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


What was the causing that shaky foundation?

Yeah. I felt like you were trying to dismiss the communism.

It felt like we were kinda arguing when we shouldn't have been.

So communism works, and the only reason it failed was due to the blockade?

I'm not going to advocate for communism, but that's a cute thing we do where we sanction a country to death to try to collapse it. Pompeo used to basically laugh about it with Iran.

The main reason it failed as of q3 2026 was the blockade, yes. It would have failed eventually on its own, but Marco Rubio accelerated the process. Is this really that hard to acknowledge? Why?

It’s was bad before the blockade but obviously that made it even worse.

For the average Cuban it's been collapsed for decades

Send Bernie and Mamdani down there to fix it. Don’t let them come back until they have proof of concept.

If Cuba wasn’t a communist system what’s the alternative? Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa? Capitalism hasn’t made them any less dysfunctional.

What’s the big problem here?



USAID ended

Shifting Global oil control over to the US

Taking back control of the Panama Canal

Stopping Hormuz toll collections in London


Once we removed Maduro, and took back control of oil, the daily news media outrage reports on drug boats being taken out stopped, why is that?

Because the US Media is largely pro-Globalists themselves. They were trying to influence Americans to be against any action in Venezuela, for the same reason they falsely claim ending USAID has caused kids in 3rd world countries to starve since it ended.

Exactly! And it's not their fault they didn't do it right. Evil America wouldn't allow them to trade because America fears communism.

Cuba is much closer to the U.S. mainland and Florida. The tourism alone would boost their economy big time. You could travel to Cuba from Miami or Key West for the day by boat for lunch and be back home by late afternoon/early evening.

Though I am hopeful, I have been hearing this for 30 years. Talk about a slow death. First it was that Castro had to die and then they would be free. Then his brother. I will believe it when I see it.
