Dude, like what we've been doing to the civilian population of Cuba, you know, Ryan Grimm from Dropsite, really just excellent reporter.
He went down to Cuba and stayed down there.
His reporting, dude, I mean, you want to you want to read something that'll just get you furious, dude.
He's talking about like what we are doing to these people.
And there have been these huge blackouts going on for weeks at a time.
And because we have an embargo against Cuba, and Donald Trump really ramped that up after Obama tried to normalize relations a little bit.
the rule is right that we deny any energy going to the government but private businesses can still purchase uh oil but then rob of course we're talking about cuba here dude which is a socialist country and so every hospital is run by the government
So you're literally denying electricity to every hospital in Cuba.
And Ryan Grim is detailing how like when the power goes out, they have to rush to the NICU because they got all these babies on ventilators.
And so they got to rush in there and start like hand pumping ventilators.
Like we're killing babies in Cuba right now.
As somebody who had a baby on a ventilator once, it's just like it...
You're like, yo, this is the type of shit people deserve to be murdered over.
I mean, it's like the most evil thing you can do.
And that's just like not even news in America.
If it wasn't for heroes like Ryan Grimm and Jeremy Scahill and the guys at Dropsite there and like, so it's like, it's not even a thing.
And then, you know, it's like, by the way, this big thing of mine, which is what sparked the Adam debate or whatever, what his go-to in the debate was or what sparked Ben Shapiro and all them flipping out on me was that I referred to the US as a terrorist organization
And then Adam's going to say, oh, I'm an ostrich.
