The Ongoing Cuban Tragedy

It is beyond shameless to see American Socialists celebrating Cuba's oppressive regime by staying in lighted and climate-controlled five-star hotels, enjoying champagne and lobster, while Cuban citizens rummage through garbage for their next meal. In darkness and in many cases, homeless.

The “Nuestra America Convoy” sent socialists from America to Cuba by air, sea, and land, under the guise of handing out twenty tons of humanitarian aid to protest the United States oil blockade on Cuba.

The convoy includes Mayor Zohran Mamdani ally and influential streamer Hasan Piker, who recently went on a Beijing-sponsored propaganda trip, to Havana, from where he broadcast to his 1.6 million Instagram followers Saturday with a somehow spotless internet connection and promised to film “content.”

In addition, Isra Hirsi, the 23-year-old unemployed activist daughter of embattled “Squad” Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), is also taking part in the voyage, as is a delegation of Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America comrades.

The convoy also includes groups identified by the US State Department as vectors of Chinese Influence, like The People's Forum, and Jodie Evans' group, Code Pink. Evans was all smiles as she posed for a picture, wearing a pink keffiyeh.

Yet, nothing has been done to benefit the Cuban population. It is all a photo op for the regime, in order to guilt Americans to protest American policies, which have essentially been in place since 1959.

But, with all the aid the Communist Cuban regime has received from other countries over the decades, nothing has been trickled down to the people. Instead, the Castros and their friends have become wealthy, while the people continue to suffer.

Now, since Venezuela has been removed from Cuban influence, life has become worse. Initially, an "embargo" was placed on goods to be delivered to the communist island.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order threatening additional tariffs on goods from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba. This policy aims to pressure Cuba by restricting its energy supply, specifically targeting nations like Mexico and Russia that have supplied oil to the island. This action has caused significant concern for oil suppliers and has impacted international relations regarding oil shipments to Cuba.

No one wants to pay higher tariffs, so countries are complying. This is putting a squeeze on the Cuban regime, which has forced it to negotiate with the Trump Administration.

This action caused Cuba announced on March 12, 2026, that it would release fifty-one prisoners as a "goodwill" gesture giving credit to the Vatican, though it was not immediately confirmed if all were political prisoners. It is a start, which later caused Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel to confirm that Cuba is in preliminary negotiations with the Trump Administration.

Ultimately, the communists can always find useful idiots, or just collaborators, from Western countries willing to play tourist and absorb the amenities in exchange for political support.

And the people still unmercifully suffer in misery.
