‘There is no money’: Cuba fears total collapse amid grid failure and financial crisis
United States needs to stop the stupid sanctions
Yes, but that won't solve the fundamental problems that led up to this.
Yet it might have solved those problems had the sanctions been lifted 20+ years ago, allowing Cuba more access to diversifying their power grid through being able to get better deals for parts than they currently can.
The sanctions are part and parcel to why they're struggling, and to ignore that they've been extremely limited in who they can trade with, and that limits their options for budgeting what they can buy because they have very few suppliers, is foolhardy.
No, we can't fix the past, but we can recognize that it might have gone very differently had sanctions been lifted long ago.
This is what those sanctions are meant to cause. The idea is to force a change in regime from within. It's ridiculous that we're still doing it 50 years later.
