I'm a bit surprised that Assoc. Prof. Amalia Dache couldn't just say that the Cuban political class is white. Regardless, this isn't a racial issue, it's a political issue called Socialism. The only thing that has ever been in abundance, in a Socialist or Communist country, is misery.

Cuba was prosperous in the 1950s, had a positive immigration flow, and a higher per capita income than FRANCE! Then hurricane Castro hit and the bodies piled up.
@@david1952000 Yes literally! And that includes fellow revolutionaries who fought for him in the neighboring provinces. And Fidel Castro was far worse than General Batista who preceeded him.

@@luislaplume8261 unfortunately, it’s the same situation with Haiti as well. We have a beautiful island but the government suck the people dry. Economically we can’t get ahead because the government protect the elite and enable them to make more business while the little man suffer. We must fight and push forward for change. We can’t continue to live like this. My great, great grandfather was Cuban. I always wanted to visit the island but I never wanted to contribute to this government.
Fulgencio Batista led a coup d'etat in 1952. It toppled a democratically elected government and initiated another dictatorship (one of many in the history of the Republic) Naturally, the middle class did not support Batista and supported the rebels in the mountains. When Castro entered Havana during the first weeks of January 1959 the entire island, less remnants of Batista supporters, idolized him as a liberator. I was a child in Havana at the time and remember the adulation of the masses on TV as he entered the city. Shortly after came the puppet trials televised live for the public. Individuals were sentenced to death for real or imagined political crimes. I remember those. I was 8 years old and remember the masses yelling "Paredon" on TV. I didn't even know what Paredon meant. I learned quick enough that it was the masses demanding the firing squad for individuals put on trial. The neighborhood committees were instituted shortly after. Each neighborhood had an assigned family charged with the task of spying and snitching on the residents. My parents sat us down and told us that we must not repeat anything that was said in our home to any one. This instilled fear in our child minds, fear that our parents could be arrested and our family destroyed. It was shortly after my father's business (a business that he built from scratch through sweat equity) was nationalized, when we left the island during 1960. Over 100,000 other members of the middle class who did not approve of the regime left during or shortly after our departure. In Miami, we sought political asylum in the US. The US took us in and adopted us as its own. We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to start over, and have always been thankful to our adopted country. This is the communism at work at its beginning as seen through the eyes of an 8-9 year old child. The situation on the island got progressively worse throughout the years. I consider myself lucky that my parents had the forethought to take us out of there to a place free of oppression where we could grow up with freedom of speech and of mind.
@@cptprice111 Lol... the middle class makes the nation. The larger it is the happier the people are. Those who are poor get help and do not stay poor forever,. There is upward mobility in first world nations. Communism is stale and stagnant everyone is poor and stays poor except for the governing communist elite. They always live well although they lead the masses to believe that they are equal. There is NO equality in communism just oppression poverty and misery. Communists want the people poor and hungry. If the masses have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, they won't spend too much time planning revolutions. That is the reality my friend.
@@cptprice111 It is the middle class that makes a nation prosper. The larger it is, the more opportunities for a high standard of living for the citizens. There is upward mobility in first world nations. The poor do not stay poor forever and there is always help from the government and/or charitable organizations to get the poor out of poverty. Communism on the other hand is stale and stagnant. Every one is poor except for the ruling elite and there is very little room at the top of the pyramid. The top brass always lives well. Some people are too ignorant to realize that the goal of the communist elite is not so much the well being of the citizens: it is rather to keep themselves in power. In order to achieve this they need to keep the "proletariat" poor and hungry. If people have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, they won't spend too much time planning revolutions. Communism breeds poverty, oppression, corruption and misery. There must have been a reason why all of Eastern Europe shook itself off of communism back in 1989 and later Russia in 1991. Ask an average Russian, Pole or Bulgarian if they would like to live under communism again. We all know what their answer would be. That is the reality of the matter.
Thanks for your valuable perspective. But democracy in Cuba has the risk of USA infiltration and swindling national assets out of the country. They need to have some mechanism to prevent that.
democracy is only about changing the regime and the middle class... when the west comes there, they will install loyal people there and people will learn about Fidel as a dictator and other nonsense... you will be a bastion against Russia against China and don't expect any nonsense, maybe a wreck it will be better to live, but only the middle class and stately employees and those who work for foreign corporations and serve foreign interests@@CyberneticOrganism01

