At what point will the USA admit their embargo was and is a huge fuck-up and an embarrassment? It's become a symbol of how full of crap we are. Has it been fifty years of this?
p.s. I looked it up because I'm dumb, it's been SIXTY-SIX YEARS. It's even older than me.
All the USA had to do for a fantastic ally by now is stop being an asshole. We could at least return the illegally seized Guantanamo Bay, which is kept just to insult them, really.
I mean, if their goal is to increase suffering for the Cubans, than that blockade is working pretty well.
It would be nice to imagine, but unfortunately it's not like the solar panels are gonna solve all of Cuba's problems, especially because they don't have enough money to pay for a full transition.
But where will commit torture in legal ambuity if don't have a site off the coast on a land that isn't us jurisdiction but also not the jurisdiction of a country we recognize validty of their human rights laws?
Like it's a really special plot of land if are really trying to specialize in human rights abuse in internationally and domestically legally dubius ways.
All that say, honest wtf is wrong with some of these people
After Trump is gone they may admit it.
Dunno why people don’t realize that Trump never admits he’s wrong about anything. He’s an extreme narcissist who throws tantrums like an overgrown toddler. His ego is inflated to such an extreme degree that any hint of any kind of fault on his part drives him into rage spirals from the cognitive dissonance.
