Isn’t everything free there?
“Cuba depends on imports to feed its largely obsolete, oil-fired power plants. Fuel deliveries to the island have dropped significantly this year as Venezuela, Russia and Mexico, once important suppliers, have slashed their exports to Cuba.
Ally Venezuela - struggling to supply its own market - cut by half its deliveries of subsidized fuel to Cuba this year, forcing the island to search for more costly oil on the spot market.
Mexico, another frequent supplier, appeared also to have cut fuel flows to Cuba during a presidential election year.”

USA Today called this a humanitarian crisis.
The only humanitarian crisis there is is that communists run Cuba..

My brother in law does mission trips there and says it’s horribly mismanaged. Havana is full of whores and money and everywhere else is ghetto.

The Dims in the U.S: are jealous of how easily the Cuban communists deprive their citizens of a simple thing like electricity.

Watch Biden send “help” there moreso than to NC.
To: dynachrome
And as usual, the MSM blames our economic embargo, not their own officials or communism, for the crisis.

All that money that was supposed to maintain and repair their grid somehow went poof.

So what's the deal with the Cuban Army?
Are the soldiers similar to the ones in North Korea?
To: dynachrome
Send them all our pseudo-legal Haitians.
