SOLIDARITY WITH CUBA!

SOLIDARITY WITH CUBA!

DEFEND THE REVOLUTION!

A few hours ago, a speedboat opened fire on the Cuban coast guard in Cuban waters.

The speedboat is registered in the US state of Florida. Four of the attackers on board were eliminated by the Cuban coast guard, six others were wounded – the attack on Cuba and the revolution was repelled.

This cowardly attack did not come out of nowhere: for decades, the US has maintained a misanthropic, illegal economic blockade against Cuba and is working increasingly hard to prevent oil supplies from reaching Cuba.
