Pompeo should put U.S., not Cuba on Terror List

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, like his boss Trump, is not going quietly in that goodnight. With 19 days left to continue promoting U.S. perpetual war round the world, Pompeo mulls designating Cuba as a state sponsor of terror. Pipsqueak Cuba, whose 11 million souls suffer poverty and degraded health courtesy of 61 years of American political and economic sanctions, would join North Korea, Syria and Iran on Uncle Sam’s Terror List.

Cuba’s great crime warranting Pompeo’s exit valentine furthering Cuban regime change? The support Cuba gives fellow socialist neighbor Venezuela, suffering even worse U.S. economic sanctions that have killed tens of thousands there.

For all the poverty and degradation America began imposing on Cuba before most Americans were born, Cuba proudly provides all its citizens full health care, education, housing and employment; things Pompeo’s America never even considers.

While mulling this last minute move to further demonize Cuba, Pompeo may also be promoting a late administration military strike on Iran. Why? Iran didn’t cave to U.S. blowing up the Iran Nuclear Agreement designed to force Iran to crawl on all fours for U.S. sanctions relief.

Terror List for Cuba, Mr. Secretary? Look in the mirror for best candidate.
