    the question remains of why the US government wants to keep Cuba in the dark

    because a successful alternative to capitalism cannot be tolerated.

      I wouldn’t consider a country that cannot manage its own power supply “successful.” I suspect the US would be more willing to help if Cuba stopped being a one-party authoritarian state that sides with America’s geopolitical enemies, namely Russia.

        Meanwhile in Iran and China…

        The U.S. doesn’t need to help, they just need to stop hindering, as I understand it.

        texas is unsuccessful then, and as a result the US is an unsuccessful country?

        I don’t like many things about the US but I wouldn’t call the country itself unsuccessful

        I mean admittedly I don’t know much about Cuba other than that they’re being blockades but if they can’t get oil because of America’s blockade that’s not really their fault.

        I suspect the US would be more willing to help if Cuba stopped being a one-party authoritarian state that sides with America’s geopolitical enemies, namely Russia.

        It’s not about helping; it’s about not essentially forbidding the rest of the developed world from trading with them.

          Years of middling and attempt to disrupt their live, then people say “look at these un-civilized people” and “it is a failed state”

          The fail state is the one where kids go to school with high risk of getting shot.

          The fail state is the one where people dont fear losing their entire saving for medical emergency.

          The fail state is the one that completely controlled by a foreign lobby group.

            It’s telling that I didn’t know which country you were talking about until I looked at the parent comment.

      In Cuha it’s not even about communism; it’s about being way too close to a global superpower who is also your enemy.

      Maybe this blackout will make it clear for them. If an oligarchy wasn’t the way to go, we wouldn’t be winning so hard.
