    Episodic blackouts are pretty common there but only outside of Havana. This looks to be nationwide.

        I'm no historian but I did listen to a podcast about this somewhat recently. The cutting off of Venezuelan and Mexican oil were some early steps needed. Seems like taking over Cuba would be somewhat easy but as always... the power vacuum... how to handle that, who the hell knows.

          What? Trump must be under pressure from NYC’s Five Families to reciprocate their favours so they can get their hotels and casinos back.

              Just Putin thumbing his nose (for the umpteenth time) at Trump over Cuba. That, and he wants to be mentioned in a Truth Social dispatch from the Mar-a-Lago Palace and bunker.

              Russia has dispatched two tankers carrying oil and gas to Cuba as the island grapples with a deepening energy crisis exacerbated by a U.S. oil blockade, the Financial Times reported Wednesday.

              The ships would be providing the Caribbean island nation with its first energy shipments in three months. Fuel shortages have pushed Cuba into one of its most severe economic crises in decades, with widespread blackouts and disruptions to basic services.

                Russian ships defying US blockade of Cuba. Now where have I seen that before?

                  What does the Iran debacle portend for Cuba?

                  Theory A: Trump is once bitten twice shy, doesn’t take any more chances with wars of choice.

                  Theory B: Trump needs a victory to heal his ego, like the bully who loses a fight and comes home and punches his wife.

                  I’m leaning toward B.

                      Cuba would seem to be an easier target. Isolated like Iran, but does not have the 'reach" like Iran, and other than exporting medical assistance to other third world countries, they don't have many (or any) things to hold hostage over the US.

                                I have heard that Cuba has been "stockpile" drones and would possibly use them against the US base in Cuba and also Florida.

                                  You’d think taking Cuba would be easy. So close, so beautiful.
