International Cuba getting crushed by Trump's oil blockade

yup, sanctions and embargoes punish the people, and usually drive them to cling to the defacto leader at the time.

Lift the sanctions and let the people of Cuba live their lives without having to ration electrify and gas ffs.

What if I told you that the people of Cuba could still live their lives without electricity and gas..

I mean, yes they could. Not going to argue that. I just think sanctions do more harm than good as explained earlier.

It's pretty hard to run hospitals or have productive industry at any scale without electricity and gas.

I didn’t say to take care of the masses..

It’s been done before.

Just because countries have survived sanctions before in exchyange for widespread misery doesn't mean that the suffering should be ignored.

Is there a particular instance you have in mind where sanctions produced the sought after policy outcome?

None.

Right, the advisor to the most aggressively anti-communist and anti-Fidel US president "sucks" because he recognized that the Batista regime was shitty.

Goddamn, talk about indoctrinated.

Living among South Florida Cubans... not even once.

No one said Batista wasn’t shitty, no one said that Schlesinger was shitty because of that quote, that was an aside because he got so many other things wrong. Hence, it was a throwaway one-liner at the end of my post.

If you lived in Miami, perhaps you would be better educated on subjects that are near and dear to your heart, like Cuba and Venezuela, another country you got so horrifically wrong.
