This video discusses the potential disappearance of Cuba by 2034, drawing parallels to the ancient city of Angkor.

Here's a breakdown of the key points:

 * Angkor's Decline: The video starts by describing the fall of Angkor, a once-great city in Cambodia, due to environmental issues, invasions, and shifting trade routes [00:30].

 * Cuba's Current Crisis: Cuba is facing a rapid population decline, with an estimated 10-30% of its population lost in the last two years [03:35]. The Cuban government has postponed the country's census in order to try and hide this catastrophic number [03:57].

 * Economic Factors: The Cuban government's economic policies, coupled with increased U.S. sanctions and the pandemic, have led to shortages of essential goods and widespread blackouts [04:22].

 * US Sanctions: US sanctions, particularly those tightened during the Trump administration, have exacerbated Cuba's economic woes [05:39].

 * Migration: Many Cubans are emigrating due to the dire economic situation, leading to a demographic imbalance and a "Peter Pan in Reverse" phenomenon, where parents leave their children behind [06:39].

 * Gender Imbalance: More women are leaving Cuba than men, further impacting the country's already low birth rate [07:52].

 * Potential Consequences: If current trends continue, Cuba could become a "ghost country" by 2034, with collapsing healthcare and education systems, and crumbling infrastructure [08:15].

 * Historical Parallel: The video concludes by suggesting that future explorers might stumble upon the ruins of Havana, much like European explorers rediscovered Angkor

[10:18].

Cuba would be a more viable 51st state than Canada or any one of its Provinces.
