As people in Cuba begin to protest their government because of shortages and long lines and a failing economy, etc., government officials in Cuba blame the US for all their ills.
So is the US to blame? On the one hand, Marxists want to destroy the US, but on the other hand, seem to complain when the US does not help them economically or boycotts them economically. Why then do they want to destroy the US economy that they seem to need?
Either that or there is some other hidden way the US is destroying Cuba
Anyone?
And the only response from Joe Biden is that he condemns any violence. There is no support for anyone as he basically ignores what is gong on.
I assume Bernie Sanders is having a panic attack and does blame the US
So what about you?
In short, no, the U.S is not responsible for their problems. There is no global law that a nation must trade with another especially when they allow nukes of their biggest rival at the time to rest on their land.
Cuba could have been China, they could have opened up their country to foreign investment and have a more capitalist approach. They decided to remain socialist and the common citizens as always happens in such systems, suffers. If not from the start, eventually as centralized government steals, corrupts and uses the police state. This happens to varying degrees in all socialist nations, some are more extreme than others.
Of course, in the case of China, we now know the CCP was just playing the West to pillage, steal and influence so that they could become the world leader. This shouldn't have been fully unexpected to anyone who understands their history and communism in general, the difference is that one nation has 1.4B and is now a global threat, if Cuba pulled the same charade it wouldn't be much of a global problem for the U.S.
Cubans would be happier and the ability to convert them to full capitalist would be far more reasonable expected. Just influencing them in the local sphere of the U.S is far easier than in China, not to mention many foreign citizens and those who speak the language, understand the culture. Now, who knows where this leads.
