Should we start feeling sorry for Donald Trump, as he is so obviously failing mentally? He can't quite figure out what is going on right now. But he seems to realize that he is losig support.

Google says: Spain is a constitutional parliamentary monarchy, ruled by King Felipe VI, who serves as the Head of State and symbol of unity, while the Prime Minister leads the government and executive branch.
I've asked my friend living there for more on the current situation.
Here below is a commentary that I've received in Spanish, so get out your Google translator. Basically, it's saying that the loss of Venezuela as a provider of oil to Cuba has resulted in grave hardship for Cuba, including loss of tourism, especially from Russia. Russia has been trying to help out, but its efforts so far have been insufficient, indicting that it might be willing to abandon Cuba. Canadian tourists are trying to trying to leave now by any means.

Aerolíneas rusas suspenden vuelos a Cuba dando un duro golpe al turismo

La escasez de combustible en Cuba sigue afectando gravemente la operativa de vuelos comerciales. Las últimas en tomar decisiones sobre el tema fueron las aerolíneas rusas Russian y Nordwind.
Ambas ejecutarán una operación para sacar a los turistas rusos de la Isla y suspenderán temporalmente el traslado de nuevos visitantes. En plena temporada alta del turismo a Cuba, esto representa un duro golpe para el sector.
El problema radica en la dificultad para el reabastecimiento de los aviones en vuelos transatlánticos debido a la escasez crónica de combustible Jet A-1. Las aerolíneas rusas han ajustado su programación para realizar vuelos unilaterales de carga, de regreso a Moscú, y tras estos ajustes, los vuelos regulares se suspenderán hasta nuevo aviso.
El Ministerio de Transporte de Rusia y las autoridades cubanas han mantenido contacto constante, buscando soluciones para reanudar los vuelos en ambas direcciones. Sin embargo, el problema del combustible se extiende más allá de las aerolíneas rusas.
La crisis del combustible tiene su origen en la pérdida de Venezuela como proveedor principal de petróleo, junto con la interrupción de envíos desde México debido a los riesgos arancelarios impuestos por Estados Unidos.
La situación en Cuba se ha extendido a varios aeropuertos clave, como los de La Habana, Varadero, Santa Clara y Santiago de Cuba, y la escasez de combustible se espera que dure hasta, al menos, marzo de 2026.
La embajada de Rusia en La Habana ha expresado que Moscú buscaría cómo ayudar al régimen castrista en la medida de sus posibilidades, pero hasta el momento nada se ha concretado. La decisión de suspender vuelos es el primer indicio de que Rusia estaría dispuesta a dejar caer a la dictadura comunista.
Here's another message I just received, saying that Raul Casro is 94 and very ill, also that many European countries have abandoned Cuba.
