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.

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.

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.

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?

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

The American government.

We make the distinction between the CCP and China.

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

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

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.

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.

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