End the embargo. Let cuba live !

Sanctions should end!

End the embargo.

The US creates unlivable conditions in other countries and exacerbates the immigration pressures. Support Cuba's economy so their citizens can live in Cuba.

End the embargo, free Cuba!

After Katrina, Cuba was one of the first countries to offer help to the US. *1,500 doctors and 26 tons of medical supplies* were rejected by Bush. Most Americans want to end the embargo, but unfortunately, we don't have any say in what the US govt does anymore. End the embargo. Solidarité 🇨🇺✊

Us should be sanctioning Isreal, not Cuba. I miss the days when we started normalizing relations with Cuba. The cultural exchanges was so fruitful.

I like this gentleman and always despised that cruelty that keeps this unjust embargo on a country that is very beautiful with many kind and thoughtful people, just trying to take care of themselves and their families! Where in the Hell is the "crime" in that?

Cuba produces great doctors!

My son and daughter-in-law were recently traveling in Cuba when she suffered a miscarriage. She ended up the hospital for five days while her infection was being treated.. (fortunately they had purchased medical insurance before they came). The medical system there (apparently free for citizens?) was excellent. The staff were wonderful, and the hospital even provided my son with a bed during her stay. It would have been a totally different experience if it had happened in in the US, or even in Canada.

End embargos End the wars End all occupations End apartheid Equal rights for all The one percent should share the Earth

I love visiting Cuba!🇨🇦. End the Embargo!🇨🇺

Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Deborah. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.

Cuba is Americas Gaza .

US policy is so unfair towards Cuba. They have a right to self-determination. Mind your business. Leave Cuba alone!

For some reason Democracy Now no longer covers Venezuela and Nicaragua, which are subject to similar sanctions as Cuba.

It’s time to build a bridge of cooperation and understanding between both nations. We must move to the next chapter for the benefit of both countries. There’s a better world out there, and we must fight for it. 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇺

My goodness, I had no idea here in Ireland. Sounds like there's a lot of work to be done, the day before yesterday.

That was a beautiful and inspiring speech by Naomi Klei! An "Exodus from Zionism"! Loved it!!

Thank you Democracy Now for this interview with Carlos Fernandez de Cossio. I love the spirit of Cuba, and would love to visit.

Does Cubo even have an embassy in the US? I would like to visit Cuba.

My planned 10 day trip to Cuba was spoiled by Trump, my trip was just a few weeks away when it happened. I have wanted to visit Cuba since age eleven which was over 60 years ago.

US vote on UN is also isolated in reference to colonial Puerto Rico.. We are also suffering a gentrification in the whole archipelago thanks to the corruption of US and Puerto Rico's govt..

The "winking blinkin nod" administration "bad mouths" someone one day, and the next wants a warm reception.

Cubans need some Buena Fortuna Farm from Mexico inspiration! Cuba looks really cool! I love the old cars, the recipes, the beach…. I bet a Latinos invented Musical Chairs. Play music 🎶 and they just start dancing- in fact, watch John leguizamo… he just starts dancing for no reason at all anytime 😂 it’s my favorite thing about him!

The U.S. government is a terrifying place.

time for these sanctions to be lifted . the have out live their usefulness

Which country is a dictatorship???

This foreign minister is actually pretty good. His answers are on point and his democratic posture is, real or not, evident.

the world really tireed of usa emperialism... i swear the usa is the real treath to humanity and earth...

Great interview!!!

Is nowadays USA even able to do anything positive for the world?

Let the Haitians in

Awesome reporting 🔥🔥🔥

Mantain the line...we all paid the price for injustice.....Wonderful interview and guest!

End these sanctions, and let the peace-loving Cuban people live a decent life. Cuban people have suffered for so long with the US Government putting an embargo since 1959.

The Cuban Deputy Minister is a qualified, knowledgeable, caring representative of Cubans. What a diplomat he is and how terribly the Cubans suffer at the hands of the US gov't. - not the good American people on the ground - but the government. Awful.

