NEU delgation to Cuba [Author supplied]

THE US is waging a war in the Caribbean — one that targets the old, the infirm, and children. It’s a grinding war of attrition aimed at forcing the surrender of a proud people who have dared to defy an empire.

This siege warfare has continued for decades through the illegal blockade of Cuba, attempting to snuff out the last light of socialism in the Western hemisphere.

US designs on Cuba stretch back nearly 200 years, from attempting to buy the island from Spain in 1848 to supporting the Batista dictatorship in the mid-20th century.
