Have a leftest friend who said she's looked into the Cuban protest and doesn't think there is any outside involvement. Obviously a lot of signs are there but I suck at articulating ideas, if there are some good sources I could send to her it would be great.

Edit: thanks for the info, looks like she was closer to correct then I was.

    Actuality her first reaction was that the US was involved but while skeptical of mainstream news she still tends to trust it for international (non us) news so now she thinks it's entirely organic

      Oof. I don't doubt there's people in Cuba who would protest organically, it's impossible to think Langley hasn't been seeding this at the least, if not actively organizing. That aside, the media coverage has been wildly biased. Don't understand why she would trust us media for any coverage, or even western media for that matter, but hey we all have our own depropagandizing to do.

      I don't have any particularly good sources at the moment but if she's into podcasts, tell her about blowback. Season 2 does a pretty good job covering our most current history of interference in Cuba. Really showed me how fanatic the government was about taking them down.

        If there's one think Cuba is the absolute best at, it's owning CIA agents without even blinking lol

        I mean if you count increasing embargos on an already poor country, from previous embargos, during a global pandemic as "seeding" then yeah Langley jizzed this one out
