And BTW is not the 10% only, is around the 20%, close to 2 million cuban's has left in this last 2 years. Everyone is escaping that sinking ship. The government is fully militarized and even complaining about your kid's food can land you in jail for 10 years.

Given the low birth rate of cuba, it's going to create a havoc in the age pyramid. How can a country survive this kind of change?

It can't, the nation is nothing without its people.

You either use violence or you wait for them to collapse on their own.

Go to Cuba, you'll see why that take is absolutely silly.

Going to Cuba and talking to the Cubans made me realize how ridiculous American opinions on Cuba are. They’re a wonderful people repressed by one of the world’s worst governments, and unlike, say, North Korea, they know it. They all have family in Florida. They are very aware of the outside world.

Indeed, despite efforts to keep them there. There is a reason a passport was impossible (now just very difficult) to get. The place would be empty.

The last dictator buisness model is always to demand exitfees from the hell on earth you unleashed.

> Cuba would be a great travel destination. It's been a while since I visited places outside the US, but one of the shocking things was travel ads for Cuba everywhere. From what I can tell, US-Cuban relations seem to be at the whim of the US President. Most of the US population doesn't care; most of the rest of the world has fine relations with Cuba, but isn't going to pressure the US. Nobody is sending missiles to C…

> most of the rest of the world has fine relations with Cuba Most of the rest of the world didn't get Soviet nuclear missiles pointed at them by Cuba.

Everyone in europe had to be fine with that for the whole cold war. Never understood the american hysterics during the cuban missile crisis. Like the END wasnt real before and after.Manifest destiny for exceptional Hipocrasy.

Why did the US drop 2 nuclear bombs on Japan? Why the US is keeping Israel as their toy? Why the US entered the Vietnam war (hint: no, not to avoid the spread of communism). US is the bad boy of this planet, just because they can.

But they did it to protect the planet. We need to enforce "democracy" and spread capitalism.

Hope you do get paid faster in rubles for agitating then the hyperinflation.

I am a British immigrant in Germany and I can vouch for how impossible it is to integrate into these northern European societies, if the rest are anything like Germany. I tick all the boxes of what German boomers would want in a "Good Immigrant" (white, educated, from western Europe, speaks German, good job), but it doesn't help. I think overall Germans, deep down, don't really want us here. We are here to pay for th…

I was blamed of being "too white" in the australian outback by british descendants. And quote "should go back to your country" which I would have done anyway.

E.g. https://features.csis.org/hiddenreach/china-cuba-spy-sigint/

Spy stations aren't at all close to the level of provocation that missile launcher would be - the former have been around for decades, the latter nearly caused WWIII about 62 years ago.

Absolutely, but they also represent more than just commercial cooperation.

This just does not seem plausible. Sure, I understand the claim that Cuban statistics are falsified because the Cuban government is obviously biased about whether "Cuba is good", but the claims about Cuban emigration are coming from groups that are very distinctly anti-Cuban themselves; why should I trust them to tell the truth about Cuba, particularly when lying about your enemies is incredibly effective, common, an…

The published figure of 10 million people is already outdated. First, they are official figures, which means that they are not telling the truth. Second, six months have elapsed; which means the actual number of residents is less than 9 million.
