I didn't know until recently that the US had such an effective blockade, so enemies of the US are Cuba's only hope, this is great to see.

    If you want to work for a major American corporation outside of the US (e.g., in the EU), you may run into trouble if you've ever been to Cuba (or a few other so-called terror states).

    What are they worried about? There's no reason to go that far, other than ensuring deaths of as many Cubans as possible, and the eventual collapse of the entire country.

    Fuck yeah.

    Imagine if america built solar panels instead of bomb negotiation. But the american admin seems hell bent in making the worst choices. Good on china for showing how to do international policy.

    The US is going all in on the doomed oil and coal economy, and going to continue to use the pursuit of oil as a cause for war, until its too weak to do so. Meanwhile the PRC and countries allied to it are transitioning to the green energy future: solar, wind, nuclear fission and fusion.

    The long-term trend will be that the countries that are able to harness more energy, will outpace those that don't. So soon it'll be the US and Europe playing catchup to Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