When the Cubans launched the US led Bay of Pigs fiasco he never returned. Cubans in Miami and all over the US Love President Trump!
You are absolutely right. Race is not an issue in this calamity that has overtaken the island. Cubans come in all colors, shapes and sizes. Communism is equal opportunity poverty for all....except the communist ruling elite.

Growing up in Cuba for the first 14 years of my life I never ever heard the race card. race or skin color was never even a thought, for her to point out that the people in power are like the wall behind her it is ridiculous. She has being brain wash. We CUBANS proud our self in defining us as CUBANS not afro cuban or white cuban.
Yes, I found it odd that she played the race card and blamed white people governing Cuba. I doubt highly that white people are controlling the Government or have anything to do with the Castro families Cuba.
In Spanish cultures we call it elitism. Hispanics come in all colors and yes my grandfather's family were from what I was told elitists cause they were white or should I say not black.
Exactly, i don't know why she tossed that in there so casually. You can already tell she never lived in Cuba. We are Cubans, not white or black lol. Todos sufren lo mismo.
She's American. "Race" and "abusive husband" should indicate how she perceives the world. What she would not admit is weak governments cannot feed people either.
@@yo2trader539 agreed. It's an oddly American thing. I HATE the fact that Americans bring up race and skin color no matter what the topic is. Makes us sound so fucking stupid.
Something to that she forgot to mention is that the Cuban regimen don't want to recognize is that despite the US embargo, Cuba do have access to all markets just using another currency that is not the US dollar. Cuba has a huge debt because they do have access to financial resources.
No, you will not. Even if the regime falls tomorrow, nothing will happen immediately. There will be a social and political unrest; Cuba will become a burden to the IMF. It will rely upon foreign aid forever. People forgot what the hard work is. Nobody wants to be a farmer anymore. Cubans are lazy to the point they can't grow chicken in the rural areas. Chicken feed themselves! - Still there is no chicken in the stores. The ocean is full of fish, but you won't see it in Cuba.The problem is much much deeper than the bad government.
Personally, using racism as an issue as to why the Cuban government is communist is racist itself. This has nothing to do with racism, it has to do with power.
Elites vs the poor,same here in America Biden administration says it’s race vs race nope it’s the 1% against the rest all perpetrated by the democrats who since losing the civil war always planned it’s the long game finally about to come true unless enough people wake up and vote out the rhinos and democrats,only one solution for a start is trump….hate or like him they are terrified of him that’s why they are doing all this legal warfare and division through racism in America

I have been to Cuba several times and have found the people there to be welcoming and lovely. I spoke with a young woman who is a pharmacist but was working on our resort as an event coordinator while her husband ran the pharmacy. She had to take the job in order to feed her family. We visited the pharmacy and there was virtually nothing on the shelves. Absolutely heartbreaking. These people deserve better.