He is correct enough is enough from the us bullying

Fear not Cuba, the U.S. and it's handler In the Levant cannot stand long. Their duplicity has been revealed.

This Cuban embargo is a despicable anachronism.

any sanction or embargo does NOT hurt a sanctioned government but a regular people. so, the greatest puzzle to me - why do we like hurting regular people?

Why is United States chocking Cuba? When I vacationed , there were many American tourists. Beautiful Cuban people in hospitality, beaches and tourism. Maybe if you weaken a country it’s a better option to take over. But obviously food seems to be the most important weapon today and the most valuable thing to keep society in check and or go against it.

To understand the support Israel recieves from US, one has only to look at Cuba, and lately Puerto Rico and Haiti, and surmise the motives we may have to cause such suffering that people are forced to leave their land open for invasion to survive!! Que VIVA CUBA!!! Que VIVA PALESTINIA!!!

Brilliant

Omg the 🇺🇸won’t leave Cuba alone 😢

This would be a master stroke, ending the embargo. Cuba to prosper, humans dont care for virtues, they want to consume. Cuba and central america.

End the Embargo!

We see them. We see them. There is absolutely no good reason for it.

The embargo doesnt make sense in 2024. End it

The "embargo" on Cuba is so efficient that Cubans even export their cigars to Montenegro

They have no SHAME 😅😅😅 THEY CAN ONLY DESTROY.

Sanctions always punish ordinary people.

It’s true, the U.S. does this with their Puerto Rico colony. Ensure poverty remains in order to force natives to migrate to the U.S. as a cheap source of labor.

Same as Haiti.

15:16 Born in Birán, the son of a wealthy Spanish farmer, Castro adopted leftist and anti-imperialist ideas while studying law at the University of Havana. After participating in rebellions against right-wing governments in the Dominican Republic and Colombia, he planned the overthrow of Cuban president Fulgencio Batista, launching a failed attack on the Moncada Barracks in 1953. After a year's imprisonment, Castro travelled to Mexico where he formed a revolutionary group, the 26th of July Movement, with his brother Raúl Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Returning to Cuba, Castro took a key role in the Cuban Revolution by leading the Movement in a guerrilla war against Batista's forces from the Sierra Maestra. After Batista's overthrow in 1959, Castro assumed military and political power as Cuba's prime minister. The United States came to oppose Castro's government and unsuccessfully attempted to remove him by assassination, economic embargo, and counter-revolution, including the Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961. Countering these threats, Castro aligned with the Soviet Union and allowed the Soviets to place nuclear weapons in Cuba, resulting in the Cuban Missile Crisis-a defining incident of the Cold War-in 1962. Adopting a Marxist-Leninist model of development, Castro converted Cuba into a one-party, socialist state under Communist Party rule, the first in the Western Hemisphere. Policies introducing central economic planning and expanding healthcare and education were accompanied by state control of the press and the suppression of internal dissent. Abroad, Castro supported anti-imperialist revolutionary groups, backing the establishment of Marxist governments in Chile, Nicaragua, and Grenada, as well as sending troops to aid allies in the Yom Kippur, Ogaden, and Angolan Civil War. These actions, coupled with Castro's leadership of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1979 to 1983 and Cuban medical internationalism, increased Cuba's profile on the world stage. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Castro led Cuba through the economic downturn of the "Special Period", embracing environmentalist and anti-globalization ideas. In the 2000s, Castro forged alliances in the Latin American "pink tide"-namely with Hugo Chávez's Venezuela-and formed the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas. In 2006, Castro transferred his responsibilities to Vice President Raúl Castro, who was elected to the presidency by the National Assembly in 2008. The longest-serving non-royal head of state in the 20th and 21st centuries, Castro polarized world opinion. His supporters view him as a champion of socialism and anti-imperialism whose revolutionary government advanced economic and social justice while securing Cuba's independence from American hegemony. His critics view him as a dictator whose administration oversaw human rights abuses, the exodus of many Cubans, and the impoverishment of the country's economy. I think those nukes are leaking and fucking up the ocean and killing coral, the phosphorescence of the plankton and why the whales are pissed off enough to attack boats.

take usa to court

So interesting learning about Cuba, ty!

