Leftists use the embargo of 1 nation as a total, all-encompassing excuse for the woes of communist Cuba. This is lame, because the island is absolutely lush; even if every nation on earth ringed Cuba with warships keeping everything out, they should be able to feed themselves just fine. It takes a totalitarian central government to screw things up this massively, and that's just what they've done.

A few years ago there were reports of how hundreds of old buildings collapse in Havana every year from poor upkeep. I speculated that a major collapse killing dozens of Cubans could be the spark leading to widespread social unrest, then the military turning and siding with the people when ordered to fire on them. Now it looks like simple hunger may be the spark leading to the same end. Soldiers with hungry families who are forced to choose sides, won't side with the plundering elite class that has run the country into the ground.

If we just gave all the Hollywood Studios and their employee’s to Cuba, they could all move there and make it all better...

I know, I have been hearing the same bull crap for decades. Cuba’s problems are due to the United States’ embargo against them. What are they saying? A communist country can’t make it if it isn’t supported by a capitalist country? You think that Cuba would be grateful not to have to accept the filthy dollars created by capitalist exploitation of its workers.

How different it would have been if Hyman Roth had gotten his way.

There’s actually a lesson here from the earliest of ages, that the great is the enemy of the good. The only time in human history when an attempt to make a good place better ever succeeded was in 1776. Why that is, is a subject for deep thought.

The CIA wants me to believe this like they want me to believe Putin wears a diaper.

China is in a position to help if no one else if Cuba is on the skids.

The Chicoms have invested pretty deep into Venezuela no reason not to do the same in Cuber.

Given the timing of the article, something doesn't seem kosher, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. Russia may want to put some missiles there to give us some understanding about how it feels to have them on our doorstep. Sounds fair enough if they do.

"Russia has set its sights on broader economic and trade ties with Cuba.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko said on Friday that more than 100 Russian companies had started operations in Cuba over the past year, according to the state news agency TASS."

Hurt by tightened U.S. restrictions, decaying domestic production, a weak post-COVID-19 tourism industry and indifference from its allies, the island is living through its worst economic days since the collapse of the Soviet Union more than three decades ago.

The U.S loosened for the past 3 years under Biden. Russia is distracted by their proxy war with Biden, and nobody in their right mind is interested in Cuba for "tourism". Bottom line, socialism/communism destroyed the country. If it were not for Castro, Cuba would be a thriving tourist destination that would make the bahamas blush.

No doubt Mr. Biden’s regime will do all it can to prevent the collapse and preserve the communist’s power.

Cuba should declare war on Haiti and invade Haiti for their resources.
