Somewhere in between. The law is called the helms-burton act and it’s pretty easy to circumvent. But Cuban beaucracy still gets in the way

You’ll usually get some Canadians who’ve been to Varadero and did a bus tour of Havana preaching about how nice it is.
The funny thing is, they really don’t need much to raise the standard of living, but their government is just retardedly incompetent. The US embargo is no excuse when everybody else can trade with them.

There is a reason the leopard is so popular internationally. Indigenous tank programs are pricey money pits.
They’d be better off doing licensed manufacturing of leopards or some other tank.
That being said, our old fleet of leopard C2’s that they were shopping to foreign countries might still be donatable

The fact they’ve convinced you he’s worthless is also them doing their job.

Guaranteed won’t happen.
We could have donated heavily upgraded leopard 1’s that are in the process of decommissioning too.
Also like 50,000 70mm rockets we’re currently dismantling

If that was the case, they would have at least been able to optimize agriculture and feed their people.
I agree with your theory under ideal circumstances and disagree with the US embargo. But the current government there is also a clusterfuck of incompetence.
