So, as you probably know America is stopping all fuel from reaching Cuba. They’ll be out in days. Tomorrow the jet fuel runs out, so no more international flights.

But the real issue is that no fuel means no diesel tractors, no distribution of food, not enough refridgeration: in a word, famine.

This is deliberate US policy. Mexico has a sent a couple of ships full of food with a military escort, but that’s irrelevant: without fuel the food will not get where it needs to go and cannot be preserved. She doesn’t have the guts to send oil, which is understandable.

America Psychopathy Continues To Stun (Cuba Edition) – Ian Welsh

Sanctions on Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, and numerous other countries intended to starve the population. US policy hasn't changed other than the enforcement of the starvation policy by interdiction of seaborne and airborne shipments. Any claim to succession by a US-backed opposition or ' free-and-fair' elections for oppositions supported by these measures has always been illegitimate.
