    Can't say I would have objected against sanctions against Nazi Germany. Does that suffice?

    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.

          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.

            Of course there's a difference with seeing something from an objective viewpoint and agreeing or disagreeing with it?

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

          Are you a sith lord?

          Well, if your horrible, uneducated, moronic, murderous political ideas didn't already tell me that you have the mental capacity of someone who derives their political opinions from children's media...There it is.

      I hate when people try to be slick, and it's even more annoying when they suck at it:

      Well it's a one party dictatorship, and . . . the responsibility lies on the Cuban leadership.

      All this ignoring that you are misrepresenting both Cuba and the effect of the sanctions.

        This obviously doesn't mean that I support the sanctions and you are intentionally misleading in saying so.

          "It's a Bad Country and the actions taken against it by the US are the fault of the Bad Country's leadership, not the US"

          "Oh, but I'm not supporting the US, merely absolving them of guilt"

          Chickenshit nonsense

          Makes pretty extreme implication

          Denies any such implication and is insulted that anyone could read it such a way

          ???

          Coward

      You do realize that kind of sanctions affect the poor civilians far more than the elite, if it even affect the elite at all, right?
