🇨🇺🇷🇺 Two tankers carrying Russian oil and gas are set to reach Cuba in days. The U.S. has unilaterally decided Cuba is “prohibited” from receiving the tankers. Why does the U.S. think it has a say?

A Cuban pediatrician told us yesterday, "I don't have electricity at home and have to walk to work every day but I won't kneel down to Trump. We will use every alternative to serve our patients." Trump's Fuel Blockade wants starve Cubans into submission but the mood here is one of resistance.

Two great ways to make me permanently lose interest in your political perspective: 1. Say negative things about the Iranian government during an active war propaganda campaign by the US empire. 2. Babble about "antisemitism on the left" like it's a real thing in the year 2026.

"Racist, Imperialist Vassal Denmark Now Cries Over Greenland" I stand by what I said. blackagendareport.com/racist-imperia…

Denmark prepared for a possible U.S. attack: Flew blood supplies to Greenland and planned to blow up runways Key sources in Denmark and Europe are now revealing for the first time what happened during the most critical days, when Donald Trump threatened to take Greenland “the hard way.” When Danish soldiers were rapidly deployed to Greenland in January this year, they brought explosives with them. The plan was to destroy runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to prevent American military aircraft from landing troops on the island, should the U.S. president ultimately decide to seize Greenland by force. They also transported blood supplies from Danish blood banks so wounded personnel could be treated in case of combat. This is reported by DR, which over the past year has spoken with central sources in the Danish government, top military officers, and high-ranking officials and intelligence sources in Denmark, France, and Germany. All sources have played—and continue to play—key roles in the international crisis triggered by the United States’ demand for control over Greenland. Together, the sources describe an unprecedented year marked by sleepless nights. None of them had concrete intelligence of specific American attack plans against Greenland. Still, many feared in January that the historically important ally, the United States, could attack at any moment. At the same time, Denmark reached out to its European allies, leading to closer cooperation. “With the Greenland crisis, Europe realized once and for all that we must be able to handle our own security,” said a French senior official involved in the intense period. A rapid-response force consisting of Danish, French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish soldiers was first deployed to Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq. Shortly after, a main force followed, including: -Soldiers from the Danish Dragoon Regiment in Holstebro -Elite troops from the Jaeger Corps -French alpine troops trained for cold and mountainous warfare At the same time, Danish fighter jets and a French naval vessel were sent to the North Atlantic. According to several sources, the goal of having multinational troops on the ground was to ensure that any U.S. attempt to take Greenland would require a large-scale hostile action—thereby deterring such an attempt. “We have not been in such a situation since April 1940,” said a Danish defense source, referring to the days before Denmark’s occupation during World War II. Unlike in 1940, when Denmark chose not to resist militarily, the government and defense leadership this time decided—after extensive confidential discussions—to take the opposite approach: If the U.S. attempted an attack, Danish forces would be armed and ready to fight. Danish F-35 fighter jets deployed north were also fully armed. All this despite the understanding that Denmark could not realistically withstand a U.S. military attack. “The cost for the U.S. had to be raised. The U.S. would have to carry out a hostile act to take Greenland,” said a senior Danish defense source. Source: DR

Islamic Resistance in Iraq: "We warn the terrorist al-Julani, who has seized power with zionist-American-Turkish support, exploiting the circumstances that accompanied the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, that if he allows himself even to consider providing actual, operational support to the axis of evil by directly entering the battle to fight on behalf of the zionists against Hezbollah, then the Iraqi Islamic Resistance will immediately move with its fighters and raise its banner on Mount Qasioun in a time far shorter than its heroic advance to reclaim land from the so-called zionist-American ‘ISIS’ project."

From Havana: Trump's fuel blockade is a genocidal siege. We will not look away or stay silent. The Nuestra América Convoy made up of hundreds of volunteers from 30 countries is delivering aid & stands with Cuba. No blockade, no threat, no empire will break our solidarity.

Trump says he can “take Cuba”after starving it of fuel for months. This is what economic warfare looks like: blackouts, hospitals shut downs, food rotting. And now, open threats of intervention. We’re not staying silent. On March 21, we stand with Cuba. 🇨🇺 ✊️

The US would be as reluctant to go to war as Iran was if its leaders knew they'd be killed by the other side in the opening days of any conflict. Iran has shown that it's always had the ability to bloody America's nose in a war, yet its leaders displayed remarkable restraint in their efforts to avoid it. There are probably a lot of reasons for this, but one self-evident reason is that they knew if they went to war with the US and Israel, their own necks would be on the chopping block. Khamenei, Larijani and other officials each had a personal vested interest in de-escalation. Imagine if that were the case for US and Israeli leadership? Their warmongering would stop immediately, and they'd pursue peace at every turn. This is the kind of cowardice that is driving these wars. They're not fighting for causes they'd be willing to die for, they're sending other people's sons and daughters to kill other people's sons and daughters for extremely stupid and unworthy reasons. Because they're never the ones to pay the price.

A Russian tanker carrying 730,000 barrels of oil is heading for Cuba right now, due to arrive at the end of the month. This will provide a lifeline to the Cuban people who have been suffering electricity blackouts imposed by the US. bloomberglinea.com/2026/03/18/la-…

Resistance operations resumed to win an actual ceasefire and establish real deterrence. This is also included in Iran's demands: full IOF withdrawal from Lebanon. The idea that Hezbollah "dragged Lebanon into another war" is completely bogus. The war and occupation never ended.
Quds News Network@QudsNen

Breaking | A senior Iranian official told Al Jazeera that any ceasefire agreement that does not meet Iran’s core demands will be unacceptable. He emphasized that any diplomatic solution must include reparations, an end to attacks on the resistance, and a full withdrawal from Lebanon, adding that the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened without a complete ceasefire and full adherence to Iran’s conditions.
