I have a very bad feeling that this is all going to end up like something similar to what happened in Communist China at Tien An Men Square three decades ago.

I hope I’m wrong.

The best scenario would be a Cuban Pinochet taking over and eventually turning Cuba into a Chile ( I can dream can’t I ? ).

Working with Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Twitter, the Biden administration has vowed to help Cuban authorities crack down on these hooligan malcontents.

What would you expect from people ( Democrats) who routinely have pictures of Che and Castro in their offices.

If this can happen in Cuba, I have hope for the United States.

I hope and pray we see communism overthrown.

Many of us remember the events of 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, and communism was overthrown in country after country in eastern Europe.

And two years later, the Soviet Union was dissolved.

This is another reminder, that communism is imposed by force, and communist governments stay in power by force.

Let’s hope and pray for the Cuban people.

Here is the problem Bidone has. His regime are communists that have suppressed protesting and opinion here in the US by intimidation, fear and violating conservative protesters basic civil rights. They have painted themselves into a corner and the only way to weather the storm is to come up with the most ridiculous responses which only show their nuttiness.

The current administration is 100% behind the communists and their repression of the Cubans. biden will not lift a finger to help them in their quest for freedom, as he eliminates freedom in the USA.

“...We call for calm and condemn any violence...”

That’s more than they said during the Portland riots

"If you thought Jen Psaki was bad, get a load of this one:"

Thanks but try try to provide essential meat of an article in excerpts:

Peaceful protests are growing in #Cuba as the Cuban people exercise their right to peaceful assembly to express concern about rising COVID cases/deaths & medicine shortages. We commend the numerous efforts of the Cuban people mobilizing donations to help neighbors in need. — Julie Chung (@WHAAsstSecty) July 11, 2021

Statement by President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. on Protests in Cuba

JULY 12, 2021

STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by Cuba’s authoritarian regime. The Cuban people are bravely asserting fundamental and universal rights. Those rights, including the right of peaceful protest and the right to freely determine their own future, must be respected. The United States calls on the Cuban regime to hear their people and serve their needs at this vital moment rather than enriching themselves.

Even CNN was a little better:

High prices, food shortages fuel Cuba's biggest anti-government protests in decades July 12, 2021 / 7:21 AM / CBS/AP Havana — Thousands of Cubans marched on Havana's Malecon promenade and elsewhere on the island Sunday to protest food shortages and high prices amid the coronavirus crisis, in one of biggest anti-government demonstrations in memory. Many young people took part in the afternoon protest in the capital, which disrupted traffic until police moved in after several hours and broke up the march when a few protesters threw rocks.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel appeared on television to condemn the protests, and he called on supporters of the government to take to the streets in response.

"We're calling on all of the revolutionaries in the country, all of the communists, to come out onto the streets and to go to the places where these provocations are going to take place," Díaz-Canel said. "The combat order is given: To the streets, revolutionaries.

His words drew another [obscure] tweet from Chung in the U.S., who said the American government was "deeply concerned by 'calls to combat' in #Cuba."
