It really is incredible what a difference it can make being North Korea, situated next to China and Russia, compared to Cuba with it being situated next to the US. Cuba would probably look more like this as well if it wasn’t located where it is.
Cuba has resorts. It's one of the most popular vacation destinations for people from Canada, if I remember correctly.
Yes, but there are also power outages and most things are not in good condition. Cuba is still heavily dependent on Mexico, the Pink Tide/Liberal/Conservative friendly governments, China and some European states.
It is absolutely popular. I know people who've gone. They hate "The Commies", and refuse to support AES states in any way, directly or indirectly, but they've visited resorts in Cuba.
Liberal cognitive dissonance is one hell of a thing.
I guess you could compare it to Venezuela and Nicaragua. Even under heavy sanctions, Venezuela still have huge shopping malls and resorts, and things have improved since Brazil and Colombia elected Socdems.