As a cuban-american I agree with these experts 100%, and thank Sky news for exposing what's going on in a once prosperous nation destroyed by communism.
Your ignorance is intentional or plain brainwashing made USA corporate class. The causes of the problems are not found in Cuba. The cause is at the north of the island.
I listened to this report and I'm rather shocked between the similarities between Cuba its "Government" and South Africa and the ANC here. Both follow a communist believe and I can only but support the people of Cuba to break free from this Communist Dictatorial regime, similar to what we have with the ANC here in South Africa. Weaponizing food and electricity etc.... the state's complete inability to provice the most basic services, yet they want to remain in power for the own financial benefit.
Democracy has the risk of being infiltrated by USA and then national assets swindled out of the country That's why some people may support the current regime. We need to have a mechanism to prevent that from happening.
My friends father in law is a high up Cuban official. He was on the phone to my friend recently in tears about what was happening to Cuba. So sad. All due to politics, corrupt politicians and corrupt policies.
If the Cuba communist government want to maintain power maybe they should do a shift in their constitution to stay relevant. No matter how much you rig the rules in your favour you still gotta do what your people want so they are happy and means less chance of your government been overthrown
The Cuban people have a reputation for being highly educated but it's all lies. Cuba earned most of its money through fraud, leasing "doctors" with less medical knowledge than first year American medical students to countries throughout south America and Africa and also to some Asian countries. Reforming the government to be more honest will eliminate half of the country's income and most of its political influence including its close ties and mercenaries in Venezuela (which are how and why it gets its oil from there). You're blind to how different Americans are to other populations. Cuba's problems are vastly larger than a government. America thrives without Federal fascism. Cuba has never had a prosperous or independence-capable population. @@electro_sykes
I remember when this happened in 2021 and AOC downplayed the whole thing. The cost of meat is very expensive like nearly a third of monthly pay wage. Cows and other animals are regulated and is forbidden to slaughter them unless the government allows it. Maybe the US military can topple this regime cause nothing else has worked. I still have family members living there and they try NOT to say anything in fear. My grandfather came to the states in the 40s was brought back to Cuba under doobius circumstances (family nonsense). He was stuck there until 64. He couldn't get out even though he earned US citizenship too. Castro's goons thought he was a spy cause he was a photographer so the last 2+ years was very hard. He wouldn't talk about anything from there and still was afraid decades later. I fooled him into believeing I knew more than I did and then he spilt the beans to me alone and kept his secrets until after his death. He built another life there including another wife and son cause he thought he'd never come back stateside. My grandmother had suspicions and my dad was floored when he found out about a half brother and a bit upset I held on to those secrets from him at least. Sorry to get off topic there. Thought I'd share.
There have always been lots of white cubans and black cubans.. that woman trying to generalize what the cuban population looks like, just change it to a racial conflict is really low and unacceptable! As someone with many cuban family members that none of them where black and have also been victims of the regime.
Yes, quit playing the racism card folks. Read, Discrimination and Disparities", Thomas Sowell.

I agree. Race is not the problem. The United States could help, we have a military prison on the island. Yet we have a trade embargo on them.I grew up in Miami, If the country is ever liberated from communism, I believe many Cubans would return home. 😮
The Latinos run everything in Cuba. Blacks are second-class citizens politically and otherwise. "It is by now a well-known story: Racial inequality has increased in Cuba since the 1990s. It is also well-known that different forms of racial discrimination in employment, particularly in the so-called emergent economy (tourism and joint-venture firms), have proliferated during the same period and are partly responsible for the widening racial income gap that has come to characterize Cuban society.

Castro ordered the local militia to put a stop to it violently. The local militia knew the protesters. They were not going shoot at their neighbors, friends and famliy so they stood there and watched. Castro was beyond pissed at this point. He was especially mad at Hubert Matos, who was in charge. (revolutionary figure and in Castros inner circle) He sent in select Cuban troops from the western side of the island,(Havana basically). On the 4th day of protesting, they opened fire on the protesters. Some were killed. My dad was arrested and beaten despite not being involved . This goon army sent there detained a mass amount of people just for being in the area.

For sure, except that they are unarmed and the regime and criminals in power have decades of spies and agents via the Cuban embassies throughout the world making deals with governments to do business w the regime which has does not benefit the people. In other words the regime uses the poor people as an excuse to receive donations and gifts which never arrive to the people. These agents make politician friends which soften policies towards them. So it’s a huge system of keeping the prison island in chains. I would say they need some help from the international community.

Very bad in Cuba. Resorts are a joke, 4 k for 2 people, run down, no food, no toilet paper, they cut dinner napkins in half. No fruit no vegetables. Eggs mix with flour. Friend went 2 weeks ago.
The reason most Cubans on the island are black and mulatto is because most of the whites left long ago. Take a look at pictures of Havana before 1959 and you'll see the vast majority of people in the streets are white .
Both Pierre and Justin have pulled many scams on the citizens of Canada and have enriched themselves enormously. His mentally-ill and out-of-control mother also did damage to our country.

