The reason Cubans drive 65 yr-old American cars has nothing whatsoever to do with the US embargo. They can buy any American product they want except for military weapons, and even those are available (from weapons dealers) if they would pay cash. Besides, most cars come from Asia anyway, so there goes that excuse. (Asian capitalists want cash up front too.) The biggest issue with the embargo is no direct airlines flights with the US and Cuban cigars are considered contraband in this country. It’s really sad that so many libs have bought Castro’s excuse “it’s because of the embargo.” Suckers.
Do you support shooting protesters and jailing dissidents? Do you support an organization that champions police state brutality and a government that impoverishes its citizens? Should such an organization be allowed to influence education on any level? These aren’t difficult questions - I’ll forever be flabbergasted that they even need to be asked.
Maybe the left is mad about the embargo, because they want to go down there and get some practice oppressing people. It can be a tricky thing, better to get some practice down there first where the people have already been disarmed.
Well, we have to get our opinions and thoughts out there now, before everything but the DNC line becomes misinformation. How does it feel? To be on that side of history?
Yes, I hope I am wrong, but my expectation is that the Biden administration will end up sending equipment and supplies to prop up the Communist regime in Cuba.
The left has framed the protests as primarily against mishandling of the COVID epidemic and lack of supplies. Communism is not the issue in their book.
Some have even claimed that the protests are spreading COVID. Police violence against non-BLM protestors in the name of preventing COVID is not unique to Cuba.
