Show Notes
A Russian tanker, Anatoly Kolodin, docks in Cuba with a shipment of crude oil, but its not enough to end the islands energy crisis. The oil wont power the electricity plants and is just a temporary fix. Cuba is facing brutal fuel rationing, with gas sales capped at twenty liters per person and wait times stretching nine months. Public buses are empty, schools and jobs are on short hours, and everyday people are left in the dark. The U.S. let the tanker through under Trump, framing it as humanitarian aid, but its not enough to save Cuba or help Putin much. Cuban leaders are digging in and pushing back on U.S. demands for systemic change. As the oil trickles out over weeks, watch for more shipments or rising tensions.
