Trump was right: In Venezuela's wake, protests are now breaking out even in Cuba
American Thinker ^ | 02/23/2019 | Monica Showalter

You don't often hear about protests in Cuba, despite the hellish conditions of that socialist dictatorship, but I suspect that's going to change, and maybe pretty fast.

Alberto de la Cruz at Babalu blog reports that protests are breaking out on the communist island dictatorship in the wake of Venezuela's popular fight for freedom:

Video from Cuba shows hundreds of Cubans marching on the streets of Havana this Saturday in protest of the communist Castro dictatorship. This rare show of massive dissent in Cuba comes on the eve of the Castro regime’s sham referendum vote to ratify a new communist constitution.

Translation: HAPPENING NOW – Hundreds of people have taken to the streets of Havana, Cuba in protest against the Castro regime.

It has the look of a chain reaction, and for that reason, Marxist Nicaragua and Bolivia need to be watched closely, too. Here is the video from a source inside Cuba who witnessed the protest of hundreds:

President Trump, in his great speech in Miami a few days ago, knew it was going to happen, stating:

“The days of socialism and communism are numbered, not only in Venezuela, but in Nicaragua and Cuba as well," Trump told a crowd gathered in Miami.

And right on cue, the dominos started tottering. It sounds like the Cubans are taking courage from Venezuelans as they seek to "take back" their democracy and are deciding that that's a great project for themselves to pursue, too.

Provided the Airhead On Crack does not self-immolate before then.

If not willingly, then perhaps by her own ‘party’...

...either works for me!

It would be ironic if Cuba and Venezuela became capitalistic while the US embraces socialism

************

Could be prophetic. We are but one economic recession away from the serious threat of socialism. Its the “opening” the socialists are looking for to make their big push to achieve their utopian agenda.

The media will run cover for her no matter how bad she stubles. She’s their heroine and they worship her.

It's too bad in a way. Cuba could have been a safety valve, a haven for Maduro and his cronies. Now he is trapped in his bunker in Caracas, unless Spain or Switzerland offer him a life raft, which I hope they would do, for the sake of the people of Venezuela.

If Cuba and Venezuela flip, the entire Western hemisphere is out of reach to the Russians, except for Nicaragua, which could well be the next domino.

And then there was one

I get the point, but it makes Trump look way too much like the butcher Che.
Better to make it similar to the one that said Viva la Reagan Revolucion.

If you ‘protest’ without permission in commie hellholes they kill you. Bernie and AOC would find that too ‘complicated’ to explain - but that’s how it works.

Death without jury or law ... at the whim of commie thugs. That’s how it works in socialists hellholes.

Trump is always right in the end. It’s one of the main reasons the left hates him so much :)

What’s important is how and whether there are any repercussions. Hundreds can be identified and rounded up by the military dictatorship. If nothing happens to them it emboldens more protests. And, if something tragic happens it could also trigger protests.

“” “” It would be ironic if Cuba and Venezuela became capitalistic while the US embraces socialism””” “

I wouldn’t count on it. The most likely situation is a horde of US advisors with deep ties to Clinton foundation and different other leftist groups would descent to loot them and establish another sort of leftist dictatorship this time labeled ‘democracy’.
It would end new found love for all things American in these places in another decade.

Exactly. Opening a dictatorship might have positive results however you must call it what it is at the same time. The Castro regime is evil and brutalized it’s people. Something that leftists refuse to do.

The reason is that Cuba didn’t do the advice that Bernie, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi, Chuckie Schumer, Maxine Waters is saying. Why not, you Socialists, go down to Cuba and tell them how to do it?
