Two Mexican navy ships departed for Cuba on Sunday with more than 800 tons of humanitarian aid as the island strains under growing US economic pressure.

One ship will transport more than 500 tons of staples such as beans and rice as well as personal hygiene products. The other boat was loaded with almost 300 tons of powdered milk. The ships set sail from the port of Veracruz and are expected to arrive in four days.

“Cuba and Mexico are sister nations, heirs to a long history of solidarity that we honor today,” Mexico’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The Mexican government also said there are still more than 1,500 tons of powdered milk and beans pending shipment.

1. Hope the US doesn't blow them out of the water like, well, Bibi.

2. My first thought as well. He may well do just that. He doesn't care, after all. (n/t)

5. He's more likely to have the military confiscate the ship and sell its cargo. He already has a bank account in Qatar.

6. I am aware of how ridiculous this may sound...

But, I kind of wish that these ships were given orders that they are in no way to be taken by the U.S.. Either you are able to get away, or you scuttle it. There is no way that they should allow that slime ball to get his tiny hands on that aid. If it were me, I would rather see it at the bottom of the ocean than in the hands of a traitorous asshat.
