All I’m getting from the news are food aid deliveries and more blockade news. Nothing on the ground.

What are every day Cubans going through right now? Does anyone know?

How the USA destroyed Cuba with economic sanctions

did you know that, during the Covid pandemic, the usa refused to allow countries to sell respirator parts to Cuba? Hundreds died choking on their own bile, meanwhile Cuban doctors traveled the world administer free vaccines to poor countries.

Cuba is way better than the USA

These are some good links. I think the last one is of an ACTUAL Cuban in Cuba

The US is pressuring my country, Italy, to expel hundreds of medics from Cuba who hold together the entire healthcare system. Without them hospitals would collapse. The US wants people to die.

Drusas@fedia.io on 26 Feb 07:56 next collapse

The American government.

We make the distinction between the CCP and China.

tired_n_bored@lemmy.world on 26 Feb 09:06 next collapse

When one says “The US” it is often implicit that they mean “The American government”.

I also said “pressuring Italy”. Of course it means the Italian government, it’s not like each single individual is being pressured

Drusas@fedia.io on 05 Mar 01:25 collapse

I would agree until you word it in such a way that implies an entire nation of people wants people to die. That's very different from a country "pressuring" another country.

tired_n_bored@lemmy.world on 05 Mar 06:52 collapse

Apologies. It was not my intention to discredit Americans individually

Drusas@fedia.io on 08 Mar 02:47 collapse

Appreciated. The average American would not likely be against you.

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 26 Feb 16:37 collapse

don’t lump america with the nazi country.

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 26 Feb 16:37 next collapse

the us and local fascists did just that in my country a few years ago.

choui4@lemmy.zip on 26 Feb 17:02 collapse

Woah, really? Is your country telling them to fuck off?

floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 25 Feb 23:39 next collapse

Define “okay”. By my definition, they haven’t been doing ok since the cold war as they’ve been bullied non-stop since then. It may be on the news again now, but it never stopped.

Drusas@fedia.io on 26 Feb 07:54 collapse

I gather they may mean more along the lines of, "Will they survive? Are people starving?" Etc. Here, now.

Agent641@lemmy.world on 26 Feb 00:36 next collapse

No they aren’t ok.

Hyperinflation and devaluation of currency, shortages of everything including medicine, food and fuel, millions homeless and starving. While previous sanctions stunted their development, the US blockade is flirting with genocide in Cuba now.

There’s no threshold for capitulation as far as I can see, so where does it end? Failed state condition, government collapse, mass starvation, mass death?

You seem confused. You think you’re on reddit or something.

Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk on 26 Feb 16:53 next collapse

No, they’re socialist. And they’d be doing fine if America wasn’t trying to starve them all

This kind of armchair take on human suffering will lead you down a dark path.

Have empathy for others.

GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca on 26 Feb 17:22 collapse

They’re under siege you fucking moron

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 26 Feb 16:41 collapse

probably not. the us is using hunger as a weapon against them.

Mrkawfee@lemmy.world on 26 Feb 19:41 collapse

Just like the israelis do in Gaza.

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 26 Feb 19:58 collapse

pretty much, except palestinians are also getting shot and bombed and the empire can’t justify shooting and bombing cubans just yet.
