Protesters from all over the U.S. met at the White House on Sunday night to urge the Biden administration not to back anti-government protestors in Cuba.
The Biden administration announced support for the protestors and also imposed sanctions. The Miami Herald reported that even the protesters had different expectations of what the word “more” actually meant. Some even suggested a military intervention.

“We went into Kuwait, Somalia and didn’t ask for anyone’s permission,” Maria Fundora, the head of a Texas-based group called Cuba Libre, told the paper. “We went in and killed Usama Bin Laden and didn’t ask anyone. Are you telling me someone from Cuba needs to do something as horrible as 9/11 to get the U.S. to do something?”
One of the more realistic options seems to be the U.S.’s ability to work around internet blackouts in the country so residents can better inform the world about the realities on the island.
