They kinda don’t taste the same.

You’re comparing the political agency of people in a democracy with those in an open air prison?

Sorry, I think that “you” was left over from a longer sentence I shortened. I should’ve changed it to “they”. But I don’t get why you’re being so aggressive, anyway.

So you’re admitting the embargo isn’t working and you should change tactics? Maybe stop giving the dictator more propaganda points by making Cubans suffer instead of only stopping them from making more weapons. Also, have you gone to Cuba or are you making that conclusion based on what you’re exposed to in the US?

It used to exist for a good reason, the reason have dried up after decades of non-changing conditions. It’s about time to stop punishing the people of Cuba for the actions of their dictators. You want to limit imports of weapons and weapon materials, go ahead, but the current oil restriction is simply non-justifiable.

Telling the people who are suffering under the direct action of the United States to not hate the United States is like telling Palestinians to not hate Israel or Ukraine to not hate Russia. Instead of advocating for fixing or reducing the source of the problem, you’re telling the victims to fix their attitude, instead.

Where did I advocate for a dictatorship? Instead, I’m simply saying normalising a despot that dreams of becoming a dictator is wrong.

Embargoing Cuba didn’t end the dictatorship and only made the people suffer, and normalising relations with the US right now won’t solve that, given how many times the US have attacked their closest allies right now.

Cuba have also not shown they have the capacity to threaten the US right now, so the best thing is for the world to say no to the US instead of telling Cuba to suck up to them.

While you said you’re talking about the US in the third person, your arguments are certainly rooted in the perspective of an American.

This one.

The best thing for Cubans right now is to turn away from the will of China and Russia, to foster good relations with the USA like the many other nations in the Americas have, so that normal trade relations can happen and their people can prosper.

At this moment in time, to tell people to foster good relations with the US while they act belligerently across the globe, sounds a bit like normalising the US’s actions.

Then, I think you need to reword some of your comments, since most of it sounds like you’re arguing from the US point of view, mostly due to the normalisation of the US as the voice of reason in this topic. From an outsider’s point of view, the US has no right to continue embargoing Cuba decades after the conflict has already ended.

I assumed by “we” and the “authorities” you meant the US, given how you’ve been arguing this whole thread from the American point of virew.

Maybe the US should be dragged out of the judge’s seat, since they’ve been shown to have no capacity to be an impartial judge. Stop trying to act as if the US policing the world is a normal thing or even a good thing to bow down to.

They don’t. This one is on Microsoft.

But the thinking model, you know, also uses a lot more power. The solution is simply to use local models that can think, but of course that has become even more out of reach now thanks to AI companies.

Why they’re banned is not about how bad it smells directly, but about how long the smell lasts in the room even after you take it out, and how much worse it becomes before it disappears.

It’s an American plane, so I guess it’s saying OK because it can’t afford the ambulance fees.
