugs
FAFO. Hope for a speedy recovery for our comrade who was injured by the gusanos
The US should be totally fine with this since it's the same rules of engagement they've followed in Venezuela
The US didn’t contact the boats they killed, didn’t get fired on first, and kill survivors instead of providing medical aid. Yet I wonder which nautical adventure will receive more criticism in American media
rest in piss
hell yeah, just 330 million to go
Thank you, Cuba, for taking out those dangerous Amerikkkan narco-terrorists.
Bay of Pigs
Bay of Hogs
Wonder if the US will use this as further justification for something
How funny would it be if it wasn't the CIA but just a pack of brainwormed beautiful boaters
Honestly 50/50 odds
My bort's name is also Wavy.
Borts
Bare asses on the Trump Boat (because we're sinking in the waves)
they are dusting off every button in the cuba box and jamming it once to see if it'll fix something for them (it wont)
I have a feeling this may have been a false flag on part of the US.
The Cubans are the ones saying this, what do you mean by false flag 
As in the US sent pedestrians to shoot at the Cuban Coast Guard for justification.
False flag would be if the US killed those people and blamed it on Cuba. I don’t doubt that these folks were on CIA payroll though
Yeah this is just a provocation

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
