Timed perfectly just to dunk on Puerto Rico
Any room for English speaking teachers?
Will work for testestorone.
Wow. Apparently legalised same-sex marriage and adoption in 2022.
Cuba’s only problem is American sanctions.
?
Cuba’s only problem is American sanctions.
Yes I understood what was written but that doesn’t make sense and is an insane blanket statement.
If it would’ve been stated that the major problem is the sanctions or the most significant one, maybe/probably true. But to try and compress the complexity of any nation down like this is very negligent and borderline evil as you judge that literally nobody in the country can have a justified problem with their government or how things are run etc pp. Which is straight up insane and condescending.
Edit: didn’t immediately get that this account is a different one, doesn’t change anything but the grammar though
Is this a reasonable response to what I said? Obviously there are other problems that affect Cubans, use context clues my dude. Was what I said insane? I would characterize your response to the mild statement I made as more insane… It’s evil and condensing to describe the economic suppression of an entire nation by the US, because you lack historical reading for it to “make sense” to you?
It’s evil and condensing that you admit you don’t understand the argument being made, and immediately jump up rejecting it and attacking the person making it.
Name a problem that’s uniquely Cuban and can’t directly be contributed to American sanctions or straight up terrorism.
I have a ton of respect for Cuba. They’re remarkably plucky, given that the US has spent decades trying to strangle them to death.
Yeah, they’ve also seemed to follow Fidel’s model of willingness to reflect and grow. Early Cuba was brutal, before and after their revolution. Fidel did and ordered horrible things, but he changed and showed remorse as he aged. That trait made him stick out to me among world leaders as someone who genuinely wanted what was best for his people and country. He also seemed to try to not rob the country blind as so many in positions like his do.
I wish nothing but the best for my neighbors in Cuba. I know they’re going through more rough times, but they’re tough as all get out and I suspect that they’re far more likely to eventually move to a stateless, moneyless, and free society than any other nominally communist nation at the moment. And to my trans siblings in Cuba, congrats
Wow. I know I say this a lot but I really mean it this time.
That’s fucking crazy. (In a good way)
Seriously, good for them.
Cuba is one of the poorest countries in Latin America and the Caribbean with high inflation, collective poverty, and food shortages.[17][18] It is heavily indebted due to its large public sector and high deficit spending.[19][20]
Anything but fixing the economy eh?
Heh.
Said the American
multiple things can occur
that implies they are fixing the economy, which they are not
If the US lifted sanctions, the economy would get a lot closer to “fixed”. Pretty ridiculous to act like the economic problems are not a result of the reactionary policies of the capitalist vampires.
Cuba has an authoritarian government wherein political opposition is prohibited.[16][17] Censorship is extensive and independent journalism is repressed;[18][19][20] Reporters Without Borders has characterized Cuba as one of the worst countries for press freedom.[21][20]
Somehow a repressive communist hellhole is also the US’s fault
Both can be true.
If everything is Cuba’s fault, then US can lift sanctions and they’ll continue to be failing. But they won’t do that because Cuba, while awful for speech rights, would be pretty good in most other aspects without the sanctions, and a successful socialist country isn’t allowed to exist.
and a successful socialist country isn’t allowed to exist.
you make it sound like socialism is just down to cuba
You jumped from economy to press freedom.
Cuba’s economy is entirely because of American sanctions.
Cuba’s primary export trading partners are integral to its economy. In 2025, top partners included the Netherlands (18% of exports, $1.1 billion), China (15%, $900 million), Spain (12%, $720 million), Canada (10%, $600 million), and Germany (9%, $540 million).

That must explain why they are a communist shithole, no freedom of press, state run enterprises that are garbage
The Government’s monthly food basket provides basic commodities for the entire population. However, in 2023 it was almost entirely imported, and the Government reported shortages and delays in distribution.

You’ll idolise anyone who has universal healthcare instead of voting for it
In February 2016, the U.S. agreed to allow two American men to build a $5-10 million tractor factory.[61] The deal was later disallowed by Cuban authorities because factory ownership is illegal in Cuba.[62][63]

🤣
Is your last quote supposed to make us agree with you? “Tiny island’s gov does what your corrupt one couldn’t achieve since 1950”?
Lol
Yeah it turns out when your country is under siege war the government has to restrict some speech to keep the peace. That’s war.
firstly Cuba isn’t under siege war secondly no it doesn’t :)
Sanctions are siege warfare.
And wartime is exactly when the government has to restrict some speech. I bet you have no problem with Ukraine doing it.
Lift the sanctions then
Maybe look into why their economy sucks then your post wouldn’t sound as stupid as it does because you wouldn’t post what you posted if you had.
Over sixty years of economic sanctions by the US on Cuba are why their economy sucks. Despite this, they haven’t gone bankrupt and still try and help other nations in times of crisis.
Ask yourself why Cuba has a better health outcome than the richest country in the world.
Maybe you don’t see reality because of your “American eyes” and education.
He knows
Can’t you just stick to helping Ukraine instead of talking about things you know jackshit about?
Guess Americans can flee to Cuba
