Trump was right: In Venezuela's wake, protests are now breaking out even in Cuba

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.

When are protests going to start in Sacramento, California? That state is well on its way to becoming the Venezuela within the US.

The Russians and Chinese have a huge stake in Venezuela as well. If Bernie wins, he will be allied with our enemies in maintaining the current socialist government.

If it is to occur there won’t be shortage of people explaining how there is no place for moral equivalency and how it is either a good thing or not a big deal when happening in US.

The problem is rather easy to negotiate. Their legitimate interests are to be respected in case of regime change.
