America Continues To Wreck Cuba

HAVANA — The electricity went out Friday in Cuba, affecting the entire island's population of 10 million after one of its main power plants failed, according to Cuba’s energy ministry.

On Friday evening, authorities announced power had been restored to about 20,000 residents of the capital, Havana, which has a population of 2 million.

Power outages have been chronic in Cuba for years and have worsened in recent months. But the situation was so critical in the past three days that the government took measures to keep the lights on.

Over 200 sanctions, bringing a poor country to its knees in the name of regime change!

A wicked act made more pronounced by Trump and continued by Biden! Kamala is bound to change the m/o!

While doing 'bi-niz' with a country they carpet-bombed to stop communism but is now ruled by the communists who defeated them..

And a one would want to tell me that wickedness nuh deh bout, anytime I see evil, I have to put on my Christocentric hat!

Cuba is only suffering because of so many so called good and decent countries are in lock step
with America and its policies.
The shame is on them rather than America...you can draw inference with the elections in America.
Everyone knows Trump is a bastard in all way abhorrent to decency,morals and competence but look at his
support....can't blame Trump..he is what he is but those basking in his low light, are the real problem.

So cry shame on those countries from all continents that have been captive of America's depraved
actions.
At the top of the tree is the UN a body without soul, power, influence or credibility except at the behest of the USA.
All are guilty.

Yes, America practices economic terrorism on countries who do not submit to their ways. What many of these American policy makers are not wise enough to understand, because of their sanctions the systems that they want to breakup become stronger in the affected countries. It is highly likely that Cuba's ruling regime would not have survived this long if Cuba was not under sanction and their people were free to trade and travel.

If America was decent, Trump would not be on the campaign stump! At the same time, if the Democrats were any good in putting people first, Trump and Kamala would not be running a race so close!

America has always been hypocritical in its policies!

Millions of Cubans remained without power for a third day in a row Sunday after fresh attempts to restore electricity failed overnight

The Cuban Electrical Union said about 16% of the country had had power restored when the aging energy grid again overloaded late Saturday. Officials did not provide an update on when service would be reestablished.

This marks the third full collapse of Cuba’s energy grid since Friday, and most in the 10 million-strong country have had their access to power interrupted the whole time.

T&T and the Caribbean has been calling for the lifting of the embargo at every opportunity for the last 40 years with no meaningful support.

It's just pure wickedness that this spite and curse on generations of Cubans is being allowed to continue. Not only a great injustice to the Cuban people and its general outlook, but it also deprives others the opportunity to visit an amazing vibrant properly functioning country instead of a broken romantic retro - distopia it has become .


End the spite now !

Biggest hypocrites ever..can't stand it anymore..

In reply to XDFIX

Hypocritical is a compliment
The success and growth of BRICS entity are critical to the world's advancement and betterment.

Cuba's problem is lack of money, if they had money, they could bypass the embargo.

How do you guys square with the fact that Cuba is a one party state for the last 65 years...?

No other political parties are allowed, no dissent is allowed, no freedom of speech, no protest is tolerated...

All of the above transgressions can land a person in prison for a minimum of five years.

We 'progressives' in the English speaking Caribbean tend to hold the Cuban people to a higher standard...
Very few of them support a communist doctrine..

That situation has been foisted on them in the form of a 65 year social experiment..

Most Cubans would leave the island if they had the means.

You guys should recall the events that led up to the 1980 Mariel Boatlift, when a few brave souls invaded the Peruvian embassy in Havana and asked for asylum..

Ten thousand Cubans descended on the embassy compound the following day...

That single act should have shown the communist government that everyone in the island was not happy with the way things were being run.

It was a great opportunity for compromise between the Castro's and the people.

That was 44 years ago.
The people are tired, fed up and desperate.... While the leadership keeps singing the same excuses..

Every Cuban who lives outside of the island, wants regime change .. while we English speaking Caribbeans are siding with the communist government...

All Caribbean countries live on the coattails of the West, in general, and America, in particular.

Cuba’s obsolete electricity infrastructure is keeping the country in the dark

Cuba's problem biggest problem was the fall of their primary benefactor and protector, the Soviet Union.

They could, and did withstand the American embargo with Soviet aid. But when that aid dried up it was always going to be hard road for Cuba going forward.

No we are siding with the Cuban people, that's the bigger picture here . You mean the US wants to give them the same kind of 'democracy' and 'freedom' they gave to Iraq and LIbya ? Once great nations now shadows of themsleves .Man down with the US and their imperialism and 'freedom' .

Cuba is no threat to anyone and had they been allowed to prosper their politics would've advanced by now, ironically it's the embargo that has kept their political system stuck in time as everything else.

Cuba would've been one of the richest and most powerful countries in the the hemisphere ...

I hope you know the current iteration of US government system and state isn't the last and they would.have bigger problems than maintaining this spiteful campaign against the Cuban people.

The US has weaponized the right to live and prosper . Sick of the US and their games .

*You sound like them American politicians pretending they can't do anything about the genocide taking place under their watch because 'terrorists' , sick of the dehumanizing of humans for political agenda and interests, f@ck the US and their system , doesn't work for everyone. We are talking about millions and millions of people suffering because of the US NOW !

Better than 'fellas hold that 1,2,3,4,5 ' etc ? I doubt ..

In reply to bravos

Bravos... if as you say, you are siding with the Cuban people; how about helping them petition for voting rights...!

That way they can determine who should lead the country; and which system of government they want to live under.
