ALot of what you say is true...and I believe alot of it especially with guys my age who lived through the cuban crisis...I know Fidel hates us deeply he wanted Russia to annihilate us...he tried to get Krushchev to nuke us...hence the missile sites in cuba that JFK rightfully took a firm stance against....Alot of it has been punishment and retribution that act of war against us..
We got into the Cuban Missile Crisis because of our attempts to take out Castro. If the goal is to take him out, lifting the embargo would be far more successful.
Keep the embargo. Every argument made against it has been initiated by a Cuban, a socialist, or someone buying the communist gov. sources.

if anything, the embargo works to preserve their failed state by given them an issue of solidarity to rally around.
end it.
Those threats initiated by Khruschev were intended to show strength when they really had none. Yes they had nuclear weapons, but they knew our second strike capibility would wipe them out. And plus look at the terms of peace: they didn't want us to invade Cuba since they told us not to invade it. Their proximity to Cuba was so far that logistics would be a huge problem and the United States would have interior lines.
Ya know second strike capability has just never meant that much to me in relation to nuclear armageddon. Call me a pessimist but I just don't see what it is worth in the end.
Why you laughing brah?
It is a good detterence in situations such as the CMC.
Because that argument is pathetic and i find it laughable.
We love China they are "communist."
Whats the point again for the embargo?
All people that speak out against the embargo are "a socialist, or someone buying the communist gov. sources."? Serioiusly?
Amnesty international and other human rights groups are all "socialists and buy gov sources"?
The international community/UN are "socialists and buy gov sources"?
Ron Paul is an extreme right winger libertarian and he wants the embargo to end....
And so f'ing what if the world is put into a nuke winter.
They're globalist, and you don't know what Ron Paul has been reading. I don't like China at all you htink we should give in to our demands and let them compete with out economy? But brah why u mad?
I don't think it is at all. But if that's how you feel, we're going to agree to disagree.
Well what is the point of the embargo?
You have not said...
Not if we play power politics. Cuba is basically isolated at this point, so playing power politics against them would give us the initiative in diplomatic talks.
they are far from isolated. They even have Americans traveling there, we just have to fly out of Canada to go.
That's for our relations, though. I was talkking about with other countries and their geopolitical situation.
other countries trade with them, they are not isolated from anyone but us.
