‘To play God’: Cuba’s healthcare system collapses under US pressure | Donald Trump News | Al Jazeera
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/longform/2026/7/30/to-play-god-cubas-healthcare-system-collapses-under-us-pressure
"The aim was to weaken Cuba's government, which Trump labelled a national security threat. Only one foreign oil tanker has reached Cuba in the months since.
...
The pressure has exacerbated strains on Cuba's healthcare system, once considered the flagship achievement of the country's 1959 revolution."

@soberaim@todon.nl @Peter_Link@expressional.social No one has suggested that the government of Cuba is perfect and ideal. However, if you think would be better under western capitalism, I think you're sadly mistaken. Same holds for Venezuela, which currently seems to be a puppet of the US.
