Why would that be? I thought communism/socialism was a great thing. What’s the big problem here?

An energy blockade since January may have had an impact.

Leftists wont blame communism, they'll blame the US for not subsidizing Cuba to continue its stupid retarded ineffective government.

Of course commies feel no sense of duty to contribute, they always demand to be given things for zero in return. Literal babies.

Seems like they have been saying this is happening for at least a year now. Is it for real this time?

Agreed. And an energy blockade is a pretty big one considering the shaky foundation they already live on.

You can't push the suicidal guy off the building then blame him because he wouldn't listen to your reasonable argument.

You don't have to push a suicidal guy off a roof. He'll do it himself.

So Trump's blockade was unnecessary? Why did we do it then? If they would have collapsed on their own? Because Rubio wanted it to happen faster, so he made it happen faster. We pushed them off the edge.

But you're right, eventually they would have jumped on their own.

How long does it take to go from 65% enriched to weaponized?

The book I'm reading explains that Communism has a contradiction between Production and Consumption. The USSR drove workers to move and work faster and faster in order to move production levels up to that of capitalist countries. Then the workers knocked off, got a few rubles and went to the grocery where they waited standing in line with 100 other customers. An hour later they got a loaf of bread. They made jokes about the contrast.
