CUBANS: The people are not our enemies

What Donald Trump is doing to the Cuban people is just plain cruel, inhumane and mean-spirited. How can anyone think creating conditions that cause starvation, no water, no electricity, no transportation is OK? It is the Cuban people that he is punishing because he doesn’t like their government. 

Get over it! That is their business to solve, what harm is it doing to us? What right have you to starve a country of food, gas electricity, livelihood and the right to exist from day to day? 

This action does not make people admire our president or us for letting this happen. Let’s show a little humanity and empathy for this little country. Why aren’t we speaking out more about what he is doing to Cuba and the Cuban people? We are better than that, and what happened to us that we go along with crushing a people instead of how we used to lift them up?
