The American Empire think they can do whatever they want, where ever they want, when ever they want. The rest of the world, apart from Israel, are sick and tired of their bullying.
Wut ? You forgot to add uk , Germany , Japan , s Korea & the whole eu are art of the us slaves !
The scales is almost ready to swing back.

Truth!
They just turned down a trade deal with my country, the UK, turning their noses at us. The UK, after all the times we backed the US. Also, when a US woman ran into and killed a young Scottish man she fled to the US, And the US refuses to send her back to face trial. Even though she admitted she did it and make a mistake. He faces no justice, unlike any UK citizen who would have done this, they would have faced possible jail. US citizen gets away with it.
End the US blockade of Cuba!
not a blockade.
oxford dictionary
Blockade :the action of surrounding or closing a place, especially a port, in order to stop people or goods from coming in or out

What a level of intelligence on part of the diplomat.
American diplomats should polish shoes of the Cuban intelligence and real education, not the one money can buy.
My heart ❤️ goes to Cuba and Cuban people. I am Polish, and I know what it means to be oppressed by other country's terrorist governments. ❤❤❤❤❤
Impunity is a disgusting reality of American injustice.
Cuba diplomat is more intelligence and humble compared with US politicians.
Merci beaucoup for this interview.
I've tried to contact the Medical School in Havana to offer to teach there, but I think there is a blockade of communication. Their medical system is an inspiration for me.
I am not Cuban but I Stand with Cuba and the Cuban People!
In the (True) words of Malcolm X: "Show me a Capitalist and I'll show you a Bloodsucker."
"Social murder is a term coined by Friedrich Engels in 1845 in one of his seminal works, 'The Conditions of the Working Class in England'.
“When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live - forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence - knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains.” Engels used the term social murder to describe how living and working conditions of English workers caused their premature death. Engels argued that since those responsible for these conditions - the ruling class or the bourgeoisie - were aware of the conditions that caused premature death, they were therefore committing social murder."
“You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul.” - Mahatma Gandhi

I lived in Cuba for 12 years. My molecules have converted. Cubans are valiant, brave, internationalist, humanitarian, resilient, and peaceful. I am so proud of them and of this diplomat's discourse. ❤🇨🇺
i dont believe you
@@VMan29397 😝 Now aren't you the cutest little doggie! And there I was thinking that I was!
Wow
I did not know that there could be a diplomat able to articulate concise answers to meaningful questions.
I am in a cultural shock right now....
The global South have excellent diplomats and politicians who are articulate, well educated and knows current affairs and history such as Sergey Lavrov, President Putin, Victir Orban from Hungary, Mr Jaishankar of India and many Africian and Chinese leaders and ministers as well. We are only exposed to the narrow, juvenile narratives of Western representatives.
Western diplomats can't tell the truth because they're on the wrong side of history.
Cuba sends doctors out into the world for free.
Doctors Without Borders is basically Cuba's RV.
This is kinda the problem, the assumption that members of the global south are lesser than.
Africa,Latino countries & Asian countries must recognize.we are with you not involve in politics.
You have to remember that the Caribbean is all Indigenous people L A N D, Mother Africa won't allow others to control Africa
I stand with Cuba 🇨🇺 💯. Viva Cuba 🇨🇺 ♥. Down with the blockade of Cuba 🇨🇺. God bless Cuba 🇨🇺 🙏 ♥.
What a contrast to the US American arrogance!
Excellent interview....viva Cuba 🇨🇺
By the way, why the US keeps blocking Cuba? Because US is so democratic. Give people a break
Viva Cuba 🇨🇺✊🇵🇹
Thank you. It was a great pleasure watching and listening to this interview.
a smart and informative interview.
Holy shit this guy just articulated the truth about how progress is undermined globally at the societal level.
1st world
Wishing that I could use your statement as the headline of this share!!!
Will write it down, it's so right on.
Shared on FB. Same name. Same pic.
2 smart ladies and intelligent diplomat.
Very good interview and helpful to hear from Snr de Cossio about Cuba's situation. A total contrast in US policy towards Pacific nations, as described by a staff member of the present administration in a talk to CSIS recently. Sadly our government here in uk trots faithfully behind.
Free Cuba!
If other countries stop being fearless, there is no need for Cuba to worry about not being free! People are afraid of The US controlled World Bank etc. When we become subservient to money, we get shackled!
Cuba had the audacity and ability to resist US regime change in Latin America
Great interview and good questions
Cubano de izquierda por acá, recién descubrí su canal, sigan su buen trabajo.
Free Cuba 🇨🇺 and Palestine 🇵🇸
Well done ✔️ Cuba 🇨🇺
Well done good inteligent open minded Man.
Every American ashamed their government policy.the government never stand peace
Powerful interview - thank you BreakThrough News and People's Dispatch.
Look forward to many more.
Cuba is special in that it has not crumble after 60 years of U.S. bullying. How they did that is amazing. Your mere existence is a middle finger to the U.S. is not to be tolerated.
Very astute explanation of reasons for US sanctions
Rania, you look marvellous!
Who the hell is the us to determine where europeans can travel to.
I have many fond memories of Cuba. It is amazing (insane actually) what the U.S. is doing to Cuba...just amazing.
Totally agree
Compare this intelligent, clear headed man to fumbling, bumbling, blinking ...blinken 😅
Free Palestine

