Liberal Tourism in Danger as Cuba Runs Out of Jet Fuel
Front Page ^ | 2-10-26 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 02/10/2026 6:25:07 AM PST by dynachrome

The booming Cuba tourism that brought tens of thousands of American and Canadian liberals to Cuba where, if they were sufficiently famous they could meet with Fidel Castro (now somewhat more difficult) and if they weren’t, they could enjoy juicy bloody burgers, classic cars and sex with 9-year-old girls (Communist Cuba’s child sex tourism business in notorious) is now endangered by fuel shortages.

Cuban authorities have notified international airlines that they won’t be able to refuel at the island’s airports, as the country’s energy crisis deepens following President Donald Trump’s steps to cut the island’s oil supply in a push for negotiations. Cuban leaders said they haven’t received oil since December, when a U.S. armada blocked oil shipments from Venezuela bound for the island. Trump also recently signed an executive order to impose tariffs on Cuba’s oil suppliers, in a move to pressure Mexico to stop sending oil to the island.

When U.S. forces captured Venezuela’s dictator, he was surrounded by Cuban bodyguards. Cuban intelligence masterminded the takeover of Venezuela to steal its oil. Blocking Venezuela’s regime from trafficking the oil to their bosses in Havana is like intercepting mob shipments of currency.

I’d go there but you know all the guides work for the government. I would tip them a month’s doctor salary-$25.

Reverse Cuban boat lift, I remember someone took a 1950’s Chevy pickup, strapped barrels to it for floatation and when 90 miles through shark infested waters! Maybe we can reverse the path and charge money for the exciting trip adventure!

You can fly in but you have to swim home.

It’s funny. I was just discussing with my wife the idea of visiting Cuba AFTER the communists leave power on that island. Conservative tourism which I think will be a thing.

I’ve heard Cuba has the bestest healthcare system, so medical tourism should take care of their economy.

Since marxists can not organize ‘capital’ - they only thing they have to exploit are their own people

Therefore, in trade for oil and food, they export their secret police, soldiers or indentured “doctors” to work in latin American countries. To earn tourist dollars, they sell their women and children as prostitutes.

From the movie “One, Two, Three”

C.R. MacNamara: Cigarette? Cigar?

Peripetchikoff: Here, take one of these.

C.R. Macnamara: Thanks. Hm, ‘Made in Havana’.

Peripetchikoff: We have trade agreement with Cuba. They send us cigars, we send them rockets.

C.R. Macnamara: Good thinking.

C.R. MacNamara: You know something. You guys got cheated. This is a pretty crummy cigar.

Peripetchikoff: Do not worry. We send them pretty crummy rockets.

All those poor lefty Canadians who didn’t want to come to the evil US now have to find somewhere else to signal their virtue.

sex with 9-year-old girls

What the heck is up with that? What adult looks at a 9 year old girl, with no developed "secondary sex characteristics", and thinks "hubba hubba"? There's no "there" there ...

The last time I thought 9 year old girls were pretty, I was 9 years old ...

There are always stupid tourists who go on “eco tours” where they work on a farm while paying the farm owner. What a great deal.

When I lived on Kauai there were idiots who would pay to sleep in filth and work the taro patches in Hanalei. There were a few other “eco farms” on the island too but nothing as filthy as a muddy taro patch.

Jet fuel is not the worse problem.
No electricity for the island will occur soon.
They are in a huge crisis. I read Mexico sent a relief ship.
Using oil to run your antique electric grid is not the best choice when you need oil from other countries.
The damn Castros continue to destroy
