KEY POINTS

The U.S. Treasury Department has made clear that Cuba is not allowed to take delivery of Russian crude.

The warning comes at a time when two tankers carrying Russian oil and gas are thought to be on their way to Havana.

The fuel-starved Caribbean island is facing its biggest test since the collapse of the Soviet Union under a U.S. oil blockade.

What a cunt US. Stay in your lane!

This is our hemisphere/continent. We’re as touchy about it as Russia is about Europe and parts of Asia.

This rapist having a voice is bad for everyone, except a handful of (bad) people. He is gonna fuck everyone over, and then do it again. He is fucking over US citizens the most, but you are not important I guess…Collecting bribes and staying out of prison is. s Support the troops! /s

Somehow, I don’t think Russia cares.

The US can pound sand. They lifted sanctions on Russian oil for India. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

The US can pound sand.

Isn’t that what our military usually does in the middle east? heh

Oh, good, we haven’t had a ship-based Cuban crisis in a while. Surely the diplomacy will be well navigated.

I assume they are prohibited in the same way my ex prohibited me from getting a new partner?

SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social on 20 Mar 17:04 collapse

Well, did it work?

HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social on 20 Mar 17:07 collapse

Well, I did have a 6 year relationship after that one. But that ended also. So yes and no? I don’t know.

SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social on 20 Mar 17:11 collapse

I’d go with no. Better luck next time 💖

HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social on 20 Mar 17:13 collapse

Hehe. There wont be a next time though. :D

I’m not too keen on going through the whole dating thing. If someone arrives at my door and tells me we shall be dating now, I’ll consider it. But other than that, I’m not gonna bother at this point lol

SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social on 20 Mar 17:23 collapse

I see we follow the same dating strategy. It didn’t really work out for me in the last five years, but I have the feeling that will change any minute now.

What a slightly irritates me is that, yeah, for me it’s a joke, but that’s exactly how it worked out for a friend. She and some friends wanted to go to a party and a friend of the friends decided to join them and rang at her door. They are happily married now.

HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social on 20 Mar 17:27 collapse

Haha. I’ve completely given up.

To be honest, it’s quite freeing. I’ve always been quite independent, to the annoyance of all my girlfriends. But no need to worry about that anymore.

SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social on 20 Mar 19:40 collapse

Some what the same for me, but I miss being loved and to love someone.

HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social on 20 Mar 19:48 collapse

Yeah I mean I don’t pretend I don’t feel lonely and wanting of affection at times. But I dunno, I’m such a miserable prick anyways, no need to subject anyone to dealing with me on a daily basis :D

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca on 20 Mar 16:17 next collapse

I guess they’ll have to board and kidnap those tankers then.

We can call it “The Bath of Pigs” after the person who started the crisis who also needs a bath.

Can’t tell if refering to Che Guevera or Diaper Donnie.

Dumb question here… Under what grounds a nation can determine what other two nations can/cannot do?

The “you and what army” protocol. I guess we’ll see how that plays out