Humans vs. Alien Vampires
The bloodthirsty evangelical vampires (greed) control humans (love) by doing ugly things without blimking an eye that humans can't do in their ugliest nightmares.
Then when the humans fight back...they are called terrorists.
The bloodthirsty evangelical vampires (greed) are not only organic counting machines. The counting corpses are organic projectors as well.
Very frustrating.
Be strong Cuba.
I’m not into the politics of it all, but, as an American who just returned from a visit t to Havana, let me tell you something, Havana is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve seen not to mention it’s one of the safest places you can visit. The Cuban people are very welcoming and hospitality is top notch.
Hasta siempre!
Cuban minister speaks very openly and honestly - it's always refreshing to see from any diplomat.
Why are Americans worried about Cubans when Cubans live better than US citizens?
Arrogant and jealousy.
because US taxpayers fund evil and don't care about anyone but themselves.
....and they are usually fat and stinky.
@@koschmx They could be much better than they are if there wasn't an imbargo.... Imagine much better than the US who is embargoing them? and we in the west are worried?
@@koschmx Some contries are cercomventing the blocade... Cuban medical people fan out throughout the globe in contries that are trying to get out from their own sanctions as well... Oil somehow gets in to cuba and they have a good relationship with Russia, China, Iran...
It would be better for them if they had a good relationship with the US...
@@koschmx I am not as familliar with Tiawan as perhaps you are....
I do know that China spends more money on Computer Chips than it does in Oil and it is the biggest import market in Oil since the beginning of time... The Chinese provence of Tiawan up until a couple of months ago or years ago was the producer of the most advanced chips in the world has ever known...
Do you think the US will invade China?
Viva Cuba! I was just there on vacation last week with my hard earned money supporting the Cuban people and their government!
Viva Cuba!!!
Fantastic interview thank you
Hasta Siempre Comandante !
Carlos Fernandez de Cossio doesn't mention that even though Bill Clinton endorsed the Torricelli Act during his 1992 presidential election as an electoral trick to break the GOP grip on the Cuban American vote failed to win him the state of Florida. On the other hand, JFK and LBJ framed their anti-Castro stance through foreign policy interests, not through winning Florida.
Almost all the Cuban exile militants who tried to topple Fidel Castro died long ago, and some Cuban American/Cuban exile activists who switched gears in the 1990s and began advocating non-violence and civil disobedience to call for the end of Fidel Castro's rule simply regard Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch as simply martyrs who were willing to fight for their cause.
Hasta Victoria Siempre!
Remember as he speaks, English is His second language. Talking about concise and articulate!!!!This Gentleman is in a league by himself.
I'm starting to get a crush on rania. I need to meet her before my campaign.
STAY AWAY FROM HER! GET A JOB!

