Cuba did not ask for, nor deserve, a 60+ yearlong US economic and political war for choosing their own path. No matter what you think about Cuba, the US blockade is immoral, illegal and overwhelmingly opposed around the world.
The US, like any other sovereign country, has the right to decide who it trades with. Trade with the US is a privilege, not a right, and the explicitly anti-American government in Cuba is not entitled to the US markets 🤷♂️
Cuba did not ask for, nor deserve, a 60+ yearlong US economic and political war for choosing their own path. No matter what you think about Cuba, the US blockade is immoral, illegal and overwhelmingly opposed around the world. Last year the UN General Assembly vote was 187 in favor of the resolution to End the US blockade, only the US and Israel voted against it. It’s time the U.S. government act according to popular sentiment (112, and counting, resolutions in the US representing over 60 million people have called for an end to the US blockade and/or to remove Cuba from the US “state sponsor of terrorism list”)
@@chicagocubacoalition2758 Yes, and rightly so! During the blockade, I was in the Navy at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida (NASJACKS). Everything that could fly was loaded and on standby. How close you came! Make no mistake. We know what you did and why you did it! An old saying is, "Be careful of what you wish for." How is that working out for you?

@@TWE_2000 1) Cuban government is NOT anti American. They promote a policy of cooperation and respect for national sovereignty. Which should be a 2 way street. Cuba does not interfere in US internal matters. On the other hand, the US government has a long history of interference in the internal affairs of Cuba. 2) you sight the sovereignty of the US government to decide who it trades with. But you have nothing to say about the sovereignty of the Cuban government?? If the US government were to abide by terms of international law, it would abide by Cuba's right to national sovereignty and the right to decide matters of national interest. 3) US economic sanctions against Cuba are extra-territorial in character and not ONLY restrict trade between the US and Cuba, but also restricts the trade that Cuba has within the international market. Just 1 example, is the history of US fines against European banks, to the cost of billions of dollars, for financial transactions with Cuba. (J.Gordon, US embargo against Cuba) US embargo/blockade goes beyond the US "right to decide who it trades with". And these economic and political warlike measures ultimately impact the daily life of Cuban population, placing undue economic hardship; limiting access to basic items; medicines, food, fuel.
