    So what do countries need to get that food then? And what is stopping them from getting it? Couldn’t it be that inhumane sanctions are causing a financial disaster and by extension people can’t afford to import the things they need?

      In Cuba, the state buys the commodities and provides them to the people. The people get ration books that allows them to obtain various goods. For milk, I think the rule is that nobody over 7 gets any. Communist countries aren’t very good at planning for these kind of things. Remember when Venezuela ran out of toilet paper? So, the answer to your question is perhaps budget correctly, not spend as much on their military etc, and purchase milk instead.

              Can’t answer yourself? Just something that blames the lack of money? That’s inhumane? I’ve been to most Caribbean countries, and none of them are wealthy.

              I think it’s amazing to see peole blame the US for Cuba’s problems.

                Can’t read for yourself?

                Would it help if I read out to you the three paragraphs I linked or what?

                I’ve been to most Caribbean countries, and none of them are wealthy.

                Well, guess what having no sanctions forced upon you does to you. It’s not like this is even a discussion. Just follow the UN reports on the sanctions imposed on Cuba lol

                    Those are big words from someone who’d rather go on an ad hominem attack instead of addressing the sources I just sent your way.
