A whole bunch of obviously biased reports from the Cuban government's UK propaganda arm and the famously impartial UN. Farcical.
The economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the US
government against Cuba is an act of genocide
According to tankies, everything is a genocide these days (except Putin's very halal spetzoperatsiya, of course), embargoes are blockades, and it's all America's fault. It's actually pretty disappointing reading this propaganda. I wish the embargo was as restrictive and effective as they claim!
> the purchase of Vitek 2 Compact 15 laboratory equipment
Was not actually prohibited by the US. The Canadian company denied the sale on its own. Anyway that is dual-use laboratory equipment ostensibly intended for the benefit of Cuba's biomedical industry, not medical equipment intended for the benefit of patients.
> Antoher report of denial during Covid crisis
That looks like either overly-conservative risk management from a company's own leadership, or else a convenient excuse to redirect supply to the US where ventilators were in high demand and short supply and they could command a premium.
> PS: My origin is irrelevant to the evidence.
Your "evidence" is Cuban government propaganda and your origin is highly relevant to understanding your geopolitical motives. But it's clear enough that you hold a grudge against America, just like the Cuban regime.
I actually think the humanitarian exemptions and light restrictions on foreign vessels trading with Cuba are misguided policies. Half measures are usually ineffective, there's no good reason to provide aid and succor to Cuba, and there's no good reason why we should be lenient with those who do. Nobody has a human right to trade with a country against their will.
Cuba has the sovereign right to give the US the middle finger and the US has the sovereign right to return the favor. Why should we trade at all with a regime that hates us and wishes to see us suffer? Let Cubans grow their own food and diagnose and treat themselves with their own equipment. They can build their own supply chains for their own industries. Your bank wants access to US dollar accounts? Don't transact with Cuba. Your company wants access to the US market? Don't transact with Cuba. You wanna dock your ship in US ports? Don't dock your ship in Cuba.
What I showed was two examples from hundreds of documented examples. Because you asked me for an example of medical equipment being denied instead of figuring it yourself. But you shot down standard facts as "propaganda".
It is clear that no amount of evidence from any source that opposes your belief is valid in your eyes - everything is dismissed in your absolute blindness.
You are unfortunately firmly fixed in the Imperialist mindset. Do note that your nation is the one that is making Cuba suffer constantly. Why else would Cubans hate you ? Your nation is the one that also has a torture base on Cuban soil. Anyone objecting to such needless oppression has a "grudge" against America. Good lord.