Sanctions? What is that Leftie Aussie Professor talking about? Yes, there have been US sanctions, which as an American I feel should have been done away with 25 years ago. That said, Cuba can trade with, and does, almost every other nation in the world, including Canada, Mexico, African and European nations. Certainly, if Cuba, had leadership that cared more about how economies work than ideology Cubans would have plenty to eat. The US sanctions have absolutely nothing to do with the current crisis in Cuba. Cuba is the poster child for the failed Communist/Socialist State.
For 30 years they where the favorite child of USSR. They are poor because they don't produce anything, because Comunism doesnt function, it is a dictatorial, opressive and unequal ideology!
A MAJOR reason for the continued survival of the Cuban regime is the favoritism Cuban refugees receive when they arrive at the United States. They get instant admission and rights to stay and be employed. And this inturn means a large and continuing flow of dollars back to Cuba, one of the major sources of income for Cuba and one of the major reasons the regime continues to survive.

Funny how nobody in the comments even acknowledge the massive US embargo on Cuba. What is really the point of not only keeping the embargo but also making it worse? In the end this is just making a bad situation worse for regular cubans, who according to this video can't do much about it.
Saw videos and pictures of Cuba before Castro and the city’s were beautiful and vibrant now old, run down and neglected. The good news is that nothing ever stays the same and the people eventually revolt as history has shown us in the past. Time will tell 🙏
It's about time the Cubans are free from this regime, many Americans are grateful to the Cuban migrants who have demonstrated the role model of keeping a community happy and the social awareness to learn the hard lessons. We are sad to still see the Cubians face this real oppression and the most we can do is hard line tactics.
Me and my daughter were able to visit there in 2017 when President Obama opened up relations with them again. Many people were telling us they hope the relationship with the USA would continue. And they also were hoping the embargo would be lifted. Unfortunately when Trump was elected he cut our relationship off with them again. Such a sad situation. The Cuban people were amazing and we enjoyed our time there.

Cuba will ride this out. Only when a country's army turns on its rulers do regimes change. Remember the riots in Belarus, Iran. Both put down because the army stayed loyal.

Probably the biggest obstacle to getting rid of the Cuban regime has been the United States itself. The Cuban regime has generously allowed dissidents to emigrate to the United States since the inception of the regime, and the United States has generously accepted them by the million. In addition to that, money sent back to Cuba by those escapees have been a large factor in the continued survival of the regime.

Many people use it to "liberate" people, but it all ended up with authoritarianism, ex. Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, etc.
It's liberated millions from life.

I'm a bit surprised that Assoc. Prof. Amalia Dache couldn't just say that the Cuban political class is white. Regardless, this isn't a racial issue, it's a political issue called Socialism. The only thing that has ever been in abundance, in a Socialist or Communist country, is misery.

Cuba from the end of the Spanish American War of 1898 til 1959 never had rationing of any kind until the Communists under Fidel Castro took over.
Cuba was prosperous in the 1950s, had a positive immigration flow, and a higher per capita income than FRANCE! Then hurricane Castro hit and the bodies piled up.
@@david1952000 Yes literally! And that includes fellow revolutionaries who fought for him in the neighboring provinces. And Fidel Castro was far worse than General Batista who preceeded him.

