Is the revolution in Cuba over?

The Inquiry explores whether the Cuban revolution is over, given the island's economic struggles, dwindling oil supplies, and pressure from the United States. The podcast traces Cuba's history from its sugar-dependent economy under US influence to the rise of Fidel Castro and the subsequent alliance with the Soviet Union. It highlights the impact of the US embargo and the collapse of the Soviet Union, which led to a severe economic crisis in Cuba. The discussion covers the period of improved relations with the US under President Obama and the subsequent downturn caused by Trump-era restrictions and the COVID-19 pandemic, further exacerbated by a poorly timed currency reform. The podcast also examines Venezuela's role in providing oil to Cuba and the potential implications of the US intervention in Venezuela for Cuba's future.
