1. Call obama or jay z

2. Wait I thought communism works??

3. Where's russia oil when needed or china 😂😂 what a communist country 😂😂

4. Our country has taken in Cubans for 70 years, half of my college professors were Cubans in Miami.

5. The country may be poor , but they have pride , just look at how clean the city streets are.

6. Communist paradise 😂 Very environmentally friendly 😅😂

7. What really caused the massive black out in Cuba?Low water levels or just something else?

8. So much for hosting the Russians. They stole their power to charge their subs. LOL

9. The criminals Castro's destroyed that country totally in 65! Years

10. Sounds like an opportunity for Cuba to update its electrical grid. Sounds like it can't get any worse.

11. Cuba can't update anything, their national gross product is less than they consume. Their rating is so low they can't afford to borrow the money. If it wasn't for Russia they would be in even worse shape than they are now.

12. Soon to be the US if Kamala is president

13. I'm sure bernie sanders will find something positive to say about this

14. Isn't communism the best system! 🙄

15. This is just one of the benefits of having an advanced Communist or socialist government looking after your welfare.

16. Had the US got rid of Castro 60 or so years ago, Cuba would probably be much better off. JFK made a tragic mistake.

17. Call Madero, LOL LOL LOL

18. Cuba can buy and sale to 199 countries . In this world the blockage they say they have doesn't exist they even buy from us food and medicine.whY ???? They do that??? If most countries have what' they buy from us going back to the beginning they don't sale or buy from 199 countries because Cuba is totally broke . Broke Economically period the Castro's broke that country in 64

19. Poor people 😢

20. Communism can be enlightening…er…never mind.

21. Are they still running diesel generators? 😂

22. Proof that communist infrastructures don't work.

23. Russia or China prob shut it off to charge them to fix it

24. Cuba needs to use the swamp land at the lower tip for a nuclear power plant instead of planting rice and invite other countries to invest in more resorts so they can begin to rebuild it's tourist industry and infrastructure.

25. Looking at the streets there is like seeing into the past.

26. A buddy visited Cuba recently as part of a humanitarian aid tour group. His mind was blown almost out of his skull at the level of destitution that is the norm there. He is in his 50s and never traveled outside the country much, so he was shocked. He said it makes Puerto Rico look like Dubai by comparison. US has never forgiven Cuba for 1962, and the Cuban government has never shown any interest in apologizing, so they live in a 60-year old economic black hole by choice.

27. About a year ago, they had a fire that burned up all of their fuel reserves so they had no power for awhile but now their generators are beyond repair. Not sure which country will step up and float them a loan but I'm sure a deal will be worked out.

28. This is what the likes of AOC wants for us in the United States. For us but of course not for herself. I’m sure the big wigs in Cuba have electricity.

29. Just wait, we are next

30. Wonder what they are doing there now that is not supposed to be seen by anyone. War preparations against the US by Russia ???

31. Coming to a country near you

32. They need to make investments in solar power. It is warm and sunny there. Also a change of government? Cubans need to organize and fight back against the corruption and ineptitude. It has to come from them.

33. It’s called socialism…embrace it

34. Maybe they can ask russia for help? 😂

35. ,,,,,AND HARRIS WANTS COMMUNISM HERE IN OUR NATION…👀

36. Communism always fails always

37. Cuba really needs the sanctions against it removed, Focus on China Russia & Iran!

38. Wow!😢
