    Even the US is supplying aid to Cuba. It’s not aid Cuba is missing. It’s fuel.

    Unless we send fuel, we’re basically going along with the US, providing basic aid that will be utterly inadequate to deal with the real crisis of an economy being brought to a full stop by a blockade on fuel and financial sanctions.

      In January they were short on medicine, I donated some through a local effort. Fuel is the main thing Cuba needs, but not the only thing, every little bit helps I’d think. The Cuba flotilla doesn’t have fuel onboard, that doesn’t mean they are going along with US sanctions.

      I don’t think we bear the brunt of it lol, in fact we’re a willing participant when it suits us. Today it’s Cuba bearing the brunt.
