Rapist USA stalks Cuba
Wellington, May 23rd, 2026.- I’m sorry if my choice of words seems inflammatory – you may even say extreme. My response is: what is not extreme about yet another war of aggression, launched by a global giant against a small, impoverished island nation? Listening to Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday signalling that a US war on Cuba is almost inevitable, sickens me.
