00:00In Cuba, doctors manually operate artificial respirators to keep premature babies alive.
00:06If they've reached this point, it's because in hospitals, the machines are malfunctioning due to power cuts.
00:10'electricity.
00:10Because while all the media are focused on Iran, the United States is attacking Cuba.
00:15In fact, Trump virtually deprived Cuba of oil by kidnapping Maduro, who was the island's main supplier.
00:21And without oil, Cuba loses a huge part of its electricity production, plunging the island into one of the
00:25the most serious humanitarian crises it has ever experienced.
00:27We're talking about mountains of garbage piling up in the streets, a shortage of drinking water due to a lack of
00:31to be able to pump it,
00:32and a food shortage due to malfunctioning refrigerators.
00:34Except that Trump didn't invent anything. He simply worsened the blockade that was already restricting trade with the
00:39'island since 1962.
00:40And this blockade is a war crime, since the United States is starving and starving civilians first, without
00:46distinction between children and combatants.
00:48And indeed, the first victims of a blockade are always the most vulnerable.
00:51like premature babies who need electricity for their artificial respirator.
00:55Here are the concrete consequences of a decision made in an office in Washington.
00:59Because every year in the world, economic sanctions like those against Cuba are responsible for 560,000 deaths.
01:04Just think, that's the same number of deaths as in wars. It's colossal.
01:08All of this reminds us to be wary of US propaganda.
01:11The United States never goes to war for the good of the people.
01:14Otherwise, they would avoid putting civilians, including babies, in massive danger.
01:18So you may have strong criticisms of the Cuban government.
01:20But nothing justifies punishing an entire population with a blockade.
01:24Contrary to some of the talk we hear in the media or on social networks.