@@luislaplume8261 unfortunately, it’s the same situation with Haiti as well. We have a beautiful island but the government suck the people dry. Economically we can’t get ahead because the government protect the elite and enable them to make more business while the little man suffer. We must fight and push forward for change. We can’t continue to live like this. My great, great grandfather was Cuban. I always wanted to visit the island but I never wanted to contribute to this government.
"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money."
Margaret Thatcher
Fulgencio Batista led a coup d'etat in 1952. It toppled a democratically elected government and initiated another dictatorship (one of many in the history of the Republic) Naturally, the middle class did not support Batista and supported the rebels in the mountains. When Castro entered Havana during the first weeks of January 1959 the entire island, less remnants of Batista supporters, idolized him as a liberator. I was a child in Havana at the time and remember the adulation of the masses on TV as he entered the city. Shortly after came the puppet trials televised live for the public. Individuals were sentenced to death for real or imagined political crimes. I remember those. I was 8 years old and remember the masses yelling "Paredon" on TV. I didn't even know what Paredon meant. I learned quick enough that it was the masses demanding the firing squad for individuals put on trial. The neighborhood committees were instituted shortly after. Each neighborhood had an assigned family charged with the task of spying and snitching on the residents. My parents sat us down and told us that we must not repeat anything that was said in our home to any one. This instilled fear in our child minds, fear that our parents could be arrested and our family destroyed. It was shortly after my father's business (a business that he built from scratch through sweat equity) was nationalized, when we left the island during 1960. Over 100,000 other members of the middle class who did not approve of the regime left during or shortly after our departure. In Miami, we sought political asylum in the US. The US took us in and adopted us as its own. We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to start over, and have always been thankful to our adopted country. This is the communism at work at its beginning as seen through the eyes of an 8-9 year old child. The situation on the island got progressively worse throughout the years. I consider myself lucky that my parents had the forethought to take us out of there to a place free of oppression where we could grow up with freedom of speech and of mind.
you only care about the actual well-being of the middle class, not the entire nation
@@cptprice111 Lol... the middle class makes the nation. The larger it is the happier the people are. Those who are poor get help and do not stay poor forever,. There is upward mobility in first world nations. Communism is stale and stagnant everyone is poor and stays poor except for the governing communist elite. They always live well although they lead the masses to believe that they are equal. There is NO equality in communism just oppression poverty and misery. Communists want the people poor and hungry. If the masses have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, they won't spend too much time planning revolutions. That is the reality my friend.
@@cptprice111 It is the middle class that makes a nation prosper. The larger it is, the more opportunities for a high standard of living for the citizens. There is upward mobility in first world nations. The poor do not stay poor forever and there is always help from the government and/or charitable organizations to get the poor out of poverty. Communism on the other hand is stale and stagnant. Every one is poor except for the ruling elite and there is very little room at the top of the pyramid. The top brass always lives well. Some people are too ignorant to realize that the goal of the communist elite is not so much the well being of the citizens: it is rather to keep themselves in power. In order to achieve this they need to keep the "proletariat" poor and hungry. If people have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, they won't spend too much time planning revolutions. Communism breeds poverty, oppression, corruption and misery. There must have been a reason why all of Eastern Europe shook itself off of communism back in 1989 and later Russia in 1991. Ask an average Russian, Pole or Bulgarian if they would like to live under communism again. We all know what their answer would be. That is the reality of the matter.
Thanks for your valuable perspective.
But democracy in Cuba has the risk of USA infiltration

This is why you never let the government take away your second amendment gun rights like they did in Australia and Cuba
We in Aus never had a second amendment. Gun laws are tight but workable and basically sensible
But we still must be vigilant 👍

@@kathcasey2090 That's not really an argument, as there are countries with high gun ownership such as the Czech republic and Switzerland that don't have those issues. The problem isn't guns it's the mental health of the population. Gun crime was on the way down during the time of port Arthur, and the trajectory didn't speed up when we enacted the new laws. Essentially, all evidence points to it not really making us any safer than if nothing was done. Even gun crime has fallen overall in the US

Growing up in Cuba for the first 14 years of my life I never ever heard the race card. race or skin color was never even a thought, for her to point out that the people in power are like the wall behind her it is ridiculous. She has being brain wash. We CUBANS proud our self in defining us as CUBANS not afro cuban or white cuban.
Yes, I found it odd that she played the race card and blamed white people governing Cuba. I doubt highly that white people are controlling the Government or have anything to do with the Castro families Cuba.
In Spanish cultures we call it elitism. Hispanics come in all colors and yes my grandfather's family were from what I was told elitists cause they were white or should I say not black.
Exactly, i don't know why she tossed that in there so casually. You can already tell she never lived in Cuba. We are Cubans, not white or black lol. Todos sufren lo mismo.
She's American. "Race" and "abusive husband" should indicate how she perceives the world. What she would not admit is weak governments cannot feed people either.
@@yo2trader539 agreed. It's an oddly American thing. I HATE the fact that Americans bring up race and skin color no matter what the topic is. Makes us sound so fucking stupid.

