Cuba’s government has spent the last days attempting to get the island’s national grid functioning after repeated island-wide blackouts. Without power, sleep becomes difficult in the heat, food spoils and the water supply fails.
Parts of Cuba’s communist system still function: the municipality sent Maria food. “We are three families here,” she said. “I live alone, the lady who lives next to me [does] also, and there are two children, the children’s mother, her aunt and an elderly man.”
A week after the blackout, the island has returned to the status quo ante with regular power cuts of up to 20 hours a day. But the crisis has left a deep, melancholy dread about the future.
Brace yourself for waves of future Miami republican voters arriving from Cuba
Well, we can blame both of our right-wing parties for contributing to the situation by enforcing the longest running embargo. The first break from this was during the Obama administration, but it was too little too late, and we immediately returned to the previous status quo.
It’s not just an embargo, it’s a criminal blockade that every UN country except the US, Israel and Ukraine has agreed should end.
You’d think Ukraine would have some charity towards another oppressed state. I guess money speaks louder.
Survival speaks louder. Ukraine doesn’t exist without the US.

Touch some grass, smoothbrain.
The US, Israel and Ukraine can get fucked. Other countries should ignore their bull shit bullying and help Cuba. The US and Israel and international bullies and have gotten thousands killed.

Actually I’m just aware of history. And I wasn’t even talking about Russia, you illiterate boob. Pick up a book. It’s not difficult. The US has done a great job meddling in many, many countries over the last 80 years - common knowledge that’s easy to come by. PS Putin is a tool and since the only person having sus behavior here is you, stop muddying the waters. If anything, you’re an Israeli misinformation bot
Don’t know why Biden didn’t end it again
The break during the Obama administration caused Florida to turn red.
No party in the US is going to touch Cuba until there is a regime change which Cuban expats approve of.
This is simply Cuban’s punishing Cubans.
The wrong type of asylum seekers?
You can presumably understand where they’re coming from, even if voting for the party that hates people from “shithole countries” is not in their interest.
