Countrywide blackout after Hurricane Ian was the latest disaster straining Cuba’s already disintegrating infrastructure

, some shouting “freedom”. Exile groups have grasped at these as signs of an incipient uprising, and the government shut down the internet, presumably to stop their spread., these manifestations appear more desperate. The government appear to have met them peacefully.

Whoever is to blame, Jorge Piñon, a researcher at the University of Texas’s Energy Institute, points out that an inflection point has been reached. Some of Cuba’s biggest electricity plants are more than 45 years old, operating far beyond their expected lifetimes. A greater problem yet is the state of the grid.

For those without power and water over the weekend, concerns were more immediate. Food has been hard to find for several years now and a doctor, who asked not to be named, said he is expecting an upsurge in gastrointestinal problems as people eat spoiled meat and dairy. On the other side, streets led into utter darkness and out of these people emerged banging pots. Government representatives arrived, as did the police and the rapid response units used to cheerlead for the state. Arguments flared in the middle of the road and watching on was a couple, a pair of tiny babies in their arms.

‘Frustration increasing’ in Russia over Putin’s warFormer US Army Chief of Staff General Jack Keane says there is a “growing dissent” among the Russian population over President Vladimir Putin’s war. “The pressure on him has got to be growing,” General Keane told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “The frustration is certainly increasing.” What's his source? Is he in active communication with Russian officials? Is he an asset? Or is he reading Facebook post's & clammoring for attention? Utter bullshit. The US and their puppets in Khyev are trying to peddle a false narrative of 'growing dissent' in Russia in a bid to orchestrate a Maidan-style coup that the US pushed in Ukraine in 2014. Reason: forthcoming imminent defeat of the NATO-backed Ukr. army by Russia. More skynews propaganda
