Mainstream news describe the economic situation is Cuba as extreme, see for example, this article by CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/22/americas/cuba-crisis-energy-economy-intl-latam

Is that true? How to get a realistic account of the current situation in Cuba? Is United States blockade getting worse?

Edit. Added a mainstream source and re-stated my question in a more neutral tone.

Jordan Shanks, but I also follow Boy Boy as of recently.

I believe a similar thing happened to Boy Boy after their laundering money in casinos thing actually.

I just considered them "firebombed by association". Jordan's collaboration with them can be interpreted as an endorsement, and I trust Jordan because he got firebombed.

Oh okay so it's the same incident. I've been having the confusions for like a week and I was thinking "it happened twice?!"
