[00:00:00]He took with him a statement from the president saying, "Okay, we'll engage on economic and security issues, but fundamental change in Cuba's government is required."

[00:00:09]Could it be that the CIA is arranging an exit for the communist leadership? You know, send them a plane, take them all to Moscow.

[00:00:16]The pressure is extreme. Cuba has run out of oil. The power is being turned off all over the island. In Havana, the juice is turned on for less than 2 hours a day.

[00:00:26]People are cooking with charcoal. There have been street demonstrations, and summer has arrived.

[00:00:32]There's no AC. Trouble. Here's another problem. The United States is moving to indict Raul Castro, the late Fidel's younger brother. This in connection to the 1996 shoot down of planes flying in a humanitarian aid from a US-based group, Brothers to the Rescue. Maybe Ratcliffe was working on a plea deal, who knows. The US has offered $100 million worth of aid. Cuba has not yet accepted it. Maybe Ratcliffe said, "Take it and leave." In short, Trump has a Cuba has Cuba in a vise. No oil, no power, not much food, a worthless currency, economic collapse. We don't have to invade, just offer a painless way out, peaceful regime change. Trump's foreign policy has changed the world for the better.
