    My understanding is that there are people who are upset by the current hardship (sanctions + no tourism because covid + currency restructuring) and this is exacerbated by the US through media, anti-communist expats and most likely a bunch of covert shit.

    Biden's statement makes the US stance clear

    We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected to by Cuba’s authoritarian regime.

      Cubans with grievances trying to get them met by the government don't wave US flags. There is at least a mixture of Cubans focused on reforms and Cubans who are actually counterrevolutionary and trying to build propaganda for a color revolution.

      Surprised he used the word "by", rather than the more accurate "because of"

      Economic suffering was not by the "regime" but by America embargoes which are in place indirectly "because of" the "regime"
