With its colony Venezuela teetering and the generosity of Russia and China waning, the communist Castro dictatorship is desperately looking for a new teat to latch on to. Although Cuba has little to nothing to offer the geopolitical group made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, the coalition has a lot to offer Cuba. In a letter to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Cuba has officially requested inclusion in their group.
Frances Martel reports in Breitbart:
The communist government of Cuba confirmed on Monday that it has formally requested a “partnership” agreement with BRICS, the China-led international coalition dedicated to eradicating American influence abroad.
BRICS – named after its initial members Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – expanded for the second time in January and has since publicized the possibility of adding more members. The group was initially referred to as BRIC before its first expansion initiated South Africa.
The BRICS coalition is largely a political alliance in which member parties support each other’s agenda at the United Nations and other international venues. BRICS countries also support each other against sanctions – which several face in the West for various human rights atrocities their governments are committing – and have discussed the creation of a parallel economic structure to eliminate the use of the U.S. dollar. Some members have also floated the possibility of a formal security alliance, potentially rivaling America’s alliances, such as NATO.

[Cuba] is facing a severe economic crisis as a result of over half a century of communist policies that greatly enriched the ruling Castro dynasty at the expense of the other ten million people on the island. Electric blackouts are now a regular occurrence, finding gas stations actually stocked with fuel a rarity, and the nation’s food and other basic goods supplies have been precarious for decades, but are now increasingly difficult to maintain even for the well-connected communist elite.
Despite apparently offering little to BRICS, a senior Cuban External Affairs Ministry (Minrex) official, Carlos Pereira, confirmed on Monday that the communist regime is seeking a role in the coalition.
“Cuba has officially requested to be included in BRICS as a ‘partner country’ in a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin,” Pereira wrote in a statement on social media, “who is the interim chairman of the association, which is strengthening its position as a key player in global geopolitics and the hope of the Global South.”
For the parasitic Cuban regime, this is a potential new host they can suck the blood out of.
Castro, Inc. has always been a parasite, and parasites are never self-sustaining–they MUST live off others.
