Cuba's been on American to-do list since 1959 and really, I expect it to be touched now is because every real power is cleaning up their backyards.

Cuba never would have been on that to-do list if U.S. Govt hadn't trusted Castro on him being a "good communist." And backing Castro in overthrowing the Cuban government. Then going surprised Pikachu face when Castro hand delivered Cuba to the Soviet Union.

I think it's Rubio that has eyes on Cuba. Florida Cubans have a generational grudge against the Castro regime and now that Venezuela found out and has their oil tankers blockaded, Mexico is the only oil supplier for Cuba. They're one missed shipment away from being back to the 17th century.

This is probably true. I'm uneasy with having a plague-ridden country full of desperate people just 90 miles off the Florida Coast though.
 
The news today is that Pemex, the nationalized oil company of Mexico, is ceasing their oil exports to Cuba starting today. With that, it means Cuba no longer has any major countries to import oil from. Whatever electricity they have will probably be gone within the next few months unless they can find a new sugar daddy in the Gulf States.

Liberals need to talk to a Cuban-American. They're all staunchly anti-communist because they've directly seen what it does to their country. Plus, don't liberals always go on about listening to minorities? Why don't they listen to the latinx voices of Cuban-Americans?

Even scrolling on the cuban subreddit, holy fuck. I expect a commie circlejerk of non cubans hailing the socialist utopia, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the cubans on there (some of them even seeming to be living there) where demanding nothing less than US liberation and throwing regime officials out of helicopters.
 
We may just be able to get our hands on these beauties at our local cigar shops without having to go to Mexico (and paying their horrendous tobacco taxes) before the year is over. I already know what I'll be smoking if Diaz Canel gets a late night visit from the D-boys.

The problem with both Cuba and Iran is that their diasporas are pretty based and (not coincidentally) most of the ones I’ve met want to return when their respective countries stop being shit :(

Meanwhile, have you ever heard a Somalian be like “oh I can’t wait to return to Somalia once we have governmental change”? No, because they know deep down that the problem is that Somalia is full of Somalians and no governmental change will ever fix that.

I’ll be a little sad when the Cubans go home.

I suspect they could make a deal with one of the smaller Russian oil companies to keep things flowing or make some sort of a deal with the PRC about all this. Then again, the local leadership seems to be more interested in personal enrichment than actually running the country.
 
Cuba is holding out pretty well against Haiti in who can be the "worst country in the Caribbean" competition I see.
 
Been seeing videos in Spanish from the streets of Havana.

Apparently, all gas has run dry even in the black market. What's left is in the hands of the government for the military or to run their Soviet era energy infrastructure. This is leading to decrease in public services like garbage disposal, and probably will affect hospitals and basic infrastructure next.

Cuban cigars on your local cigar shop by Christmas. Legate Marcus Rubius Cubanicus wills it.

If they do eject the Communists i'll personally go there and make sushi and sashimi restaurant and have the restrooms have poorly painted images of fidel Castro inside the urinals.

Time to make the Cuban Visitors Bureau. I'll be buying property and Home Depot imports will allow me to restore their damn electrical fields.
 
Alright, clarification about the earlier story about Pemex stopping oil shipments. They originally said the agreement to ship had stopped, but the other agreement to donate as humanitarian aid is viable. Sheinbaum says Pemex has the final say. All of this seems like a game of hot potato to pass on blame since Sheinbaum's clique within the MORENA party (urban cosmopolitan quasi-leftists/Europe style left) has been going through a backroom power struggle with her predecessor's son (rural ideological Marxist/old school LATAM left/Narco apologists) about their relations with America. I'm not going to pay attention to any more of this until everyone in that clusterfuck of a party has settled on something. Though apparently, this conflict has been going for almost a year since Sheinbaum's people have allegedly been doing backroom dealings with Rubio.

In any case, even with Mexican oil, Cuba is completely fucked. Even when they were getting Venezuelan oil they were totally fucked, and Mexico can't produce what Venezuela did. Pemex is arguably the only oil company more corrupt and incompetent that PDVSA.