Thanks

That's why the sanctions were imposed in the first place.

You cannot compare the reason for the exodus of Puerto Ricans to the US versus Cuba's. Puerto Rico is a US territory and therefore enjoys benefits that Cuba does not. Cuba is a communist country thanks to the Castros. Both have economic reasons for migrating, but you cannot compare the two Mr. Foreign Minister.

Sorry, it's Russian microwaves weapon

and cnn enjoying it! so stop the hypocray!

DUH!!!

CUBA Too?A neighbour???😢

0:04 0:05

I think America needs to leave Cuba alone, because Communists can destroy their own country without our help.

Havana syndrome was thoroughly debunked, there's a few decent videos on here on the subject!

… just making sure if we see something we’re still supposed to say something! “Been that way for 30 years.” - U.S. Justice Department on the lack of Human Rights in Oklahoma County Jail, 2020 “Makes me feel human again after this place.” - Oklahoma City Art Museum review after life in the local shelters (20+ years in the making), 2024 “It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.” - Nelson Mandela 🥂🥂

Who is interviewer ? Do your homework - there is no blocase - Vessel Traffic - se all super tanqueta going into and leaving Havana. Search - World Bank and see exports and imports.

the USA makes so many small countrys to suffer..its good that china and russia india can stand up to the usa

Y con las protestas del Pueblo cubano tambien estan presente 😂😂😂 Q hipocrecia del gobierno cubano y los cubanos no necesitan q lo empujen a protestar, ustedes hacen un trabajo excellente en eso matando de necesidad el Pueblo cubano

if you believe that your life is good , think about what you are saying . I dont like that others are treated badly , but you know the real truth

Amy you cant be in the show!

They're trying to get away from you and your ilk, pal.

*Thank you Angela Christine Derle for $60,000👍🏻. So many opportunity to make money here on KZfaq but most people don’t know. Thank you for continuing updates I'm favoured, $60,000 every two weeks ! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America*

Democracy now has been my first priority since 25 years, believe it or not.

존 메이어와 초원 위 드라이브

Reading a great book from Canton to Havana. A grand book on the chinese migration to Havana, the grand community, of over 250,000 that has been annihilated.

Dear US Government, I am from Russia, from the Republic of Ingushetia, our people have been subjected to genocide since time immemorial, Russia never listened to us, but other regions listened and gave and are still giving them our lands, we don’t have lands left anyway, and those occupied are not for us they return, I understand that this is a policy of divide and conquer. please give me the opportunity to leave Russia for me and my family, I will be useful for America, I can become a farmer and be useful. Communism is evil; it doesn’t bother me; I’m under constant stress in Russia?!?!?

Join US. 😉

Stop talking about PR, for years has been attempting to export communism to PR.

❤❤❤❤❤

😂😂 moren than a million Angolans had to free Angola when Cuba invaded and sustained a 20- year war.

Which is it are they trying to help Cuba or not? Mr. Deputy Foreign Minister you are contradicting yourself. You say that the US and Israel are against lifting the sanctions, then you say Biden and Trump is good for Cuba, Which is it?

Cuba was a client state of the USSR and was completely economically dependent until the dissolution of the Soviet Union. There is no real economy in Cuba at present. They combine tourism and money from Cubans living outside the country in direct monetary aid to family members still living in Cuba. Foreign goods still get in to Cuba: I have seen with my own eyes Coke, Johnny Walker, Gerber, and other US products in dollars-only stores on the island. The embargo just requires cash-up-front and no purchases on credit. US President Bill Clinton negotiated this in exchange for the repatriation to Cuba of Elian Gonzalez. The embargo started when Cuba tried to unite Latin America in refusing to repay each country’s debts to the US.

