    It is not a blockade. Idiots. So if there is no blockade, it is not “amid US blockade”.

    A blockade is a specific legal thing, an act of war. Where you stop all ships using military means. The US is using legal means to make it very expensive for countries like Mexico to send oil, which is not a blockade.

    So it is not surprising that the US will not stop these Russian ships.

      Apparently it is a blockade

      The blockade, which came into effect following the US abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January, has been decried by Cuban officials as “cruel”

        The article lies, as I clearly stated above. Citing the article, without any further proof than the authority of the article itself, does not disprove that…

        If it was a blockade, then why do the Russian ships go though?

        Where is the US declaration of blockade? There isn’t one. Because there is no blockade.

          So the only thing making it not a blockage, is letting Russian oil tankers through?

          It couldn’t be that there IS a blockade, but Trump can’t say no to his boss, so Russian oil is the exception?

          Because Trump is a traitor, and this only the 1000th time he’s proven it to us.

            So the only thing making it not a blockage

            Is that the word “blockade” has an actual definition. And this isn’t it.

            is letting Russian oil tankers through?

            Any tanker from any country can pass. As long as they are willing to bear the US being mad at them.

    Now … the last time Russia had ships near Cuba, and was at odds with the US, someone far more level-headed was in the White House.

        Fuel is expensive and Ukraine needs lots of it due to a war Russia started.

        I don’t care what the tankers destination is.

        All Russian tankers should be seized and either directed to Ukraine or the profits from the sale should be taken.

            You think its strange to seize the assets of a country you are at war with?

            It seems you don’t know much about war.

              I think it’s strange that you can not see that getting Oil to Cuba to end the collective punishment caused by the US blockade is a good thing.

              You’re basically saying that the money a serial rapist donated to orphans should be seized and given to the victims. Which in theory might be valid, but in this case is just showing that you have no heart, just like the rapist.

          Agreed; Russia is a terrorist state that has committed atrocities in Ukraine, interfered in the affairs and territorial integrity of its neighbors, and denied its own citizens basic human rights.

          In this rare instance, however, its foreign policy goal of opposing U.S. foreign policy has the side benefit of disrupting one of Trump’s blatant violations of international law. Not because Russia itself cares for a second about international law, though.
