TACO On Cuba Embargo?

 

In the chaotic and disturbed mind of the Malignant Fascist consistency and coherence are impediments to his constant state of mental flux.   For example, after the MF removed Venezuelan dictator from power, he declared that its oil would be embargoed for Cuba, further suggesting that he might try to topple the Cuban government.  Complicating his plans recently, a large Russian oil tanker headed for Cuba to provide oil for the desperate island, as living conditions and blackouts there worsened. 

Late yesterday, in an unexpected TACO turnabout, the MF announced that he wouldn't have a problem with the Russian tanker providing the oil to Cuba, in violation of his oil "embargo."  AP reports:

“'We have a tanker out there. We don’t mind having somebody get a boatload because they need … they have to survive,' Trump told reporters as he flew back to Washington.

When asked if a New York Times report that the tanker would be allowed to reach Cuba was true, Trump said: 'I told them, if a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem whether it’s Russia or not.'

On Monday, Russia’s Transport Ministry said the oil tanker Anatoly Kolodkin arrived at the Cuban port of Matanzas carrying 'humanitarian supplies' of about 730,000 barrels of oil.

The vessel is sanctioned by the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom following the war in Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that Russia had previously discussed its oil shipment to Cuba with the United States. 'Russia сonsiders it its duty not to stand aside, but to provide the necessary assistance to our Cuban friends,' he told reporters."  (our emphasis)

Of course, all bets are off when it comes to kowtowing to the MF's role model and good friend, Russian thug and war criminal Vladimir Putin, who's also a friend of the Iranian regime and is providing satellite intel, material and upgraded Shahed drones for use against U.S. and Israeli targets. The Iranian attack on Prince Sultan airbase in Saudi Arabia destroyed a sophisticated U.S AWACs plane valued at a billion dollars, and injured many U.S. servicemembers.
