  • You got bodied and took it like a piss baby

  • grow up, get a job, buy a calculator

    "The only people who struggle with housing costs are stupid children"

  • Still no sources on anything, and you're not even staying on the topic at hand.

    Cuba now has a privileged elite defending it's grip on power against the poor majority

    Source this.

  • "It's their fault" is not an objective viewpoint. You are assigning blame to Cuba and excusing the U.S.

  • Cuba now has a privileged elite defending it's grip on power against the poor majority

    Source this.

    You have done zero investigation into how well off Cuban leaders are compared to the average Cuban. You have done zero investigation into how this compares to peer countries.

    You just made it up because it sounds like a Bad Country thing, someone told you once that Cuba is a Bad Country, and you never bothered to learn about the place yourself.

  • Use your words

    If you think there's some meaningful difference, let's hear what it is. "I don't support this but it's totally their fault" is not convincing.

  • I've read the thread. You have no source and you have not even tried to educate yourself on the basics of the Cuban government. You invented an accusation out of thin air and are somehow surprised people don't uncritically believe it.

  • Please cite me where I state that I support this policy?

    You excused it by blaming it on Cuba. There's no meaningful difference between that and support. Any worthwhile take on the embargo starts with ending it immediately, and you can't even manage that.

    And sure, I would support sanctions against Nazi Germany. But until Cuba turns fascist, invades its neighbors, and starts a genocide, it's nowhere near a situation where sanctions are appropriate.

  • I'm sure you have some kind of a source for such an outlandish claim. How much time do you spend looking at the compensation of Cuban politicians?

  • You're going to bat for the collective punishment of the Cuban people. When is the collective punishment of civilians appropriate in your mind?

    You're also supporting a policy that has failed to achieve its stated result for 65 years. What other long-term policy failures do you support?

  • Lmao waste your time? You're on a shitposting forum, you're doing that yourself.

    I didn't pose any hypotheticals, I pointed out that your weepy moralizing over the idea of endangering spies is ludicrous.

  • No, but the statement we are discussing

    I don't care about impossible thought experiments

  • But even in your case of letting all the spies be killed to save one civilian, it would in the end result in more dead civilians because if a country does that to its own spies, nobody will want to be a spy for them anymore

    Ridiculous from top to bottom.

    First, you're taking the U.S. at its word that there was anyone on its side in real danger. There is no reason to trust the U.S., and many reasons to think they're lying -- they're fighting a proxy war against Russia, after all.

    Second, it's laughable to take the premise of additional intelligence possibly endangering some spy and turning that into "this would kill all U.S. spies."

    Finally, the U.S. has fucked over countless lackeys in the past and will continue to do so. Dying for your country is what these people already signed up for, and there will be more meat for the grinder whatever happens to a spy here or there, because of a million reasons, but mostly because who the hell is telling recruits about some active spy that gets burned?

    1. Spies who signed up to die if necessary
    2. Civilians

    Pretty sure my morals are just fine if I pick 2 when push comes to shove

  • Congress has voted to fund genocide a bunch too, you fucking doorknob

  • Use your words

    Biden is supporting genocide. Supporting Biden is supporting genocide.

  • Is your point that Congress also supports genocide? Or...?

  • Biden bypassed Congress to fund genocide

  • I agree, it's not 1:1. I just don't think capitalist Europe (fresh off being reminded that they are expendable meat for the U.S.) is going to voluntarily wall itself off from a significant, nearby capitalist economy for very long.
