>It's not like one needs to say blames here, as if it's just an accusation and there could be another cause for that

The US started the Oil Embargo and AFAIK it is still on-goimg. Cuba is running out of fuel. To me 2+2=4, so I say blame can be placed on the US :)

I believe the person you're replying to is criticizing the choice of title, by noting that the phrase "blames" is suggestive that there might be other causes, when there clearly is not (which they agree with you about).

The point is the headline makes it this subjective accusation for Cuba, rather than, you know, a cause and effect thing.
