The Spin

Pro-Cuba

The U.S. indictment of Raúl Castro — timed theatrically to coincide with Cuba's independence day — was nakedly political. America has spent decades engineering Cuban misery through sanctions, covert sabotage and immigration manipulation, yet now performs outrage. A multipolar world that cannot muster the will to send fuel to a besieged island is a moral and strategic farce.

Anti-Cuba

Cuba's regime has spent 67 years looting its own people while hosting Chinese and Russian intelligence operations just miles from U.S. military commands. Sanctions exist for a clear reason — free political prisoners, allow a free press and hold fair elections, and they lift. Keeping maximum economic and military pressure on Havana is the only strategy that has any real chance of delivering freedom to Cubans.
