  Castro's Cuba really is that pressed for cash nowadays.  The oil
deal with Venezuela featured especially low charges.  (Kind of like
the deal the Clinton administration reached with North Korea to
appease its nuclear weapons program)

  In fact, I wonder if Cuba is on the dole of some rogue oil nations
other than Venezuela in order to stay afloat -- money in exchange for
harboring terrorists, etc. -- in addition to getting assistance from
China (to improve its signal intelligence -- eavesdropping --
capability).
