Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.
Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo
Bonus socdems being cringe part 4.5: about another member that didnt show up to the presidential meeting

Deeply unserious people
I always wonder if these people are naive useful idiots or actually malevolent like you just asked. I guess it doesn't matter in practice, but I am curious too when it comes to her and others. Westerners are chauvinistic enough to just be this naive unfortunately. I was like that when I was a baby leftist (repeating bullshit about authoritarianism and both sides, etc.) and unfortunately I see that a lot of my "leftist" friends and acquaintances fail to grow past it. Idk my point, I guess I'm just lamenting
