Those Sanctioned Chickens are Coming Home to Roost in the Form of Hyper-inflation; an ill populace; crumbling infrastructure, mistreatment at the Southern border; massive personal and public debt, etc
The U.S. has had a vicious campaign of a blockade on Cuba for decades, and even made it impossible for most other countries to do business with the beautiful Island nation. It has hurt millions of Cubans over the years, but most people in the US either supported the evil policy, or didn't even think about it.
The U.S. has become a sanctions regime, not caring how many babies (and others) die because of its dedication to profiteering.
Now we literally see those Sanction Chickens coming home to roost when we go to the gas pump, or grocery store: Never mind luxuries, the average family in the U.S. is scrimping for necessities.
Is it time to start thinking about people in other countries and how you cannot allow your government to hurt others without eventually being hurt yourself?

How long have we been predicting this, Cindy? In any case, I believe our own government has already attacked us here on our own soil (9/11, etc.) but now they are attacking us in other ways, which we also warned about, via sanctions, inflation, etc. One thing I'm dead tired of, and that is the so-called economic leaders who 'didn't see this coming' when the rest of us have for years. I remember the crash of 2008, when Greenspan tried to say he didn't foresee it. Yet I did! And I'm economics-challenged. These people just shrug their shoulders right out in the open at the suffering of the average citizen (I'm looking at you, Jennifer Granholm). They laugh at us and mock us openly on network TV and people just stare slack-jawed and do nothing.
I do think people are angry but I think their anxiety and terror keep them from taking action.
And lets add to that, they began a Color Revolution here in what, 2019 or so? And they are trying their damndest to get us into a civil war and to turn on each other. That's why we're introduced to a new insane agendas all the time, or they bring up something that was settled to unsettle it.
Had a "discussion" with a friend from high school. Said, "Castro killed 100,000 people." I said, "Even IF that were true, how many have the U.S. killed w/sanctions???" His reply? "What's a sanction?"
The U.S. electorate in a nutshell.
Why do I bother??? 😂😂😂
