How's Communism Work? Like This: Cuba Goes Dark As Island Nation Hit With Massive Blackout
It’s only 90 miles off the coast of Florida, but it’s a whole different world down in communist Cuba than it is here in the United States.
As the U.S. has ratcheted up economic pressure with punishing sanctions and as the DOJ indicted
the late dictator Fidel Castro’s 95-year-old brother Raúl in May for
the 1996 killings of four Americans, the island nation has been feeling
the heat.
On Monday, they suffered a total blackout, leaving millions of people without power:
BREAKING: Cuba has been hit by another island-wide blackout, leaving roughly 10 million people without power.
Officials
say the cause is under investigation as the country's aging electric
grid continues to struggle and fuel reserves run low.
It's the
second nationwide blackout this year, with hospitals and critical
services among those impacted as Cuba faces an ongoing energy crisis.
Grid operator UNE said it was investigating the cause of the nationwide blackout.
Cuba
has for months suffered from hours-long, and more recently, days-long
power outages linked in part to a decrepit grid and a U.S. imposed oil
blockade that has cut off the island's fuel supply.
It’s an especially bad time for this to happen for citizens, because we’re right at the height of summer.
The
nationwide outage is more bad news for Cubans already exhausted from
rolling blackouts that make it impossible for many to work or sleep in
the Caribbean summer heat.
Cuba has frequently struggled to keep
the lights on during a years-long economic crisis but the Communist-run
government has entered unprecedented territory under increased pressure
from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Nearly two-thirds of the country was already without power when the grid collapsed on Monday.
Cameron Arcand, Senior Washington Correspondent over at our sister site Townhall, reports on the response from the White House:
As the democrat socialists are increasingly taking over the Democratic Party,
it’s a stark reminder to those blithering communist idiots like NYC
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
socialism and communism have been tried, they've never worked, and they
suck.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Almost ALL of Communist Cuba is WITHOUT POWER, more than 10 million people are suffering and furious
Officials are PANICKING trying to get the island back online
This is why President Trump has made clear communism can never be allowed to win in America.
Surgeries are being canceled, hospitals are desperate.
Cuba's
energy infrastructure is crumbling into the ground, fuel supplies are
dwindling, and the regime has NO CLUE how to fix any of it.
DOWN WITH COMMUNISM!
Editor’s Note: New York City is now facing the consequences of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist takeover.
