Cuba is struggling with devastating nationwide blackouts as the United States’ effective oil blockade strangles fuel supplies. But this crisis may also be accelerating a China-backed clean energy revolution that’s been quietly unfolding in the Caribbean nation.

    China is all over the Caribbean. They are doing everything the US should be doing, but instead we’re busy fucking everyone over in petty, wasteful, useless power plays.

    Soon Cuban engineers will be sent on humanitarian missions to other countries to help them with their renewable energy roll-outs.

        The entire world could be quickly transformed into a utopia if all billionaires and trillionaires suddenly went 100% altruistic.

    The fuck did anyone think was gonna happen? Use, abuse, and then ghost your allies and sooner than ya think: they’re taking the same from your enemies, but with a smile on.

      Cuba has never been an ally with the United States

        There was that time that the US fought a war with Spain to liberate Cuba from imperialism.

        They were allies for some days during that.

        And to put a finer point on it, the United States only ever considered Cuba either a threat or a resource rather than an ally.

    Good on them. Hope other countries follow suit as well.
