This is the correct move.

The days of global US hegemony are truly over, but that’s what happens when you have idiots in charge. The US was long overdue to be taken down a few pegs, though, and while I don’t think having any kind of massive global superpower is good for humanity, I’m interested to see what China does with that position. Strengthening its ties with Cuba is an interesting move, and it just goes to show how the Trump admin doesn’t understand how geopolitical chess works and that you can’t just bully your way into global power with the barrel of a gun.

Great to hear this is happening! Cubans deserve a basic quality of life and I am ashamed of the behavior of the US here.

Truly, why hasn't the US given up on trying to fuck over Cuba? It's been 60 years, it's not going to work. All it does is make the people suffer and hate the American government, for good reason.

It is naturally a lot harder to blockade the sun than ocean ports. This perfectly illustrates how solar power grants energy independence at almost any level.

I wonder what kind of interest rate the Chinese are charging the Cubans.

Imagine trying to economically punch Cuba in the dick, but ultimately just rapidly accelerating Cuba’s green energy infrastructure and helping them achieve nominal energy independence.

Thanks, China. I hope you’ll that ends the crisis.
