Embargos aren't just for "capitalist goods". "Communism" isn't against trade. There are some raw materials that a country the size of Cuba can never get without meaningful trade.
The US is a massive economic force basically pushing Cuba to adopt a political model that the US wants.
That's a lie. Cuba trades with China, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and the Netherlands.
No, it threatens to impose legal liability on any company doing business in Cuba using expropriated property. Which is a bad enough policy that it doesn't require exaggeration.
No, they don't. Canada, right next door, has a vast amount of trade with Cuba. No "threats" are in play.
Cuban officials say the cargo carrier of Colombia-based Avianca Airlines declined to carry the aid to Cuba because its major shareholder is a U.S.-based company subject to the trade embargo on Cuba.
I bet you haven't, because they'll all tell you they escaped because the oppressive regime, not because of poverty.
The sanctions are there for the same reasons we have sanctions against North Korea, trading with murderous regimes is condoning their actions.
Listen to the protests and the Cuban people, you may learn something.
Hint: they're chanting "freedom", not "relieve sanctions". They're protesting their government, not ours.
But please tell me more how the Cuban people are uninformed and you understand the conflict better.
And yes I have. Cuba's regime is shit - the embargo is also shit.
America's argument with Cuba would work better if they weren't suffocating them.
