And America has a banking problem with the bricks currency and the CBDC and EV cars from China
America sold Cuba too Russia in 1959 and its economy went communist just like America sold itself too communist China and Russia and America can't provide Housing and jobs too its citizens
The American embargo occurred after Castro allied himself with Russia. He even allowed the USSR to deploy nuclear missiles. The Cuban government could end the embargo at any time if they held free elections.
The Cuban political leaders are not Communists. They are Latinos who live by taking what belongs to others and always have their hands held out and blame others for their demise. All the politicians have to do is to remove the causes of the embargo and everything would begin to flow again. It is that simple. But they tell others what they, the providers, must do but they do not say what they, the politicians, must do.
canada is next
American never forget October 1962. When this Country wanted to blow away the USA to kingdom come.
Without Russia as is the case……………….this Country is doomed.
us embargo has nothing to do with corruption and comunism
so we have another example of how socialism leads to poverty. return to capitalism
The host of this video sounds intelligent and knowledgeable. Her language, however, gives her away. She said (time 5:45) "…gone are Cuba's rich friends. For decades, it could count on the Soviet Union. But when it collapsed in the 1990s…
Who collapsed, the Soviet Union or Cuba?
The subject of the sentence is Cuba. The following use of the world it, "But when it collapsed", refers back to the previous pronoun, it. So, grammatically, she said Cuba collapsed.
This is called a misplaced modifier (related to a dangling modifier).
If the host is so uneducated she cannot speak English correctly, then it is a sign she is not as well-informed on her subject as she'd like you to believe. (Her entire presentation is peppered with such grammatical inconsistences, form over substance.)
The people there live in the days of the Flintstones. It is time to overthrow communism.
Jajajaja…Is Communism!…WTF could go right?!
Stop the excuses! Failed state period.
With so many tourists over the years, where has this money gone?
Will sanctions against Cuba stop communism?
After trying for 65 years I guess not.
Will sanctions against Russia top the war against Ukraine?
No and that is not the purpose of the war. The purpose of the war is to make money to The Military Industrial Complex.
The embargo did not started because the Americans wanted to overthrow Castro.
The embargo started because Castro stole hundreds of American companies and never compensated for it. Please, stop the lies and the Cuban regime propaganda and get back to reality.
It was during height of the Cold War, when a third world country decides to steal millions of American assets. Don’t you think given that CONTEXT that would create a reaction from the United States government ???? Specially 90 miles from its shores ???
Second, the Cuban revolution IS. A totalitarian state. It sent homosexuals and Christians to concentration camps and forced them to harsh labors. It sent thousands of Cubans to the Death Squads.
Suspended all freedom of expression, no political parties, no political dissidents,
It threatened the United States with Nuclear Weapons once.
The revolution for decades sent troops to Africa, Angola, Namibia, Ethiopia for almost 20 years.
The revolution sent troops to fight against Israel in the yon kippur war without Israel having declaring war to Cuba.
The revolution also sent troops to Somalia , and has destabilized Latin America for years sending, training and participating in terrorist guerrillas and groups.
That’s the “revolution” for you !!!
Not to mention, that the Regime align itself to every dictator of the world.
The revolution destroyed Venezuela, a country that was a place where immigrant moved into and turned it into the stinky armpits of Latin America .
My point is ….. the “embargo” was and is well justified given the hostile behavior of the Cuban regime.
The world saw fit the South Africa embargo, in spite the fact that the apartheid government is pale compared to the Comunist revolution.
Please understand that the so called “embargo” doesn’t applies to food and medicine. Which Cuba purchase from the United States every year.
Castro ousted a bourgeoisie class just to replace it with his own kind of bourgeoisie, but his was worded because it was an ideological and totalitarian bourgeoisie!
Besides, for decades the Cuban economy was subsided by the Soviets and Venezuelans and the Russian and Chinese had repeatedly forgiven Cuba’s debt. At the end ??? Is a country that doesn’t prosper.
It can’t give freedom to its citizens not prosperity as long as the communist party still deciding everything for everybody.
The day that the regime come to terms with their debts with the United States due to the confiscation of properties. Free political prisoners, create free and fair elections, restores humans rights , ceases to mingled with Latin American countries internal politics, then they shuttle are the embargo lifted.
The embargo, they brought it to themselves ….. know the facts please.
Oh yeah…. I am Cuban too.
Take away the embargo and you take away the government's excuse…the people will notice when things don't change.
DOES ANY ONE REMEMBER WHY THE EMBARGO HAPPEN? The embargo come as the US response to the Cuban government seizing all the US business and properties, more than 20 billion dollar worth in 1959 about 226 billion today in contrast Cuba has made partial repayment and concessions to 6 other countries like Canada, the UK, France, Mexico, Portugal and Spain for seizing their property
Any conversation about Cuba that doesn't begin with the 60 years of economic sabotage by the US is basically propaganda. This video is propaganda, hit the skip button.
Do you talk to stupid ignorant or what lol
The price of socialism you should ask usa why the new generation of weak woke want this so much ? cuba got what they are barging for they used to be rich before 59
Ex Cuban here to socialist Americans,do you really want this for your country? ? Think about it.
4:44, "trade is done in USD and has to go through US Banks", completely false. There's a Euro Dollar system that has nothing to do with US Banks. Internationals are free to trade all they want with Cuba with almost no consequences. Take Canada, for example, the very country this announcer is from, they trade all day, every day with Cuba and even allow their citizens unrestricted travel.
Ben vaak op Cuba geweest, het is een zeer mooi land.
Voordelen zijn het is een zeer mooi en veilig land met een mooi klimaat en de meeste mensen zijn vrolijk (naast het klagen, wat vooral in Havana extreem is). Vele gratis optredens overal.
Nadelen zijn er is erg veel corruptie, en diefstal op bijna elk niveau, welke ervoor zorgt dat er veel te weinig gewerkt word en dus bijna niets geproduceerd. In een wachtrij kun je ook niet werken natuurlijk.
It’s a fact that freedom is a terrible thing to waste! People want to have a say in their right to pursue a just existence!
Cuban here:
The spirit of the mambises it's still with us, I think there's a way out, but nobody wants to die. We don't trust each other, there's no unity, no family, nothing. People is fleeing the place just because they find home in other countries. I hope it changes for the best, but everything is controlled by the government, modern slavery they say it is. We just need trust, a leader, a guiding light….and even so…
I feel so sad and pitty from Cuba peoples. They are a human being government please treat cubans people well. They are human being they needs foods water etc. Why the government treat them nothing. Your not blind please open your heart ears and eyes. Everytime suffering foods all hungry😢
Why don’t other countries help Cuba ? The USA sanctions only hurt the average person 😢.
