BLM Stands with Cuban Oppression

[EternalVigilance]

@Sknyluv

I think the embargo should be ended as well. Does that make me a communist supporter?

Nothing in your posting history would ever lead me to believe that you support political suppression. That is not the case with BLM.

@EternalVigilance

The only thing we’ve learned today is that BLM is absolutely fine with shooting protesters and imprisoning dissidents that challenge leftist dictatorships.

No comment on those issues means they support them?

Vietnam isn’t in our back yard, or we would.

You never know when Cuba could get nukes. We probably should do some sort of secret landing invasion in some bay there somewhere.

BLM statement says the embargo interferes with Cuba’s right to “self determination”. If the one party communist dictatorship allowed the Cuban people self determination there would be no embargo.
No, BLM and other dictator apologists have given themselves away.

The embargo has been in place for 60 years and has not led to the revolution that overthrows the commies.

Time to drop it and try something that we do with every other commie nation in the world.

Enrich them with trade so they can concoct deadly viruses and even help fund them doing it?

@EternalVigilance

The embargo is a misnomer. ONLY the U.S. and Israel have one, so the rest of the world has traded freely with Cuba for years - why is the average Cuban income still around $20 a month? The only thing we’ve learned today is that BLM is absolutely fine with shooting protesters and imprisoning dissidents that challenge leftist dictatorships.

Bears repeating, what is so special about our trade?

They are talking about lifting the US embargo… and they aren’t wrong.

The US sanctions on Cuba are absurd.

I agree, but now is not the time.

@DougBH

The concern rises with the left that the embargo may actually be threatening communist dictatorship.

Again- do you think we should embargo China and Vietnam? If not, please explain why.

Yes. Never should have opened trade with them in the first place.

It’s never a good time it seems. Let’s kick the can down the road.

You are seriously suggesting never trading with China? Come on man…

I was alive before we did and we seemed to be doing ok. Better in fact. We didn’t have any Walmart’s though, is that what you would miss most?

Yes, I expect that the Biden Administration will do everything it can to keep the Communist regime in power, but the aid will be kept secret.

They also want to make sure that anti-communist Cubans do not come to the US. The last thing they want are more Republican voters in Florida.

The Biden Administration Says Cubans Are Not Welcome. Where’s the Outrage? |...

Not until this revolution is over. There have been many good times. Right after Fidelito died would have been a great time.

OK well good for you for being consistent. But I’m afraid a policy of not trading with China…is ludicrous.

I know, we might have to open factories and employ people in flyover country. Unthinkable. Might even have to make our own medicine, the horror.

Are you suggesting that practical reasons would prevent this?

What is the “practical” reason for the embargo?

You do realize that ending trade with China would effectively crash the world economy- leading to a massive Great Depression, enormous unemployment and untold misery. No serious mind on the Right or the Left has promoted the idea of a complete embargo of China- because…its crazy.

How do you know that?

Sort of like the virus they just cooked up?
