    I wouldn’t consider a country that cannot manage its own power supply “successful.”

    I mean admittedly I don’t know much about Cuba other than that they’re being blockades but if they can’t get oil because of America’s blockade that’s not really their fault.

    I suspect the US would be more willing to help if Cuba stopped being a one-party authoritarian state that sides with America’s geopolitical enemies, namely Russia.

    It’s not about helping; it’s about not essentially forbidding the rest of the developed world from trading with them.

      Years of middling and attempt to disrupt their live, then people say “look at these un-civilized people” and “it is a failed state”

      The fail state is the one where kids go to school with high risk of getting shot.

      The fail state is the one where people dont fear losing their entire saving for medical emergency.

      The fail state is the one that completely controlled by a foreign lobby group.

        It’s telling that I didn’t know which country you were talking about until I looked at the parent comment.
