Mainstream news describe the economic situation is Cuba as extreme, see for example, this article by CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/22/americas/cuba-crisis-energy-economy-intl-latam

Is that true? How to get a realistic account of the current situation in Cuba? Is United States blockade getting worse?

Edit. Added a mainstream source and re-stated my question in a more neutral tone.

As a general rule, never trust Liberal news for anything.

    Never trust news from a single source/political sphere, no.

    That sounds good in theory, but keep in mind that 99% of English-language news sources are liberal ones.

    From a political science perspective (and for most people outside the USA), most of the US has liberalist ideology, including Republican voters. The electoral system is called a liberal democracy. The country rallying cry is for "freedom"; liberty.

    US mass media simply started calling progressive liberalism "liberalism", conservative liberalism "conservativism", and classical liberalism "libertarianism". It's silly and confusing, but it's the world we're in right now.

    Yeah you got me, I misunderstood the post. I just wanna see the entire GOP swinging from a tree then I'll worry about the fuckin pussy libs. In my eyes that what happened last election, other than elon owning the company that counts the votes. I'd prefer to get rid of extremists first, then I'll deal with that lump of wasted votes. In any case, eat the wealthy, skull fuck the gop, drink from their skulls

    Most of the people on Lemmy that hate on liberals are leftists. That's why you see a lot of solidarity and support for Cuba here, there are a ton of communists this side of Lemmy in particular.
