US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s address to Cuba blames their government for unimaginable hardships, ignoring US blockade impact. Offering aid through the Catholic Church, he pushes for regime change. Is this the truth or just imperialism in disguise?

       18. All warfare is based on deception.  
      
      19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;  
      when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we  
      are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far  
      away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. 
      

      Oldest trick in the book. Well, tied for oldest I guess.

    “Those who control your country have plundered billions of dollars, but nothing has been used to help the people.”

    Rubio said this, right on the tail of Trump’s 2 billion dollar taxpayer money heist for himself and his crime syndicate.

    We are far, far too civilized with how we treat these people.

    Senator Rubio was overheard telling Cuba, in a mocking voice, “Stop hitting youself! Stop hitting yourself! Why are you hitting yourself?”
