This is absolutely criminal. The world should stand up to the gangsters in Washington and run the illegal US embargo to deliver aid to Cuba.
Well, they have funded a slow genocide for decades. I don’t think they give a shit.
And it’s by far not the first such case, fcuk this.
How it should go ^^, how it is going: everybody is silent, nobody dares to object the Orange, all countries are coward, selfish and shortsighted. Even Chine just whines a bit. #wcgw
China should send a bunch of its surplus solar panels. Cuba could go oil free and be strong.
Try flying a jet with solar panels.
Cuba has had solar for years. 50 farms completed in 2025.
That’s not realistic. Not at present (energy storage is missing) and it takes time. It’d help though.
Right, power 10h a day is better than power 0h a day
Sure, but even that would take time at that scale. But you are right, everything helps. I wonder, though, would the Orange block Chinese help…
Protests began in 2024. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024–2026_Cuban_protests
Obama lifted sanctions, Trump reenacted them and Biden only lifted then shortly before the end of his term. From Reuters:
15. Jan. 2025 President Joe Biden 's announcements effectively roll back many of the sanctions put in place by President-elect Trump
How should Biden’s hesitation to lift the sanctions when taking over office be judged? In 2025 election was over and Trump was expected to reenact them immediately. To me it seems like Trump is finishing a job that was some time in the making.
Congress just skipped town, they don’t care to do anything about it.
