CUBA is in a state of ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. The country is out of Cash, there are shortages of Fuel, Food & Medicine and electricity BLACKOUTS are occurring on a daily basis. To make matters worse the SUGAR HARVEST in 2024 is the lowest since 1900. Cuba is a NET IMPORTER and the situation is now EXTREMELY SERIOUS for CUBA. In order to address the problems the Cuban government recently increased the price of Gasoline by 500%, electricity & natural gas prices are up 25% and Food Rations have been cut. In this video I provide an update on all latest situation and discuss what is likely to happen in Cuba.

Normalize relations. Get in there and help them. Cuba and the United States should be BFF. Chi a will move in and we'll be sorry.

China will be in there at the speed of light, no matter their own impending domestic catastrophe. We cannot let that happen. This should already be done.

... for the U.S. NOT to come to Cuba's aid. There is only malice, which a Trump administration would impose in spades. From a global strategic standpoint, to not be the first to offer assistance in any and every way possible would be stupidity on a scale that could only be measured in astronomical terms. And could never, EVER be forgiven. Keep that in mind, Republican sympathizers.
