I wonder where these "economical difficulties" come from, though.

Also, 1. is bullshit too, there are US military bases 0 miles away from China, they have one in Hong Kong (EDIT: used to, was removed by the government in 2020 https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3046733/hong-kongs-fenwick-pier-be-demolished-after-serving-united ) and another in Taiwan.

    there's a state department memo from some undersecretary of the americas guy or something where he's like "we're going to embargo cuba and the point of it is to starve them to make people mad at the government and overthrow it" and I quoted it and this reddit motherfucker was still like "what about their AUTHORITARIANISM"

      here: https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1958-60v06/d499

      If the above are accepted or cannot be successfully countered, it follows that every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.

      thankfully this vermin is dead already rip-bozo shame it was a quick one though

      When the US uses the wealth it stole from a country to destabilize it, assassinate its leaders, and to try to return it to a colonial situation to steal its natural and labor resources, they're just supposed to let it happen. If they can't fix decades or centuries of theft in a couple years or months, with all the interference and violence being instigated by the richest nation in history, do they really deserve a chance?
