    Life expectancy under this regime is 79.4 and rising --- in the U.S., it's 79.4 and dropping.

      Not sure if you're just trying to be edgy, but hundreds of thousands of Cubans have fled to the US over the past few years. Not very many have gone the other way.

        yes, but did you consider that maybe, just maybe, that a lot less of these cubans would have fled to the US without the embargo ?

      That’s false. There was a dip during the onset of the pandemic but now it is at an all time high.

    Maybe try something new. Lift the embargo and let the regime fail by itself after 66 years of this. 66 Years.

    A 2023 study by the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights estimated that 88% of the population lives in extreme poverty.[28] According to the World Food Programme of the United Nations, rationed food meets only a fraction of daily nutritional needs for many Cubans, leading to health issues.[29] Ongoing since 1960, the United States embargo against Cuba stands as one of the longest-running trade and economic measures in bilateral relations in history.[30]

    The U.S. government influences extraterritorial trade with Cuba. The embargo has faced international criticism for its adverse impact on Cubans, including by the United Nations who have formally condemned it intermittently since 1992.

      How does their death toll compare to the 145 million people murdered by communists so far?

        So it’s okay for the US to starve the Cubans to death since decades ?
