[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

For years, the Cuban government has expressed a willingness to engage in dialogue with the United States. But Trump and Biden rejected dialogue and instead embraced a Cold-War era policy of hostility.

Cuba’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed on Friday that Cuban and U.S. officials were engaged in talks.

Belly of the Beast went to the streets of Havana to ask Cubans what they think about the recently announced discussions between the governments of Cuba and the United States.

One message stands out: dialogue is a good thing.

Whenever the current admin is "in talks" with another state, they're about to bomb them.

Thanks, that helped me finding it.

I've never used it, but there already are bets about this:

Looks like you first have to transfer betting money or crypto, but I don't have crypto and banks are closed today over here. (I can transfer, but it would be delayed 'til tomorrow anyways.) I'll have a closer look tomorrow, but maybe the odds aren't good then.

Unfortunately, after registering and accepting the ToS, it shows a list of countries not allowed to actually use it and mine is on the list ☹️ Not gonna try to trick them.

It's a shame, because I just saw this video of trump talking about taking Cuba: https://imgur.com/gallery/vI1D7CV Seems legit, but not 100% sure.

WW3 here we come 💀