These questions were very curated. It is true that US policy towards Cuba has been unnecessarily aggressive and has helped create a lot of misery within Cuba. But it is also true that US aggression is the favorite excuse to justify the shortcomings of the Cuban government and their own oppression of the Cuban people. Throwing people in prison with sentences of up to 30 years for protesting in the streets against them, for example, is a little too much. Forcing farmers to sell their crops to the government at ridiculously low prices that do not cover for cost and punishing them for selling their produce directly to market; sending medical doctors, athletes and other professionals abroad under contract with foreign governments, then taking 80 percent of their salaries and holding their families as hostages in the island so they don't "betray" them by staying abroad, etc, etc, etc, are some of the reasons so many Cubans that love their country and even recognize the righteousness of their cause, run away from Cuba. They unnecessarily make life harder for whoever tries to actually produce anything of economic value within their system. Along with that comes of course, the usual nepotism, like, the family members of the ruling class do escape all the suffering the common people deal with. Much of the pain felt in the Cuban economy is self-inflicted thanks to their mediocrity and short-sighted policies. Take, for example, the fact that us, Cubans who live abroad, are thought of and treated as enemies by the Cuban government. Is that necessary? Does that help advance their cause? Like, imagine Mexico considering Mexican-Americans as traitors. Really? None of this diminishes the fact that yes, US policy towards Cuba has been atrocious and unnecessarily adversarial and I honestly don't blame them for standing up to the US. Small countries next to great superpowers have always a lot of hard decisions to take related to their neighbors.
The centralization of output and management of cost of essentials, like food and shelter, is essential to equity. That's why you don't have anything approaching equity in the US.
Here’s a fun thought. Cuba claims to be Marxist state, and was run by those educated by Marxist thought, and advised by Soviet advisors. The same occurred in the Eastern Bloc in Europe, including the USSR itself.
Yet those economies have collapsed, and been replaced by liberal market capitalism. In most of Eastern Europe, the hard left is minuscule in terms of political power. No one is seriously advocating for that system to return. Few people call for communism and socialism’s return.
Yet somehow, people keep believing that Cuba would be wealthy, if only it were not for that darn embargo. That every other socialist economy has either collapsed or reformed is irrelevant to Breakthrough news. It’s strange, living as the child of Macedonians, to see so many fall for this idea.
Cuba isn’t even an industrial power. Sugar and tourism are their main economic drivers. At least in Europe, they could claim to have the power to build. Yet 60 years on, the state never built effective industries, never developed the infrastructure to support an economy of scale. It’s being beaten out by the Dominican Republic, who through business-friendly democratic policy have encouraged investment and local activity in the economy since the 1990s. It took until 2018, scarcely a decade ago, for Cuba to even allow citizens to own private property.
But naw, it’s just the embargo. Stupid Americans.
Just checked there is no audio to this video at all
They needcto be top of their list
Great job as usual, beautiful, socially conscious ladies.
Correct.
Oh yes
Completely agree.
❤❤❤
PLUS INTRESTS
Mr.Fernandez just few points,
1) Not sure base on what documents you are saying that US Government have told foreign citizens they are not allowed to travel to Cuba???!!!!
Even US Government is not stoping own citizens to go to Cuba.
Base on the US sanction against Cuba , the US citizens can travel to Cuba, but they are limited of spending money in Cuba.
I have traveled few times to Cuba back on year2000&2001
Actually my last trip was on year 2001, and my return ticket was day of Sept.12.2001( one day after 911 terorist attack), my flight got canceled , and I had to stay few days over to fly back to the US via Mexico DF.
When I got back I heared need to get permit to travel to Cuba, so I called several government offices related to this matter, all of them told me there is no such permit or needed.
So, I think there is no such US government restrictions for anyone traveling to Cuba,
Some countries citizens such as Iran, Syria,.... if they have been in Cuba they get questioned more, the reason is security purpose.
Mis Rana Khalek:
I am not sure if you think people of Cuba are happy with Economy and Cuban government political situation why you dont travel there and interview the people!!!!!!
Could you stop your BS.please.Thanks
Mr. Fernandez,You are saying countries with less population imigrant more than Cuba to the US or abroad!!!!!
Mr. Fernandez could Cuba government allow people to freely choose to get their Pasport and imigrant anywhere if they can afford to pay for their trips????!!!!
Please allow me to ask you another question Mr. Fernandez,
Could you please let me know why 20Years young man married to 50years old French Turist women???!!!!
I know why, because I asked him, do you know what was his answer?
He told me what kind of future I have here(in Cuba)?
I didnt have answer for him,
How about you? Do you have answer for him Mr. Fernandez???

The reason Cuba is being blockaded is because Cuban Americans consistently vote for who will be the toughest on Cuba. If you get the cuban hot you get Florida. The only way to stop the blockade would be to convince Cuban Americans that Cuba is not that bad.
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏
Wow they stole my idea with the G77. Brilliant, I can't believe I forgot about it, its a very noble institution
Beter to fitting sanction instat to be a colony dont forgot wen you been colony
When is Cuba going to save America? 🛠
Keep in mind Cuba is facing a similar level of growing inequality as it privatizes industries. When you 'forbid' people to protest then you can't lecture other people on freedom. Cuba's own leaders with their growing inequality don't help matters much. When you see what poor people live like in Cuba and what rich people live like, there is a similar contrast to the US.
That said, there is really no doubt about the history of the US foreign policy, and if people missed it, Haiti had a democratically elected president who was kidnapped by the US adn overthrown when he raised the minimum wage by a nickel.
The US has largely run the country since, and even forbids that presidents PARTY from running in elections. They literally say that no political alternative is even ALLOWED to run in elections.
And if you haven't seen what Haiti has turned into lately, go check it out.
That is the right of all sanctioned and invaded countries. Rights of refugees.
Viva cuba.thank you for the support of Palestinians cause
this is stupid USA not allowing ordinary Europeans to visit Cuba.. no wonder most of the entire world are fighting back against USA imperialism I fully support Cuba
They need someone to tell them they are the cause of this termoil
How Persian landlords and Jewish clerics propagated against Mazdak the Younger? How did US, Pakistani and Egyptian clerics propagate against Dr. Najeeb of Afghanistan?
Why the US have been so much offended when Cuba nationalised the casinos etc.?
