Most nation states will hardly come out in one piece from the stress test placed upon their institutional frameworks by trade, technology; climate change ; war and disease. The United Kingdom for instance might well give way to England as Scotland opts to preserve free trade with the EU. Yemen, Sudan, Afghanistan ; Bangladesh and Syria might not survive their ongoing conflicts. The Seychelles are almost certain to sink should sea levels continue to rise. One nation state however stands apart as the most resilient and resourceful entity. Cuba: the gigolo state.
Indeed, Cuba and its regime have defied 12 US presidents who have tried to sanitize, contain; suffocate and engage Cuba. Its power structures are intact in spite of lacking any significant supporting economic activity. Its diplomacy is particularly successful in multilateral bodies where Cuba seems to be able to lure the African region in its favor. It has developed a brand managing system that successfully attracts young people to support its designs. Like Covid 19 it silently attacks societies’ health system to twist democratic behavior and subvert democracy. Cuba has crushed every single human right listed in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights without ever being held responsible let alone be brought to justice. And it has created the most efficient rent extraction system the world has ever seen to support its totalitarian apparatus. This rent extraction system operates under the same principles displayed by gigolos. Cuba Charms its victim and once the victim agrees to create a support system, Cuba takes over management to vacuum every wealth generating particle and start to phagocytize the victim. This was the modus operando vis-à-vis the extinct Soviet Union; Angola and Venezuela countries tah have been literally sacked by Cuba. Now Bolivia is about to take the place of Venezuela.

And as it is also well known lithium to be the new oil as cars will rather soon be operated by batteries and batteries are made of lithium. Further, as solar panels mushroom all over the world to reduce carbon dioxide emissions storage of solar energy will spike demand for lithium. So as Venezuela falls more deeply into a humanitarian calamity and Cuba ceases to receive Venezuela’s generous transfers of oil and foreign exchange, taking over the Bolivian government will guarantee yet another 60 years of survival to the Cuban regime. And take over it is . Cuba has supervised preparations for regional elections to be held on march the 7th. To vacuum lithium proceeds it is paramount to control the territories were the depositories are located. Plus Bolivia continues to be a mayor producer of the main ingredient for cocaine: coca leaves. Overseeing and phagocytosing local Bolivian authorities with the complicit permission from Bolivia’s head of state seems to be the number one priority in Cuban foreign policy.
