This man's face was designed by nature to attract as many fists into it as possible.

That and using the phrase "Honey boo boo" unironically.

Embargo is more a thing you threaten and do temporarily to get the point you mean business, it isn't a long term strategy for regime change or bringing about a magical freedom loving democracy. That just doesn't happen.

For that to happen it requires sincere, grassroots momentum and support internally from the populace, and often over a long period of time. The old guard die off or retire letting the next generation push forward.

Deliberately isolating a country and its people only hurts and plays into the Us vs Them narrative mentality, helping to keep jerkbags in power with solidarity.


Shitbags like Rubio basically have no idea what they are doing or why they are doing it. They just know Obama bad, petty politics, be an idiot while giving no fucks about actual Cubans. Removing the embargo is probably the biggest step forward in making their quality of life improve they could do in the short term.

We should embargo every non-liberal nation which seizes illegally American property.

US to embargo US in new recursive embargo policy announced today. Native Americans shocked but hopeful that this impossible turn of events will return things to normal after near three hundred years of misfortunes.

Kofi Annan posted:

Nope, he's right, the rest of the world does in fact think the US medical system is horrible.


A 'healthcare' system where in people actively try to avoid getting healthcare, even when they know they are ill, injured, or just in a bad way, because they think the financial consequences are often as bad or worse(and they certainly are not let down on that point).

It would basically be the joke of some dark comedy if it wasn't actually true.
