From the Financial Times a couple of days ago, so with a big FWIW...

Financial Times ‘China is not Cuba’s sugar daddy’: ties between communist nations weaken 1 day ago

Behind a paywall, but the headline says it all.

People. They’ve been ripe for a big turnover. We’ve never fanned the flames because there’s always been a democrat in the WH. This time? Most presidents would have loved to be in office when the country became free just to take credit. Too bad the Castros are gone. They won’t have to watch.

Trump as president-elect should shoot his mouth off in that direction.

If Gloria Estefan wasn’t so old and fat they could put The Sound Machine back together and put on a big celebration together like they did at the Berlin Wall.

There’s going to be a big beautiful Trump Casino in Havana.

Interesting opportunity, but the current clown-set in government would be incapable of doing anything other than extending the misery on this island.

And Bernie Sanders has praised how Castro initiated literacy programs.

I never understand all this talk about economic problems in Cuba. If communism is supposed to be such a superior system of organizing your economy and society, why would Cuba have any economic or social problems?

Dude-that’s brutal. She’s a senior citizen now with debilitating back injuries (remember the near fatal bus crash?) I’d be inclined to cut her a little more slack. Here’s hoping she can, in the very near future, celebrate a live freedom concert from Havana. We’d all celebrate that!

There are quite a few Cubans who have gone to Mexico as a way to get into the USA.

Things are pretty desperate in Cuba. A friend has three or four Cubans he corresponds with over facebook.

I had not connected the dots, but this article is consistent with what they are saying.

Yes, Cuba and Gaza. Just think of what those hell holes could be turned into with their prime real estate put to good use. Trump is the guy to do it.

The left loves its nostalgic police state. They intentionally delude themselves that economic devastation is rather some love for the simple life.

It’s fascinating how just a handful of people with power can keep their fist on the throat of an entire population for decades.

“there substantially depend on remittances from U.S. family members to survive.”
******************
So basically a large part of Cuba is depending on US charity!

Another socialist success story!🙄
