    The US is not obligated to trade with any country. And no action the US ever took posed a serious threat to Cuba or the Castro regime. The poor economic state of that nation is largely because of mismanagement under socialist economic policy. They have plenty of trading partners, they just don’t have a developed economy because communism doesn’t lead to economic development.

      Uhm, dumbass. “Plenty of trading partners” includes China, Russia, BRICS more or less, requiring access to the straits down to Cuba (something that isn’t so easy for Russia), but excludes the EU, America in general, all due to a combination of sanctions and trade agreements where those sanctions are built in. So every other Latin-American country that wants to do business with them has to abstain, unless they too get targeted by republican and democrat psychos who jerk them selves to sleep thinking “McCarthy did nothing wrong”.

      So yeah, “plenty of trading partners”. Cuba is like that victim that gets choked as well as beaten and the assailant (the US) claiming that “they were asking for it”.

      Again, read up on US sanctions, trading agreements and remind yourself that the US government is as subversive and crooked as Russia. Cuba isn’t suffering because of communism - or at least the communism alone - but is but one of many countries that have been subverted by the US government.

      The funny and sad thing here is it’s the same problem: centralisation of power. The US has way too much power and should get knocked down a peg.
