I visited Cuba some months ago. Amazing what they can and have done better than supposedly "first world" countries like the US in terms of healthcare, houselessness, etc. Of course they also have many issues but almost all of them can be traced to the blockade.

The blockade is utterly indefensible. A crime against humanity.

I'd love to visit one day, such a resiliant and kind people. They have trained doctors globally for decades for little to nothing in return.

Is there any way to (legally) circumvent the blockade? I know they don't have access to steam so it's not like people can buy Cuban games like they can buy Russian games, but is there any other way (short of going there on vacation)?

They are joining BRICS, so hopefully trade expands.
