In this way, the countries continue to break the criminal blockade imposed by the U.S. on Havana.

    I love this so much on two fronts:

    Finally, the country that was especially revered by Che Guevara has offered and delivered really meaningful material help. Especially that historically the aid from the Soviet Union came with the stipulation that Cuba couldn’t advocate or participate in global communist revolution. China was more amenable.

    And secondly BRICS is shaping up to be the long overdue, great international rebuke to the great bully of imperialist America. They’re forming bigger and bigger trade partnerships and mutual aid that will soon enough usurp America’s dominant influence in the world.

    It’s the End of the American Empire…and I feel fine.

    But mostly right now I’m elated for the people of Cuba. Who have endured so much due to the strangling American sanctions. And through it all not only persevered but thrived in many ways.

    my inner pessimist wonders if this is enough to help the cubans and how long it will take for the americans to figure out a way to impose their blockade on the skies as well.

      This is just one of many solutions being actively worked on with Cuba’s allies.

      From what I have investigated, their main issue is the energy crisis which affects all of their industrial sector and to mitigate that China/Russia are working with Cuba to develop more solar farms to reduce Cuba’s oil usage. It will take time but I am confident that in the long run Cuba will grow prosperous as the US/EU blockade dwindle.
