China's solar parks are reshaping Cuba's power grid as the island races to reduce blackouts and fuel dependence.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if China might also be supplying weapons to Cuba.

    What’s up with the down votes? I’m hoping they’re armed to the teeth if the US tries any shit.

      I hope so. If they’d been able to keep the missiles the Soviets had stationed there, they wouldn’t be in this mess.

      To weaken/further humiliate the US? To market their green technology? For humanitarian purposes?

      Take your pick, it’s some combination of the three.

        It’s definitely all three, but I just want to point out that Cuba I believe has more doctors per capita than any other country and sends medical aid all over the world. They developed their own Covid vaccine because they had no access to the others thanks to the blockade. It’s not like they have nothing to offer.

    That’s based. But didn’t Cuba basically rescind their Communist policies recently because of a lack of international support and the US sanctions having crippled the country

      You should listen to this podcast episode which argues that Cuba did not, in fact, “rescind its communist policies”, and that Cuba has long been navigating the constraints of the blockade in various ways, for decades

        Wow I just listened to a two hour podcast of three people doing ZERO mentions of how China and Russia are dropping the ball on international solidarity because apparently that doesn’t exist. Apparently the USSR disappeared and now Cuba just has nobody to count on well gee that sucks. Gotta implement capitalist policies now!

        Am I glad I don’t listen to these Grahan Platner fans often. BadEmpanada doesn’t care about pissing off some of his audience. These guys are farming.

          Yet more examples of splitting. In the span of weeks, BE was promoted to golden god of truth & righteousness, and Cuba demoted to capitalist pigs.

            The Cuban social system is not being abandoned because they wanted to but because the US successfully imposed it on Cuba.

                  The word ultra is used to refer to idealist leftists who are divorced from the real world and can’t understand the concept of having to make compromises. It’s the people Lenin wrote this book for, specifically this chapter https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/lwc/ch08.htm
