Q: Camilo, can you talk a little more about the United States' approach to Cuba and how it fits into the broader regional strategy?
Camilo explains that Cuba is treated as a linchpin in a continental effort to extend a hardline, select-and-punish form of US influence, linking Cuba policy to broader actions against solidarity movements and political dissent, with emphasis on how this aligns with a Monroe Doctrine-driven framework.

Q: Say more about what it is. Why is it so dangerous? Why has Code Pink taken so much time and energy to deal with this?

Q: How does the broader U.S. political and military framework affect humanitarian outcomes in Gaza?
