As you know our liberal millionaires went on a trip to cuba to highlight their suffering. Cuba worked once because the USSR poured so much resources into it due to its location that it was a net oil exporter.
That day is gone.
If Hasan and co truly care about the cuban people they would tell them to go into the us sphere of influence and be prosperous. But the Cubanz are not their primary concern. Resistance against the us is. So they encourage the Cubans and then go home to their mansions while the Cubans continue to suffer.
