    Am Cuban, can confirm. Americans believe so much bullshit propaganda about our country. We have been suffering the 42 years I’ve been alive. Members of my family escaped to the US by any means necessary over the years. It’s the kind of hell you risk anything to escape!

      You realize the rest of the world has been able to freely travel to Cuba and come back safe and sound since the 60s, right? Like…

      We have been suffering the 42 years I’ve been alive […] It’s the kind of hell you risk anything to escape!

      ??? How the fuck do 4.7 million people visit/year on cruise ships and air planes if Cuba is suffering? I know many Canadian-Cubans that visit family and have families that visit Canada no problem.

      Americans believe so much bullshit propaganda about our country

      Yeah, and you’re literally one of them lmao

        That’s a rather weak argument. Rich people travel to plenty of dangerous places. Those places typically then develop high class resorts with security to attend to them

        Don’t mistake my comment to be saying the US is right about Cuba. It absolutely isn’t. I just don’t think “people travel there” is much of an indicator of anything
