Why do libs always rush to defend abhorrent things with "🤓👆but achtually it's technically not illegal".
And in any case, according to the unanimous vote (sans US and Israel ofc) in the UN every year, the blockade is illegal and a violation of the UN Charter.
If money is a form of speech, it's actually unconstitutional to deny me the ability to purchase something. Therefore an embargo that prevents me from buying Cuban cigars is illegal.
I'm actually planning on going next summer, and the American government has a very long list of places in Cuba that it is apparently ILLEGAL for me to spend money at. (basically any Government owned place, which being a socialist nation is quite a lot) This includes basically all hotels for example.
It's illegal for me to go to another country and spend money at a hotel, according to MY government. Land of the free lmao wtf
