  • It used to exist for a good reason, the reason have dried up after decades of non-changing conditions. It’s about time to stop punishing the people of Cuba for the actions of their dictators. You want to limit imports of weapons and weapon materials, go ahead, but the current oil restriction is simply non-justifiable.

    Telling the people who are suffering under the direct action of the United States to not hate the United States is like telling Palestinians to not hate Israel or Ukraine to not hate Russia. Instead of advocating for fixing or reducing the source of the problem, you’re telling the victims to fix their attitude, instead.


  • Where did I advocate for a dictatorship? Instead, I’m simply saying normalising a despot that dreams of becoming a dictator is wrong.

    Embargoing Cuba didn’t end the dictatorship and only made the people suffer, and normalising relations with the US right now won’t solve that, given how many times the US have attacked their closest allies right now.

    Cuba have also not shown they have the capacity to threaten the US right now, so the best thing is for the world to say no to the US instead of telling Cuba to suck up to them.

    While you said you’re talking about the US in the third person, your arguments are certainly rooted in the perspective of an American.
