With China giving Cuba free buses and appliances, Venezuela giving Cuba free oil, Russia forgiving debts and other countries basically giving Cuba money and free stuff, Cuba selling off oil blocks out in the water… you would think Cuba would be a rich, self sustaining country.

That darned Embargo though right? That’s why Cuba is a poor country? Cuba is poor because of Fidel Castro, communism and a centrally controlled economy that does not work.

Maybe Raul will let the Cuban people be free so they can work where and when they want, travel where and when they want and vote for who they want?

Probably not.

In the fullness of time, Iran will have to be prepared to write off its loans to deadbeat Cuba.  Ask Russia about Cuba’s credit history.
