Cuba rejects US embassy's 'shameless' request for diesel (opens in new tab)

Why has communism not destroyed that country?

Could it perhaps be the US embargo has been more effective at destroying that island? The US does over $150 billion in trade with Vietnam.

Your video link starts '¿Quien financió la revolución?'. Who funded the repressive dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, allowing fertile soils for the seeds of socialism to grow?

Hint: The US seems to prefer funding repressive dictatorships, so long as they support US economic and military interest over the interests of the people in their country. "Before the revolution, U.S. and other foreign investors dominated the Cuban economy, controlling 75% of arable land, 90% of essential services, and 40% of sugar production.", quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba.

"The corruption of the Government, the brutality of the police, the government's indifference to the needs of the people for education, medical care, housing, for social justice and economic justice ... is an open invitation to revolution." wrote Schlesinger, quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgencio_Batista .

Then the US, angry that its money maker (and playground for the rich) got taken away, decided take a moral high ground it didn't have before [1] and embargo Cuba.

Does the video address these parts of Cuba's complicated history?

[1] Fun story. I have relatives who lived in Cuba and left for Florida when Castro came to power. One was my aunt. She took a bus in the Tampa area in the early 1960s. A black person came on the bus. My aunt moved to the side to make room for the black person to sit. She was looked at funny, and the black person went to the back of the bus. Cuba under Batista didn't have American segregation laws. "Moral high ground" my ass.

The moral high ground would send oil to Cuba as humanitarian aid, as Mexico wants to do.
