US blocks medical aid to Cuba in show of ‘wild west brutality’

CUBA has blasted the continuing US economic blockade warning of a “violation of human rights” after a shipment of vital medical aid from China was stopped from reaching the country on Tuesday.

Washington was accused of acting with “Wild West brutality,” using the Covid-19 outbreak as an opportunity to “strangle the Cuban Revolution.”

“Cuba denounces the fact that medical supplies from Alibaba Foundation to help combat Covid-19 have not arrived in the country due to the criminal US blockade against the island nation,” President Miguel Canel-Diaz blasted.

More than two million masks, 400,000 rapid diagnostic kits and 104 ventilators have been donated by China’s Alibaba Foundation to fight the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

Again, the rabid republicans want everyone to die.

Stopping humanitarian aid for critical life saving medical supplies is something only a cruel and vicious monster would do.this has nothing to do with politics or the military, this is just Trump wanting to show how tough he is by hurting more little people who haven't harmed anyone and are powerless to strike back.

These are real people, very poor, defenseless and vulnerable people that Trump is targeting because they're brown and he can get away with it.
