As the Trump administration threatens to intensify its “global campaign to crush radical left terrorism,” we look at a new 100-page report issued by the State Department last week accusing the Cuban government of waging a “sustained campaign of subversion against the United States.” The report claims Cuba has backed a number of groups in the United States, including the National Lawyers Guild, Pastors for Peace, the National Network on Cuba and the feminist antiwar organization CodePink. CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin calls the State Department’s report “an incredible piece of garbage” for attempting to link U.S. peace movements to Cuba and for “paint[ing] this picture of a tiny island nation that is trying to overthrow the United States.”
