British newspaper The Telegraph is blaming the collapse of Castro, Inc.’s tourist industry on U.S. policies, especially Cuba’s “desperately unfair” listing as a state sponsor of terror. The headline above is taken straight from The Telegraph.

Good luck finding any other reason for this collapse in the article below, other than “ugly headlines” (also the fault of the U.S.) Covid had nothing to do with it. Extreme repression of natives had nothing to do with it. Shortages of food, water, fuel, electricity, medicines, and just about everything else had nothing to do with it.

And –especially — the quality of the tourist ‘experience’ had nothing to do with it, such as exploding hotels, crappy resorts, dirty roach-infested hotel rooms, bad food, tropical mosquito-borne illnesses, and utterly depressing cities and towns filled with gigantic piles of stinking garbage.

[And the fact that tourists might have finally realized that they were propping up a morally repugnant regime and contributing to the oppression of the Cuban people. If America has anything to do with THAT revelation, I’d be glad to take credit for it. — Ed]