The Cuban people have a reputation for being highly educated but it's all lies. Cuba earned most of its money through fraud, leasing "doctors" with less medical knowledge than first year American medical students to countries throughout south America and Africa and also to some Asian countries. Reforming the government to be more honest will eliminate half of the country's income and most of its political influence including its close ties and mercenaries in Venezuela (which are how and why it gets its oil from there). You're blind to how different Americans are to other populations. Cuba's problems are vastly larger than a government. America thrives without Federal fascism. Cuba has never had a prosperous or independence-capable population. @@electro_sykes

I remember when this happened in 2021 and AOC downplayed the whole thing. The cost of meat is very expensive like nearly a third of monthly pay wage. Cows and other animals are regulated and is forbidden to slaughter them unless the government allows it. Maybe the US military can topple this regime cause nothing else has worked. I still have family members living there and they try NOT to say anything in fear. My grandfather came to the states in the 40s was brought back to Cuba under doobius circumstances (family nonsense). He was stuck there until 64. He couldn't get out even though he earned US citizenship too. Castro's goons thought he was a spy cause he was a photographer so the last 2+ years was very hard. He wouldn't talk about anything from there and still was afraid decades later. I fooled him into believeing I knew more than I did and then he spilt the beans to me alone and kept his secrets until after his death. He built another life there including another wife and son cause he thought he'd never come back stateside. My grandmother had suspicions and my dad was floored when he found out about a half brother and a bit upset I held on to those secrets from him at least. Sorry to get off topic there. Thought I'd share.
There have always been lots of white cubans and black cubans.. that woman trying to generalize what the cuban population looks like, just change it to a racial conflict is really low and unacceptable! As someone with many cuban family members that none of them where black and have also been victims of the regime.
Most of the whites left the island when Fidel came in. The poor, back and white stayed there.
Yes, quit playing the racism card folks. Read, Discrimination and Disparities", Thomas Sowell.

Very bad in Cuba. Resorts are a joke, 4 k for 2 people, run down, no food, no toilet paper, they cut dinner napkins in half. No fruit no vegetables. Eggs mix with flour. Friend went 2 weeks ago.
Communism and dictatorship extremists, are worse thing can happen to any country.

“The color of the wall behind me”, 🤦🏽♂️ I’ve never seen a human that color.
She fails to say that 65 percent of the Cubans are white and only 25 percent are of African descent.
This is not a skin color issue
@@johnortiz566The Cuban government has been credibly said to over-report the white population percentage. Perhaps to deal with this exact criticism.
The reason most Cubans on the island are black and mulatto is because most of the whites left long ago. Take a look at pictures of Havana before 1959 and you'll see the vast majority of people in the streets are white .
Trudeau's father has a lot to answer for! So does Trudeau for that matter
Cannot believe I got caught up in trudeumania when I was young!
Well Fidel Castro is dead so he wont talk
You do know that Kool-Aid doesn't give you wings right?
Both Pierre and Justin have pulled many scams on the citizens of Canada and have enriched themselves enormously. His mentally-ill and out-of-control mother also did damage to our country. She was an embarrassment to our country with her many antics, especially with her involvement with Castro. That story has been heavily censored. Sometimes I think the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
The younger Castro, I mean Trudeau, is trying to turn Canada into another communist dictatorship.
Why does she makes it about race? She says the majority of the Cuban people don't look the leaders, but the 2012 Cuban census says 64.1% white, 26.6% mixed. Raul was rumored to be half Asian. Criticizing people based on their race is racist, no matter what race they are.
Shes an idiot
Because colorism is a big thing in the Caribbean.
Mixed people hate themselves and are bitter
Correct Michael
That's because she is against racists by being one. Quite typical for US university woke brigade to make it all about themselves where they are just so virtuous about racism to the extent they have to invent it so they can advertise their virtue.
Show this to Americans... college students are praising this regime... polically, these kids want this... they need to struggle so they can appreciate what they have
How the people can stand living under this govt. is beyond me.
Yes, why not use the race argument, soon Cuba will be as well managed as Haiti.
Exactly.
Yes but in Cuba they never practiced TRUE Communism you know.
Like you practice true stupidity?
There is no true communism. It's just an intellectual fantasy in John Lennon's head. Reality is dictators, mass murder, refugees fleeing, and economic ruin. Megalomaniacs after total power pushing Marxism like lethal religious dogma.
Hey look everybody, its that Communism thing that has never been achieved before.

