Oh yes, the all-powerful embargo of Cuba, in place since 1962. Like the U.S. Navy has had the island blockaded ever since./s
Of course, Bammie is chipping away at the embargo & ban on travel. What’s new?
But communist Cuba can trade with any nation on earth except the U.S., so why is Castro’s tropical paradise still a Stalinist s***hole?
Answer: Fidel Castro, El Maximo Lider Caudillo. His pact with Satan will keep him ticking well past 100.
We had a lefty houseguest a couple weeks ago, an old school chum of the missus.
She had visited Cuba and said, `They may not have much but they are happy.’
That’s a common meme you know, happy campesinos living in Fidel’s socialist workers’ paradise.
I couldn’t control myself any longer so said, `That must be why Cubans in Florida climb on to those inner tubes and make that perilous 90 mile trip through shark-infested waters back to Kooba: because they want to be happy again?’
We didn’t talk politics any more after that.
