@soberaim@todon.nl @Miro_Collas@masto.ai Let's clarify something here - I'm not talking at all about Venezuela. I'm against Trump's kidnapping of Maduro and the takeover of oil and control. But I'm not going to defend Maduro against charges of repression. But I don't think Cuba is the same story. Sure, I wouldn't mind a Norway situation in the US or #Cuba. It would be better than Trump or the Democrats. Cuba CANNOT be like Norway because the US has been choking it for 65 years. Even if the management of the economy was ideal, I don't think prosperity would be possible with all of the #sanctions, which increase by the day. And that unrelenting pressure has a big effect on the political atmosphere. It makes it much harder to raise criticisms when Uncle Sam is supporting "dissidents" and other counter-revolutionaries.
