[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast] Duration - 2:04 

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted a video on May 20 addressed directly to the Cuban people, claiming the blackouts have nothing to do with the U.S. oil blockade.

We took to the streets to Havana to see what people thought of his speech. Most hadn’t seen it.

“It’s just that I despise Marco Rubio so much that it’s not even worth listening to anything he says,” said Lucía Miret, 76, a retired teacher.

Most of those who saw it, rejected Rubio’s claim.

“It’s no secret to anyone that the blockade exists,” said Daimara Pérez, a doctor. “If the blockade didn’t exist then they should let the ships in.”

I really liked this guy:

"Cuba is not a military threat to anyone. The USA is. Cuba has a level of military preparedness of course, but poses no threat at all to that great power. They know that."

    That lady in the thumbnail's look is perfect. Just, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

    Narco Rubio needs to be binned with the other trash.
