Yes the words directly preceding that were? You seem to have specifically ignored those words…
Maybe you need help… so let me pull it up for you again.
So not only is there no Blockade… but just an embargo… and not only is there an embargo,
So I do acknowledge there’s an embargo. Not sure how you can claim that I’m denying there’s an embargo… Now come the question. What does that Embargo entail? Can you tell me that? Or are you just going to go on about how there’s a blockade like your fellow lemmygrad friend that claims there’s no Embargo, but instead a Blockade.
“Your account is on an instance that I don’t like, so you must be arguing in bad faith”
If I had a problem with the instance, I’d defederate it. I’m sure there’s plenty of users on lemmygrad that are perfectly fine to discuss topics with. And no, I wasn’t basing your obvious bad faith argument in the fact that you’re a lemmygrad user. However, it’s a common occurrence that users from that instance will argue in bad faith regularly. You fit the shoe. So I’m calling it how I see it.
Always great to have a conversation with people who will reach for the silliest reason to not address the point being made.
And here we go exactly my point. I DID address the point. You’re twisting the goalpost so hard that it might be a basketball hoop now.
I know you have seen there was a link in my comment.
The link is irrelavent because you made a claim that I deny the embargo. Which I categorically did not. You are effectively calling me a liar with a source that does not back up the claim. If you actually look up what the embargo terms are… Cuba cannot take or give credit to any US company. It also cannot operate in USD on the basis of credit to any other company operating in USD.

What this means is Cuba CAN make purchases from the US as long as it has the capital. This is why US makes up 6.6% of Cuba total imports. Because Cuba CAN purchase stuff from the US. And does so quite often. Don’t believe me? here… https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/documents/technology-evaluation/ote-data-portal/country-analysis/3124-2021-statistical-analysis-of-u-s-trade-with-cuba/file But this is the point of my “toothless” statement… It’s not a full embargo from the get-go. We DO trade with them. To me that’s a toothless embargo.
