>The US has a long history of abuses and orchestrated false flag attacks on Cuba

To support this, you cite a proposed US operation (not a real one), a bombing carried out by cuban terrorists and a radio station?

> we only began hearing reports when Trump was in office

Then you claim that multiple governments, dozens of victims and their families, medical professionals, independent boards, contractors, etc etc have all colluded with the former trump administration to invent havana syndrome? (The exact cause for which nobody has claimed definitively)

> immediate political actions were taken against Cuban diplomats who were likely working to lift the embargo

All this so they could push back against the embargo which they could do without the cover of a massive conspiracy?

What about what you are saying isn’t innuendo or conspiracy theory?




I’m saying there’s no evidence implicating Cuba in the incidents, that they are an “attack,” or that they involved microwaves. Quite frankly, nobody knows what caused the suspected injuries.

> Then you claim that multiple governments, dozens of victims and their families, medical professionals, independent boards, contractors, etc etc have all colluded with the former trump administration to invent havana syndrome? (The exact cause for which nobody has claimed definitively)

You are putting these words in my mouth. I never suggested that anyone is colluding or conspiring about this. However, it is patently obvious that the US is making politically-motivated conclusions that Cuba is to blame, with a lack of evidence.

Also from Wikipedia:

> After the incident was made public, the Cuban Foreign Minister accused the U.S. of lying about the incident and denied Cuban involvement in the health problems experienced by diplomats or knowledge of their cause. The Cuban government offered to cooperate with the U.S. in an investigation of the incidents.


> The “microwave attack” story came out in mid-2017 when Trump was in office. Travel restrictions came back and foreign relations languished. It’s trivially easy to blame a nation state for an attack, and then use it as excuse to end political support, agreements, or funding.

> it is patently obvious that the US is making politically-motivated conclusions that Cuba is to blame

That is called innuendo friend, and right here you are asserting a conspiracy.

Especially considering that the US and Canadian governments have not officially identified causes or those responsible (though that has not stopped officials and health professionals from speculating).
