[Diana in Wisconsin]

"Cuban officials have previously blamed US economic sanctions, which increased under the previous administration of President Donald Trump, for further crippling an already ailing energy sector."

FAFO, Commies. ;)

[where's_the_Outrage?]

They’re living in darkness 24/7.

Let me guess. Gitmo never lost power.

I think you’re right about that.

as people used electric torches to navigate the streets.

there is an historical reason for fire torches..............

[FlingWingFlyer]

The Canadians probably turned their electricity off.

Cuba needs an Augusto Pinochet pronto.

Enviro-kooks are overjoyed — NO CO2 emissions coming from Cuba. Viva la CO2!

[dennisw]

lolzzzzzz... Cuba is as well lit as NorksLand. If anyone has that satellite or U2 photo of nighttime North Korea and nighttime South Korea. They must still be using kerosene lamps in North Korea.
Stalin — Communism is socialism plus electricity.

The quote “Communism is socialism plus electricity” is actually a misattribution to Stalin. The correct quote, attributed to Vladimir Lenin, is “Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country”. This statement was made by Lenin in 1920 when presenting the GOELRO plan, which was the first Soviet initiative for national economic recovery and development.

Hyman Roth would never have let this happen.

I’m only half-joking. Having the Mafia run Cuba through a dictator looks bad, until you get to see the alternative. We’re learning that lesson again the hard way in Syria.

What did Communists use for sources of light before candles?

Answer: Electricity.

[VeniVidiVici]

This is what happens when Democrats control essential services.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Let me guess.. not enough communism?

[Dilbert San Diego]

I never understand talk of how US economic sanctions hurt Cuba.

If communism is such a superior system of organizing your economy and society, why does a communist regime such as Cuba, need trade and relations with an “evil” capitalist country such as the US?

Or do the communist leaders of Cuba not really believe in communism as a superior system?

I’m clearly missing something.

[hal ogen]

Who cares??? They are responsible for their pathetic country.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

America does not trade with Cuba so that the rest of the world has some decent cigars to buy.

If ”The Great Satan” traded with Cuba, there would be nothing left for anyone else.

[SMARTY]

Right...and it's supposed to be some kind of Communist Nirvana

[albie]

Or as the Cubans call it “Saturday”

[aquila48]

Great rebuttal.

[9YearLurker]

Let’s hope it’s not just a test case.
