I went to Cuba a bit ago. It's really an amazing country. Yes the people didn't have much, had to improvise, didn't have a ton of opportunities. But you know what I didn't see? Homelessness and starvation like you'll see here in the world's richest country. They have free healthcare and (as I understand it) housing.

I can only imagine what it could be without the blockade. It's infuriating to think about honestly.

Kinda surprised China hasn't just said fuck it and invested heavily in Cuba, they are the new dominant world power after all

China is already heavily investing in Cuba. Sadly, it will take time to finally show the results.

Also, Vietnam and Russia are helping a lot.
