Here’s What TV News Isn’t Telling You About Cuba’s Collapse! (Jimmy Dore)

Despite mainstream media efforts to obscure the issue, worsening blackouts, fuel shortages, and humanitarian conditions in Cuba are the direct result of intensified U.S. sanctions under President Donald Trump, including threats of tariffs on countries that supply oil to the island. Jimmy describes these measures as collective punishment aimed at collapsing Cuba’s government, comparing them to past U.S. actions in Iran and Venezuela and accusing corporate media of omitting the role of the long-standing embargo.

Jimmy draws parallels between U.S. policy toward Cuba and Israel’s siege of Gaza, claiming both represent deliberate economic warfare against civilian populations. The episode concludes by describing a history of CIA propaganda against Cuba, asserting that economic pressure—not internal policy failures—is primarily responsible for the country’s current crisis.
