[a video on Peertube about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

In an interview with Lara Trump, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Cuba a “superpower” and a threat to the United States. Lara Trump said Cuba is trying to wipe the U.S. from the face of the earth.

So how does an island struggling with blackouts, fuel shortages and a deep economic crisis pose an existential threat to the world’s most powerful country?

<Journalist Yohan Rodríguez breaks down the farcical claims by Trump and Rubio, which are used to justify current U.S. policy.

They're not even trying to keep their stories straight. On Wednesday, Cuba is a desolate wasteland caused by communism, on Thursday they're an evil communist superpower seeking world destruction. The only consistent thread here is that communism is evil and must be cleansed from the earth. The reasons don't matter.
