Itβs insane how every headline is like βCubas power grid collapsesβ as if itβs something passively happening out of the blue. As if it isnβt the u.s. energy/oil blockade on Cuba causing this, as if it isnβt the u.s. cutting off Venezuelaβs oil exports to Cuba, threatening others w punishment should they provide support to Cuba. But no the power grids just randomly collapsing no agent no nothing according to these headlines and articles. & perhaps theyβll make the very astute observation that it seems like the u.s. created the conditions for this to happen (who wouldβve thought?) but only as an afterthought, sandwiched between two paragraphs about how disruptive and unfortunate and pitiful these blackouts are, with quotes cherry-picked to exploit the Cuban intervieweesβ pain while maintaining the myth that this is all happening in a vacuum and there is somehow no rightful resistance against the empire
