Since I’ve been alive, Cuba hasn’t caused any issues. The embargo should have been lifted 20 fucking years about. The US is such a petty country.

Yep if anything Cuba should be worried and sanctioning america with all the overthrow attempts, and protection of terrorists.

Cuba doesn't really have any leverage to sanction America. But the rest of the world should be sanctioning America on their behalf.

Yes, but the Cuban government is fascist too. Not that that's a great reason to starve the population,

...wat

"I don't like the Cuban government" - a statement that I could understand, even if I disagree.

"the Cuban government is fascist" - utterly nonsensical. You're contributing to making fascism a completely meaningless word.

It's not fascist in the Italian fascist corporate sense, but communism certainly enforces economic subordination to the state. Cuba also checks off authoritarianism, nationalism, suppression of decent, economic regimentation, anti democratic, rejection of civil liberties - this is precisely the way that the U.S. is becoming fascist - so in this context Cuba is fascist.
