Cuba Powerless & Broken - Joe Blogs



In this video I provide an update on the situation in CUBA which is now suffering from Nationwide Blackouts. Cuba is in a state of ECONOMIC COLLAPSE and cannot afford to buy enough fuel to keep the country's lights on. The electricity grid is powered by OIL as a result of the fact that Cuba was receiving free Oil from the Soviet Union in the 60's, 70's and 80's. The grid is now old a decrepit and Cuba cannot afford to buy enough oil to keep the system running. No electricity means that businesses, schools and the healthcare system will not be able to open and that is only going to make the situation worse.

Maybe they should do something like “An Irish sweepstakes” to raise money?
