The rest of the world can trade with Cuba but it was Orange Man sanctions and Rona Covid that toppled Cuba.

Donald and Rona are quite the tag team!

Trump’s embargo caused mass poverty and starvation in Cuba all the way back to the 1960’s when I was there.

Odd, Iran has labored under the same sanctions for 4 decades now and like there is pretty good as long as you manage to not run afoul of the Mullahs.

Oil you say? Cuba has plenty in their territorial waters.

Cuba is free to trade with the entire rest of the world.

The started as communists, then became communist BUMS surviving on Soviet handouts. When the USSR imploded, Cuba couldn’t even beg from smarter socialists anymore.

Sine it was the Chinese Communists who unleashed Covid on the world, shouldn't they bear some of the blame too, Andrea?

Does Andrea have some kind of a good reputation in the USA?

She is a shill. Why do people watch her?
Why do people report what she says?

She is a loser who is older than dirt, for Heaven’s sake.

I’ve never heard Andrea Mitchell say anything good about America, Trump, conservatives, and our way of life. And she is usually inaccurate to downright wrong in a lot of her major reporting.

Why the conservative economist Alan B?? married her will be one of the great mysteries of politics for a long time (sort of like James Carville and Mary Maitlin, Mayor “cocaine” Marion Barry and his first wife, Mary Treadwell (bitch) and third domineering wife Cora Masters (the model for a dominatrix), etc.

check out the red MAGA signs & the 15-sec video of tractor protest, which are happening in more than 50 cities in New Zealand:

16 July: Michael Smith News Australia: NZ’s MAGA - Make Ardern Go Away - NZ Farmers say F-you to Jacinda and her feel-good gestures
New Zealand farmers have had enough of their socialist gesture driven government and Prime Minister.

Nationwide protests are underway.

The media seems shocked that some people don’t love Jacinda...

Cuba hit its low point in the early ‘90s, when the Soviets and East Germans left. They were unimaginably poor. They literally had nothing, and only government shills ate well, yet the younger generation was still committed to the system. It was the older cohort that had lived through the Revolution who were cynical and guardedly disillusioned. Since then, Cuba has opened up and become relatively prosperous. The irony is that this awakening, this taste of what could be, has lead to a general disaffection with the repressive government, more than existed when Cubans were suffering from near starvation.

After 62 years of building Communism, Cuba lives should be far ahead above the USA. They should not be worried about any sanctions and instead enjoying theirs Communist Paradise, where everybody has everything!
