Mainstream news describe the economic situation is Cuba as extreme, see for example, this article by CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/22/americas/cuba-crisis-energy-economy-intl-latam
Is that true? How to get a realistic account of the current situation in Cuba? Is United States blockade getting worse?
Edit. Added a mainstream source and re-stated my question in a more neutral tone.
Never trust news from a single source/political sphere, no.
But my single source got his producer illegally arrested by the NSW gestapo and his house firebombed by criminal gangs. I’d say pissing off the powerful to that extent earns some trust.
Is your single source of news Boy Boy??
Jordan Shanks, but I also follow Boy Boy as of recently.
I believe a similar thing happened to Boy Boy after their laundering money in casinos thing actually.
I just considered them “firebombed by association”. Jordan’s collaboration with them can be interpreted as an endorsement, and I trust Jordan because he got firebombed.
That sounds good in theory, but keep in mind that 99% of English-language news sources are liberal ones.
Et alors, j’etudais Francaise! Attend…
There is a lot of left-leaning content available in French! They have a lot of scholars and thinkers who are openly leftists, and in Europe it will not scare anyone.
