Cuba’s Electrical Grid Has Collapsed as Trump Threatens to “Take” the Island – The USA Potato

Cuba’s aging #grid has drastically eroded in recent years, leading to daily outages & an increase in significant #blackouts.

The government blames its woes on a #US #energy #blockade after #Trump in January warned of #tariffs on any country that sells or provides #oil to #Cuba.

[so Trump impedes their ability to provide #electricity & them blames them for not providing electricity. That’s called a setup for failure.]

[...] The “problem with #Cuba” is that it spread its example of #solidarity and #internationalism within a destructive #capitalism that expresses the opposite.

The “problem with Cuba” is that it has been and is an example of self-determination and resistance against the criminal #blockade. It is the example of having become involved in the struggle to end the #SouthAfrican #apartheid regime. It is the example it provided when it received the victims of the #Chernobyl disaster. It is the exemplary commitment of the #medical and health missions that Cuba sends to dozens of countries, and that has deepened as a policy in the middle of the pandemic, when no other country dared to do so.
