quote:

the boaters planned to refuel in Key West before stopping about 12 miles off the Cuban coast. They said they wanted to support the thousands of people there as they endure a humanitarian crisis and demand an end to decades of one-party rule.


quote:

Boaters said they would not be entering Cuban territory in an effort to avoid escalation and potential consequences.


quote:

Officials and activists say Cubans are being detained and sentenced to jail without due process for participating in the uprising. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on state TV that trials had begun for protesters charged with crimes like inciting unrest, assault, vandalism and propagating COVID-19, infractions that could carry 20-year prison terms.



Really looking forward to that Marxism that the left is trying to impose.

We have to stop them.

Sounds like if they can make it 12 miles then they may have a ride.

If China invaded Taiwan our answer should be to invade Cuba.

No worries I'm sure D.C. will be dispatching the Coast Guard directly, to wrangle all those pesky boaters.

China wouldn’t really care though. They have some investment in Cuba, but their eyes are set elsewhere right now.

I thought to myself just the other day, Wouldn't it be awesome if the Cajun Navy liberated Cuba?

For breaking what law? They are traversing to international waters. There is nothing legal that they can do to them.

To expose our government’s hypocrisy on humanitarian migration.

You think that's going to stop them?

They have to eventually enter US waters to bring these people back. Watch them get charged with smuggling, human trafficking, aiding illegal entry of foreign nationals into the US, etc.
