  • Libs when confronted with anything that slightly challenges their worldview

  • It's had a nazi government since the 2014 coup

  • Love how hard they're trying to portray this as a bad thing lmao

  • Less so that they disagree and more so that it would damage their propaganda potential too much

  • It's very much a blockade in practice since it prevents the vast majority of companies of any country from trading with Cuba.

    There are very few companies that would survive competition by sacrificing trade with the nearby US to trade with Cuba instead the way the "embargo" forces them to.

  • The Zacua MX2 and MX3 from the video seem to be around 30k USD

  • I suppose red maga wants to befriend Russia and wage a cold war against China similar to how the US allied with China against the USSR, while blue maga right now seems to want to wage war on both.

    Wonder which one would be worse for the US, though it probably won't change things much.

  • I mean it's at least better than putting your trust in the US with the current system

    Also this payment system wouldn't be centralized in Russia or anything. Russia is just the one proposing it since they're the host for 2024

  • So you brought that out of thin air? Weird thing to say without any basis

  • ? Is there some source that says otherwise or something?

  • It's a non-binding resolution. And even if it wasn't, the UN can't exactly do anything militarily nor by sanctions against the US that controls both those fronts right now.

  • Me when I have to cope with not having any cool emojis

  • The Cuban Embargo Explained

    Badempanada's video on the embargo

    Tl;dw is that the embargo makes it so no company/ships trading with Cuba are allowed to trade with the US. And given the US's control over the global financial systems and geographic proximity to Cuba, that essentially means almost any company sacrificing trade with the US to trade with Cuba would be committing financial suicide.

    The US ruling class's motives are that a thriving socialist country so close to the US might force them to make concessions to the working class (free healthcare, transport, etc.) to match Cuba, similar to what the Scandinavian countries had to do because of their proximity to the USSR.

  • The thumbnail image for instances that don't show it

  • A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink

    "I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

    "Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

    The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."