Tje Cubans are good people there government is commy cuba needs to pay back all the money that they took from all the American businesses so that will never happen so starve who cares change your government revolt

This is stupid. Cuba need to thank Castro. He did this to cuba. So Thank Castro. Stop blaming America for your misfortune and lawlesness. That's cubas fault. I do agree they should drop all the embargo bs. But Castro made trouble for Cuba when they started dealing with the Russians. Remember the Cuban missile crises. There are lagit reasons for the embargos. On che ill say one man freedom fighter is another Mans criminal. Do some research on the man and tell yourself what he was.

Amy- et al! you let this man lie about the "blackouts "and what the.underlying issues are in Cuba. Although I am glad he is in solidarity with Palistine, it is a contradiction. The authoritarian regime in cuba is SLOWLY killing its citizens by the thousands. I am a multidisciplinary artist, Columbia alum, teaching visual arts. now a days. I have sent you countless emails, Amy. What. happened in cuba was an idealized Utopian, which never really took off because. of human nature: greed, power, money. Just because Angela Davis, whom. I adore, moved there, it doesn't make it a good place. A good system of. government. so, yes, the constraints. of the embargo. fact. but it is also a fact. that cuba stopped producing internally years ago. It used to, even though there were/are constraints on trade. The question is why isn't the coutry producing for itself? Why are there so many political prisoners, without a trial? Why didn't you asking about July 11th, 2021 protests, and how many people where arrested and are in prison without a trial? THE DIRE situation in cuba is that the regime is an authoritarian, militarized,, fascist state, controlled by one or 2 families. It is not a functioning democracy. (read that again, Democracy Now). You always lean more toward cuba being a functional state. You never have guests on here. that present. lived experiences, objective reporting, with factual evidence, or (thousands) of cubans living under a. phenomenon, a kind of loop, where the lack of EVERYTHING compels you to leave, specially now, with internet, and then if you do survive the journey, for some reason, specially if you make a raft and take to the seas thinking it is. a straight line, then you. can survive here. in the US. Otherwise, you die, like. thousands of cubans, who risked their lives to get to have a better life. A good life. AMY- you never speak about the human. rights violations in cuba. He also lied about the Che. Che - no matter what- was a criminal. I think it is pathetic how some people worship him in the USA. It's the same illusion of the "American dream." Fidel was and will always be a profound human failure. Talking. about displacing people. I would debate that with any. one. You never really present independent artists from Cuba or in exile, Some of the artists, journalists, film makers, who are under constant attack by the Cuban regime, some of. whom are in jail for asking free expression, democracy, and a free society, where the.ideals of the. so called revolution, are actualized and the system becomes a functioning democracy. not a fixed one. I respect you Amy, but when it comes to my country and other cuban intellectuals, artists, and musicians from cuba, you are. not very informed. or don't want to be. not sure. you are an intellectual, academic, journalist, as such, I admire you. I get. your "support. Democracy Now" emails $ asking, but why should I. give money if you have ignored. my emails. See, two things can exist. I can love your show and not give you money. I. love. the show, but please present. accurate. info, or challenge your guests when they lie or mislead you. OR have some of us in the Cuban diaspora come. and. talk about why we are the Diaspora,(to echo Naomi Klein's idea/ argument in her latest activist speech in. defense of Palestine)

Spread this around she is trying to get there from USA..

7:23 trade Bezos and Musk for pretty much anything you can imagine 😂. You guys have the best cigars and and sweet brown liquor 🥃 💃🏽🕺🏼

😂😂 use google maps and see the mansions on Havana Bsybfir government folks. Check the luxury cars driven by the Castro family. 😂😂😂

I wonder if Cuba will ever have true freedom

Free World, free Europe, free Palestine, if Yankee goes home

Che visited Gaza! I didn't know.😅

Cuba should join Brics!

CIA OMG!!!!!

This makes me want to visit Cuba!🇨🇺
