Cuba : viva la vida | Deadliest Journeys

Показать описание
In Cuba, most roads are in good condition. But in the countryside, it's a different story! Especially since there are very few cars in working order. It must be said that for almost 60 years Cuba has been cut off from the world. The United States has placed the country under an economic embargo. New cars are almost non-existent and spare parts are almost impossible to find. The Cubans have therefore become the kings of resourcefulness, they keep cars alive, most of which date from the 1950s. They are in their image, a brilliant mechanical crossbreeding. The front seats of Diosmar's Chevrolet come from a French 404, the steering from a Romanian car, the rear seats from a Toyota, in short, in France, they would give cold sweats to more than one technical controller! Especially since the engine is nothing but a generator! Not enough to spin at full speed but enough to tow the beautiful 77-year-old American. The taxi driver breaks into a cold sweat on the descents, the Chevrolet's trajectories are rather approximate. On the banks of the river, Toa, Luis, builds his bamboo raft. No road loosens his farm, going down the river is the only way to deliver his banana production. A sweat test awaits him in the middle of the currents.

Directors: Daniel Lainé, David Geoffrion

Cuba exports 1.5 billion and imports 5.3 billions worth of products yearly from 180+ countries all around the world. Just months ago 800+ Brand New 2020-2021-2022 Hyunday’s arrived in Mariel Port. After shipping from Korea to Panama to then United States and then finally to Cuba. All hotels in Cuba are filled with products like they do not even know what an embargo is. What Anyone who says there is am embargo in Cuba, either does not know what they are talking about and just repeat what they get told, or simply liers. 66% of the chicken thats ate in Cuba comes from the United States. Anyone here can look up the clause to end that so terrible embargo which only prohibits americans from shopping/staying/eating at military owned business, why???! Because Cubans cannot have private businesses, all has to be for them and only them. Anyone here can look up the clause to end that so terrible embargo they blame 60 years of decline in the Island while they live luxurious lives which is 3 things: FREE PRESS, FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS AND FREE THE POLITICAL PRISIONERS. #HumanitaryIntervention #FreeCuba #CubansAreDying #CubansNeedHelp #Cuba #CubaTravel #SOSCuba #PatriaYVida #AbajoElComunismo #CubanEmbargo #RealEmbargo #RealCuba #LibertadParaCuba 🆘🇨🇺💔

This "embargo" excuse is ridiculous. Cuba trades with most of the world, it is Cuban law that makes importing vehicles incredibly hard/expensive.

The sad reality 😞 of the cuban people. Many people are suffering. We still don't know if it's because the embargo or because the cuban government 🤔. God bless my country. #nomorecommunism