That's always the case with communist countries.
Cuba and Venezuela are such model examples of how well communism works. :)
'Oh whoops! We made a mistake, Cuba was never ACTUALLY communist like we thought.' - Backpedalling leftists.
I think the lack of democracy and the monarchal totalitarian regimes are a bigger problem.
No , its how USSA destroys countries that don't comply !
Educate yourself man .
In fact there is not communism but socialism 😅
Actually all countries that have been under Socialism have been a disaster.
Sanctions? What is that Leftie Aussie Professor talking about? Yes, there have been US sanctions, which as an American I feel should have been done away with 25 years ago. That said, Cuba can trade with, and does, almost every other nation in the world, including Canada, Mexico, African and European nations. Certainly, if Cuba, had leadership that cared more about how economies work than ideology Cubans would have plenty to eat. The US sanctions have absolutely nothing to do with the current crisis in Cuba. Cuba is the poster child for the failed Communist/Socialist State.
And Argentina, and Venezuela.
For 30 years they where the favorite child of USSR. They are poor because they don't produce anything, because Comunism doesnt function, it is a dictatorial, opressive and unequal ideology!
A MAJOR reason for the continued survival of the Cuban regime is the favoritism Cuban refugees receive when they arrive at the United States. They get instant admission and rights to stay and be employed. And this inturn means a large and continuing flow of dollars back to Cuba, one of the major sources of income for Cuba and one of the major reasons the regime continues to survive.
no they dont your buddy Trump put embargos on Cuba a few years ago now they dont get anythign form those countries as DOnald Trump said if you do business wiht Cuba the Usa wont do business wiht you..this is all Trumps doing

We should send AOC to Cuba to explain to them that they really live in a communist paradise. Then, cancel her passport.

Oh yes thank you I hope they do cancel her passport or whatever the hell she is... And send her to that rat hole

@@quisqueyanguy120What does that have to do with this video?
Cuba with its rich culture of the best music in the world: salsa, bolero, changui, food, beautiful people, beautiful land for tourism etc.... has nothing a single thing to do with rotten communism - it's not fair they've been stuck with this sh8 government for so long suppressing their freedom. I pray for them to stay steadfast and not give up fighting, the price will be high, but freedom doesn't come for free.
In the meantime, the news outlets here in the U.S. reporting on Cuba: crickets
Of course... US is now a socialist country 🤷♂️
Biden is to busy importing criminals from Venezuela
Cubans looking at Hawaii playing tropicana realising communism sold them out. The potential of paradise is there people shouldnt be forced to die for a democratic process diplomatic intervention should be proceeded
@CriticalThinker-Lad Unfortunately, I am from a communist country where the left will not give up power unless they are forcefully removed. And, yes, people will die in the process.
Because the story is dubious.
60+ years of stupidity....nothing new.
...and corruption and oppression. Don't forget these enviable qualities.
it's not the type of emigration Biden's administration support, it's inconvenient truth
I imagine they'd be doing a lot better if we didn't have the embargo.
Cuba received FREE money from the Soviets for decades. Then Venezuela did the same thing just piss the United States off. Nothing changed. The thugs on the top live well, while everyone else has to struggle. If the Cuban people want change, they have to bring this about themselves. If another country gets involved, then they will blame that other country for all their problems. THEY chose this system, they have to get rid of it.
Remember when the people were shouting Libertad in 1959 and Castro was promising them the moon? I feel so badly for them.
Do not underestimate the influence of the sanctions imposed by the USA government. But I agree with different government Cuba could live better.
Totalitarians always pull on the heartstrings, what ever they my be. While they silently gain control and power and de-arm anyone that would fight using law-fare to hem in the people. Same play been used for centuries, just change the name of the idiots in charge. The USA and French revolutions did throw a big monkey wrench into things. The French lost their gains early, the USA kept ours for a while but they have been severely eroded by WEF supporters and communists/socialist salami slicing. Their problem is people are on to them now….and the people are pissed. Even Japan knew better.
But yet so many believe that socialism is a miracle.
It's a miracle that people believe that. 😂

