You can live without electricity and even food for a while, but you can’t live without water.

Dating back to as long as writing exists, there is a principle called the rule of 3. Every regime is 3 bad days away from being overthrown. If a population has no food to eat for three days straight, they tend to overthrow their leaders. This applies to armies, sailors, and commoners during a siege. The whole point of a siege was to cut a population off from food until they run out knowing that leaders faced with a starving population will either surrender or be killed in a revolt by new leaders who will negotiate a surrender in exchange for food.

Melt bitch. And yes, because of communism, normal countries can't sell to them. Therefore they are tied to a government hostile, like Iran.

Capitalism would have handled easily

Do you think there are a lot of people with A/C in Cuba?



I was very close with a lovely Cuban lady a few years ago. She had a green card and worked here, sent money back to her family in Cuba.
Most don't have A/C in Cuba.
She sent money back so her family could buy a milk cow and have a steady supply of milk. Those folks live as peasants.

Cuba does not produce more oil because its existing reserves consist of heavy, high-sulfur crude that is expensive to extract and process. Furthermore, the island lacks the modern drilling technology, foreign investment, and updated infrastructure required to expand domestic production to meet national demand.



Thats not the fault of the US. They have large oil reserves and do produce a good bit of oil themselves. Enough to keep the power plants running. They should have invested more in solar and wind power.

I don’t know if they would be much better off, but that’s a cool trick we play where we sanction and suffocate countries to death, then OMG they failed.

As a true free market maven, you should not support us intervening in other countries’ economies.
