Collapsing PDVSA Amplifies Obama Administration's Failures In Cuba; Another Dose Of Pepto-Bismol

While the Obama Administration is not culpable in totality for the government of the Republic of Cuba redirecting, again and again, towards the Russian Federation and People's Republic of China for its energy and financial and commercial requirements, had the Obama Administration engaged commercial and economic changes sought by the United States business community, there would have existed, albeit perhaps marginally, opportunities for United States taxpayers and shareholders of United States companies. 

The Republic of Cuba seeking assistance from Venezuela, Russian Federation and People's Republic of China was not, and is not with a purpose of transforming the Republic of Cuba from its existing commercial, economic and political infrastructure- the goal was and remains to seek reinforcement, preservation and barriers to change.
