Yes, yes, everything the tankie doesn't like is propaganda

Sure, yes, countries which wouldn't harbor Cuban defectors.

Yes, yes, that's why Cubans defect at every opportunity. The Cuban healthcare system is quite remarkable for such a poor nation. It's just telling that they have to work so hard to keep those doctors captive to it.

And I'm sure that if the US had carpet bombed Cuba, then it would have been very destructive. Of course, that never happened, so any attempt to blame the utter failure of Cuban communism to build wealth and increase the economic fortunes of the people of Cuba on a supposed carpet bombing of Havana sounds rather divorced from reality.

Harmless, no, but they didn't destroy the Cuban economy

The US is not obligated to trade with any country. And no action the US ever took posed a serious threat to Cuba or the Castro regime. The poor economic state of that nation is largely because of mismanagement under socialist economic policy. They have plenty of trading partners, they just don't have a developed economy because communism doesn't lead to economic development.

Cuba enjoyed massive support from the USSR for decades and it's still an economically backwards shithole. All the US does is refuse to trade with them.

Communist countries and capitalist countries tried to sabotage each other for the whole cold war. Capitalism won, because for a variety of reasons, a capitalist economy works better to advance both general well being and innovation in general, as well as represents a system far less prone to systemic corruption than communism.

Joe Biden literally criminalized the rail workers using their legal right to strike.

And then used his platform and office to force the rail companies to address their concerns. You fucks are so dishonest

Whatever lies you need to tell yourself, I guess.

The Soviet Empire directly occupied every constituent "Republic" as colonies, as well as occupied the Warsaw Pact countries as satellite vassals, and used military force to put down any rebellion from their puppet nations in the Warpac. They denied the people any say in government, subverted unions into agents of the state instead of advocates for the workers, and systematically crushed any domestic political dissent using secret police.

As to whether I'm okay with consistently applying that? Sure. The last time the US fought a military conflict in order to annex a nation into empire was 1902. The Soviets did it consistently throughout their empire's existence.
