Cuba's Crisis: A Product of Misrule and Decades of US Sanctions

Cuba is currently facing a severe crisis that analysts attribute to two major factors. Decades of mismanagement by the country's own rulers have significantly contributed to its deteriorating condition. At the same time, prolonged American sanctions, deliberately imposed to pressure regime change, have compounded the nation's struggles. The combination of internal governance failures and external economic pressure has left Cuba in a deeply vulnerable state. Debate continues over the United States' role and potential next steps regarding its Cuba policy.
