      Right as Venezuela starts giving oil to Israel. This world is so fucking stupid.

      I mean… yeah. The US stated policy goal for decades has been the removal of the regime in Cuba. Honestly, this is the best chance they have so the US will 100% take full advantage of this opportunity. The only Administration to pull back from this was the Obama administration, however that was because they felt removing the regime was unlikely so it would be best to try and mend ties.

      The Cuban community in Florida are a very large voting block and have been pushing for this heavily which is why almost every administration has been reluctant to go against the policy of removing the regime. Florida is usually a major swing state and the Cuban community plays a big role. Rubio may achieve his dream of being the architect to the Cuban government’s collapse.

      So basically what Trump is shooting for is regime change through deliberately making life even worse for the people of Cuba. Maybe there’s a reason this method hasn’t been tried for a long time. I guess the only hope this go around is that social media and the internet exists?

      Its not the responsibility of the US to prop up regimes that are in conflict with our interests

      And to imagine that Cubans voted overwhelmingly for this to happen, knowing that their relatives back home would suffer.

      Cuba had close to 4 decades where the Soviet Union was dumping money on them, in return for ludicrously overpriced sugar. Yet instead of diversifying, going hard into oil production(Cuba actually has significant offshore deposits), and the like; it instead largely just went into social welfare programs, which while very popular, always assumed Daddy Soviet Union would always be around to bankroll everything. Like they were isolated and right next door to the US, they should have understood that self dependence was Existential. But Cuba didn’t. Then it lost the Soviet Union, had a VERY hard decade, was rescued by Venezuela,(which Cuba traded medical expertise for oil); but now THAT’s gone. Like at some point willfully short sighted strategic planning is gonna come home to roost, even if the US didn’t have as much of a hateboner over Cuba that it always has.(edited 40 decades to 4, I am le tired)

      Let’s maybe blame the repressive communist dictatorship that murdered millions, destroyed the economy, and enriched themselves. Maybe tell that story.

      Trump needs more beachfront resorts. He doesn’t care if 11 million people suffer to get what he wants.

      Before anyone starts whining about ImPeRiAlIsM in the comments, google the human rights record of the cuban government and how many activists they murdered and imprisoned during the last major protests. They don’t deserve sympathy, if the government really cared about its people, they’d make a deal with the US to host free elections and let the chips fall.

      China has confirmed that they are committed to assisting Cuba through the current fuel shortage. It appears that the only thing accomplished by Trump cutting off the flow of oil from Venezuela to Cuba is providing China with closer relations with Cuba.

      As a Canadian that has vistied Cuba numerous times. I feel for its people. I dont like the control exerted on them by a foreign entity. We here in Canada are now getting a taste of what its like to be squeezed by the US and it has soured many of us to the extent we wont ever set foot in the US again.

      America should have buried the hatchet years ago and let Cuba live as they chose to do. You cant control the world, get it through your fucking heads.

      They have been going without food for decades. This is just making it worse. Cubans in exile very much support this.

      And the US wonders why all these foreigners hate them. They literally make them that way. Just the blind leading the blind.
