For starters, how the fuck do you enforce an embargo without the threat of violence, and secondly I love how me and all my communist friends are expected to have a PhD in world history and economics while your average liberal can cite two state department links and a CIA funded NGO and call it a day.
This is an excellent example of one of the ways that moral progress has actually reversed in the last few decades. Even the compararively barbaric European and American politicians of the early 1900's all understood and accepted that economic sanctions were a form of actual warfare.
