Cuba has completely run out of diesel and fuel oil, the country's Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy has said.

This, of course, is the massive foreign interference that The Rapist swore he wasn't going to do. Blocking the fuel that a country needs to survive to force a change in its system, when it does not threaten the USA in anyway (you may argue a different political system would be better for the average Cuban, but Trump is grabbing the power to change other countries as his whim changes).

2. How is cutting off a country's energy supply not an act of war?

Why is no one talking about how we are waging war on yet another country that posed no imminent threat?

And how is this any different from when people were saying that targeting Iran's energy infrastructure would constitute a war crime, because it would essentially be an attack on its civilian population?
