Hey China, want some great geopolitical PR, give a shit-ton of solar panels to cuba as a fellow revolutionary state. Make everyone else look like a bunch of dicks.
Yeah I don’t understand what China’s doing here. There’s probably a reason, like perhaps the fear of US military retaliation in Cuba, should the sanctions appear completely ineffective. Does anyone know why China’s holding its dick instead of helping Cubans?
Maybe they don’t see Cuba as a place intended in their sphere of influence or long term exploitable resources? Fishery? Idk
Cuba should be given all the help it can be given!
Its so fucking stupid that the US wont do what it apparently now does best, and sell them some oil. Since when have petrostates ever been scrupulous about who they sell oil to?
Theyre literally 80 miles away and could buy a lot of oil. Just from a ruthlessly rational perspective it makes no sense not to sell it, age old beef aside
A socialist state with a decent standard of living within 80 miles of the US cannot be allowed to exist for the same reason as why the oligarch class is throwing everything at Zohran. The only real threat to the their wealth is the 99% organizing to take (some of) it. You can probably see what effect any successful examples of redistribution could have on this prospect. The owner class have worked relentlessly to stamp out most of these ideas. Now that foreign sources of profit are looking uncertain and exploitation is turning inwards, it’s even more important for Americans to be kept away from such thoughts.
