Cuba did some good things - in education, in medicine - but if it’s such a wonderful country, why is everything there a decaying flashback to the 1950s where everything is falling apart?
Lmao, that’s a testament to communist Cuba’s success. No other form of government could withstand a US embargo for a year and not collapse. Cuba has withstood for DECADES and has surpassed the US in life expectancy. The buildings are kinda shabby, but homelessness, infant mortality, illiteracy are all LOWER than the US, the richest country in the history of the world.
American foreign policy since the cuban revolution has openly and intentionally been aimed at depriving Cubans of food in the hopes that the people would revolt. It’s being denied the ability to trade with other sovereign nations at the barrel of a gun.

It might be that the capitalist world power next door has had an embargo on them since the 1950s. And look at all they’ve accomplished despite that. Now imagine what they’d have accomplished had they been allowed to thrive.
so you know how Cuba is a small island nation with a population less than some cities that traditionally relied on exports of raw materials like sugar and tobacco. Yeah well that’s why it isn’t as rich as major industrial economies
If you compare Cuba with another Carribean nation for example Haiti Cuba is doing far better in literally every quality of life metric
Cuba is a beacon of progress and humanity in the Americas. Fidel Castro was a hero. Also a pro at dodging the CIA’s kill squads.

“Why is everything manufactured in other countries from before the embargo started”
Because the US has been embargoing it for 50 years to prevent it from getting everything it needs.
The UN regularly votes on the US embargo of Cuba, and only the US and its lapdog Israel support it.
are you trolling or have you actually not heard that Cuba has been embargoed for decades
Death to America
punches you in the face
stop hitting yourself nerd
