Why don’t Democrats ever do the right thing unless they’re desperate for an election?

“we are going to continue building our revolution, despite the tightening of the blockade”

I haven’t been following Cuba at all, can someone more knowledge expand on this? Has the US tightened the sanctions on Cuba? I thought we loosened them during the Obama years?

FunkPhenomenon,

as of last november: press.un.org/en/2023/ga12552.doc.htm

nothing is going to happen though, Cuba is firmly within America’s sphere of influence.

Thanks for the link, I don’t see anything in there about the US “tightening” anything, though?

Guess it’s just a case of using hyperbolic language.

stochastic_parrot,

Yes, Trump tightened the sanctions. Look for the changes between 2019-2020 here: …gwu.edu/…/cuba-embargoed-us-trade-sanctions-turn…

And Biden even added a few more! That’s fucked up. Thanks for the link!
