Well, Cubans still live in pretty close proximity to squalor. They can't even afford to maintain their own buildings, don't have a functional transportation system, and people live on what, $20 a month? The one saving grace is out there health care system is decent. And by that, I mean much more equitable than in the United States.

Theyre also a small island nation which has survived 60 years of brutal siege and sabotage by the imperial core 70 miles away.

Do you think that US actions against Cuba such as sanctions and blockades is part of the reason Cuba is a poor country?

And if yes, to what extent?
