  1.  @thokozanidzobozsangweni7134  The US is the least of Cuba's problems as the US despite the embargos is one of its top trading partners. Cuba's communism been weak from the start as it hardly produces anything worth trading and has been dependent on foreign aid ever since Castro took over.

  10.  @thokozanidzobozsangweni7134  < in my point of view the US is the one that exploiting Cuba and putting pushing a false narrative about Cuban communism, labelling it as weak. > It is weak. It is nothing without foreign aid to compensate for the Cuban government's gutting of domestic industry with price control, high tariffs and taxes, trade restrictions and bureaucracy.

  12. Exactly.

  13.  @michaelstamike  No. Cuba is a shithole thanks to Castro. Interesting how the loss of Soviet and Venezuelan aid did far more damage to Cuba's economy than the US sanctions. Plus, Cuba gets most of its food from the very same US.

  14.  @SA4Peace2  America is not responsible for Castro decimating domestic industry with his nationalizations, price controls and production quotas making Cuba dependent on imports.

  15.  @SA4Peace2  <Cuba used to be a thriving heaven for the rich.> And ever since Castro, Cuba has been a run-down ghetto. Sanctions are not a valid excuse for tyranny and mismanagement.

  24.  @cefasfah85  Cuba's infrastructure is falling apart. Cuba cannot feed itself without US food aid and remittances.

  25. Pretty much.

  26. <Cuba was just trying to free themselves from US Imperialism> Only to subject themselves to Russian/Soviet imperialism. And like every other vassal state after 1991, Cuba collapsed.

  29. Exactly.
