Of course, Cuba is completely blameless. A dilapidated infrastructure is nobody's fault but their own.

" Yep. After all those years they should have found a way around those US sanctions.

Sanctions or not, they were never going to upgrade their infrastructure. But yeah, it's always someone else's fault.

It's a Communist country. They lack the funds to upgrade their infrastructure.

I always get a kick as to how much lefties love Communism. Y'all remember when Obama normalized relations with Cuba? Nothing changed.

" OMG Obama normalized relations with Cuba. What a terrible thing to do.

I didn't say it was a terrible thing to do. At the time I didn't have a problem with it. 50 years of doing the same thing with the same lousy results. Nothing wrong with trying a different approach.

" The Texas grid collapsed in 2020 and killed hundred of people. They froze to death."

That's like blaming the lack of infrastructure in a Southern coastal state after a Cat 4 hurricane knocks out the grid. It was an extreme weather event.

" Yeah you just mocked the concept of normalizing relations"

No, I didn't. I said even after normalizing relations nothing changed in Cuba. You people need to learn how to read.

How many times in the last 5 decades has the Texas grid been knocked out like that, for that duration, due to extreme weather. And you are awfully selective about weather related deaths. Mamdani refused to sweep homeless encampments because doing so he deemed would be mean. Then, we had a major cold snap and over a dozen froze to death and nobody on the left even batted an eye.

" Expecting radical change after 50 years of embargo when the embargo remains, all in 18 months, clearly shows you do not respect that diplomatic effort"

I didnt expect radical change, you blithering idiot. I didn't expect anything. I was hoping for a modicum of change and that didn't even happen. Nothing changed.

" Is this where you pretend to care about homeless people?"

I've walked the streets and fed the homeless, through a church group, in January on numerous occasions. I've walked the walk. You? You giggle when your dad slaps your mom around.

Yet they are mounting pontoons to 50's era cars, risking their lives to try and escape via a 90 mile sail to the US hoping to hit land without being intercepted by the Coast Guard to take advantage of our wet feet' policy.

This is not directed at you personally - for as horrible as lefties say this country is - irredeemably racist, evil capitalism, colonialism living on stolen land, etc, etc it's amazing the lengths people will go to trying to come here leaving a Communist paradise with a great healthcare system' like Cuba.
