People are so fucking stupid, like, dumb shit redditors are like "um cuba isn't being blockaded" because technically other countries "can" trade with Cuba
But the terms of the embargo put a massive economic incentive on shipping to not do that! You can go to Cuba to make money or you can go to the U.S. to make money but you can't fucking do both within like the same YEAR, so of course ships aren't going to go to fucking cuba!
These dumbfucks are usually neoliberals and is like jesus christ, this effect is logically consistent with your own brain dead ideology, how do you not get it???
And that's on top of one idf the secretaries of inter American affairs stating basically word for word "people love Castro so we're going to starve them so they revolt" in a fucking memo that is PUBLIC RECORD right before the fucking embargo got put into place
I heard that the terms of the embargo are also deliberately vague, so it's hard to know for sure whether your cargo would be allowed or considered sanction breaking. What company would want to roll the dice with US authorities every delivery?
