Cuba

The U.S. has more sanctions in store for Cuba, the U.S. top diplomat in Havana said on Friday, just days after the U.S. punished several Cuban judicial officials for their roles in jailing political dissidents on the island nation.

...

President Donald Trump has already doubled down on sanctions since taking office in January, returning longtime foe Cuba to a U.S. list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, tightening rules on remittances, and shutting off Biden-era migration programs.


If I live to be 1000 I will never understand the hate the American government has for Cuba, across both party lines and for longer than many of us have been alive. And for what? For daring to side with the USSR back in the cold war?

Qatar who has given billions to likes of Hamas, Nusra Front, and the Muslim Brotherhood is cool and one of our new best friends.

Syria's new leader was a leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, he literally fought against and killed Americans in Iraq, but he is now cool and his country will not face sanctions.

Yet Cuba is is being punished for supposedly being a sponsor of terrorism. A country so broke they cannot even change their mind...

But yet here we are, about to heap more sanctions on this tiny little country that should be an ally and a friend.

We are just a stupid country sometimes.

Truly the best example ever of bipartisan lunacy - punishing Cuba for their acts over 60 years ago. Without the sanctions regime the Castro regime would have been gone by 1970. As it is, the remnants of that regime remain with the U.S. depicted as the problem, not the regime.

Complete insanity.

Sometimes I do agree with you. The people there deserve better.
 
Cuba is punished to keep its example from spreading. Cuba was in many ways more dangerous than the USSR because they were on a trajectory away from Stalin’s bureaucratic dictatorship and middle-class nationalist accommodation to imperialism and back toward Lenin’s road of class struggle, socialist democracy, and proletarian internationalism.

Now in the past 5 years Cuba has taken big steps backward toward Stalinism and consequently toward capitalism. But Trump scores political points by punishing Cuba for the country it used to be.
