Instead it has provided him with a wonderful excuse to hide his failures and justify the island's dire poverty and harsh political repression. The embargo is even less effective now that Cuba is so deeply intertwined economically and politically with Venezuela and other countries in the region.

Mostly, though, he's forced to give a bits-and-pieces...

But dependence on Russian energy comes at a political price. Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't hide his ultimate goal. Russia "must aspire to claim world leadership in the realm of energy," Putin told his Security Council last December. For the Kremlin, energy security equals Russian national security, and it won't shy away from making oil and gas significant tools of its foreign policy. The clearest sign came last...
