#Cuba is compiling its annual list of grievances for a @UN vote on the U.S. embargo today. The reality is that Castro regime mismanagement is responsible for the flaws in Cuba’s economy. Follow our thread today/tomorrow as we explain the reality behind the embargo #EmbargoFacts
@UN Cuba claims its food & medical supply issues stem from the embargo. Newsflash! The embargo permits U.S. food, medicine, and medical devices to be exported to #Cuba- however, the regime chooses to import just a small fraction of the authorized goods. #EmbargoFacts #BloqueoInterno
@UN The U.S. has authorized $12 billion of food and agricultural exports to #Cuba since Jan 2018. Cuba chooses to import just 3% of those goods. Castro regime mismanagement, not U.S. sanctions, is responsible for Cuba food shortages. #EmbargoFacts #BloqueoInterno
#Cuba’s agricultural production has shrunk, while food imports have skyrocketed. Fertile, tropical Cuba now imports 70% of its food, without the means to pay for it. Castro regime mismanagement has damaged Cuba’s food security and created dependency #EmbargoFacts #BloqueoInterno
The U.S. exported $6.5 million of medicine & medical equipment to #Cuba in 2018. Much more was authorized, but as with food, the Cuban government chose not to import more. #BloqueoInterno
Instead, the Castro regime exploits Cuban medical professionals to fill its pockets by renting out its best and brightest 50,000 medical staff outside of Cuba while leaving Cubans with poor service & empty pharmacies. #FreeCuba #EmbargoFacts
The Castro regime built an economy hopelessly dependent on patrons (first Soviets, now Maduro), and repays stolen VZ oil with intel + repression tactics. Sanctions prevent U.S. dollars from supporting the Castro regime dictatorship. #Cubazuela
#Cuba’s military controls 50% of Cuban economy, and most tourism. The same military facilitates atrocities in #Venezuela today. U.S. sanctions prevent regime insiders from profiting personally thru this twisted economic model. The root problem: the Castro regime is corrupt.