I've noticed that Radio Havana Cuba's transmitter on 6000 kHz has been having problems for months. It always has distorted audio, sometimes so bad speech is unintelligible, one evening it was making a continuous flapping sound. Apparently they can't get any new tubes and other parts from Moscow.
I would like to thank Sky News for this report. In America as you know, this is not reported. I hope you will continue to keep the United States informed as the news doesn't share this with it's people because everything is TDS Trump Derangement Syndrome.
You would think we would be allowed to hear about this in the major US mainstream media.
How about Canada with all the media being state run?
Hear what?
Funny how nobody in the comments even acknowledge the massive US embargo on Cuba. What is really the point of not only keeping the embargo but also making it worse? In the end this is just making a bad situation worse for regular cubans, who according to this video can't do much about it.
When people are hungry, there is a revolution brewing.
Not if you are too weak from hunger and have no weapons.
Americans should watch this and learn.
Canada under Trudeau is getting closer and closer to Cuba
Saw videos and pictures of Cuba before Castro and the city’s were beautiful and vibrant now old, run down and neglected. The good news is that nothing ever stays the same and the people eventually revolt as history has shown us in the past. Time will tell 🙏
It's about time the Cubans are free from this regime, many Americans are grateful to the Cuban migrants who have demonstrated the role model of keeping a community happy and the social awareness to learn the hard lessons. We are sad to still see the Cubians face this real oppression and the most we can do is hard line tactics.
Me and my daughter were able to visit there in 2017 when President Obama opened up relations with them again. Many people were telling us they hope the relationship with the USA would continue. And they also were hoping the embargo would be lifted. Unfortunately when Trump was elected he cut our relationship off with them again. Such a sad situation. The Cuban people were amazing and we enjoyed our time there.
I understand the Cubans who don't want to leave their country - but have to because of their bad politicians, who steer the country in the wrong direction.. I feel the same hopelessness as a citizens in Sweden
Hope Cuba doesn’t turn into a “Haiti” during the collapse.🙏

Cuba will ride this out. Only when a country's army turns on its rulers do regimes change. Remember the riots in Belarus, Iran. Both put down because the army stayed loyal.
It's true, you can pretty much tell a revolution success by whether or not the Army joins.
We'll just have to wait and see. It has happened before where the Army got sick of suppression.
Romania I think the only nation that overthrew their communist regime because the military sided with the people.

cuba people against communist goverment
According to skye.....
Probably the biggest obstacle to getting rid of the Cuban regime has been the United States itself.
The Cuban regime has generously allowed dissidents to emigrate to the United States since the inception of the regime, and the United States has generously accepted them by the million.
In addition to that, money sent back to Cuba by those escapees have been a large factor in the continued survival of the regime.
I spend thousands of dollars yearly to help my family with food, medicine, cellulars and clothing. I never understand what the international community calls an "Embargo"..Banks don't give them credit because they don't pay back. That's all.

that harms Cuban people but does not effect changes
It feels satisfying to US Americans
but is really a lose-lose strategy

I don't know what she is talking about with that comment that implies that the white cubans are in charge and supported this system.

Not sure why she even mentions that when the problem is that ideology and not race.
My sentiments exactly.
My father, a white Cuban, was one of those that left Cuba
