Love you Mr. Wolff, we are in dire times and the only way out is for the people who do all the work to become conscious of this and take back our rights and power.
Sanctions, embargo, isolation ,sabotage, all resume in one single thing; economic war on the Cuban people or any other nation attempting to build this own economic development project out from capitalism. More than 60 years of permanent bombardment of ideological and economic isolation of the Cuban people had broken that nation's chance to develop.
“Isolation”. You mean we left them alone and didn’t do business with them. Lol. I thought socialism was superior to capitalism. Why do socialists need capitalists to do business with them? Seems like Cuba is what happens when you leave socialism to its own devices.
He's 100% correct about Cuba. But he treads on supporting Russian imperialism by conflating the sanctions against Cuba with the sanctions against Russia. Russia is a capitalist oligarchy, so they don't pose the same threat to the capitalists who impose sanctioning Cuba because they are socialist.
Americans do not think the Cuba Sanctions are important in dropping and Americans dont care about public healthcare for all in 2022, yet Cubans do like their healthcare.
Nationalism is just another form of bigotry. I suggest you meet some Americans, because most are *not* republicans (conservatives) or maga (regressives). Most Americans want a good healthcare system too, and many of us also want socialism because we're not all intrinsically delusional and cowardly bigots.

@@bubbabruh6309 I fail to see how an American detention camp for war criminals on Cuban soil is going to destabilize their economy or overthrow the regime. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if the United States is paying the Cuban government to use their land. I don’t see how else we could be there without a war. Regardless of the supposed intention of the embargo that you think you discovered, nefarious intentions don’t destroy economies. Cuba has been a part of the WTO since 1995, and as such can trade and do business with any country that is willing to trade with Cuba - which they do. In fact, Americas two closest neighbors have trading relationships with Cuba, and I have not heard one word about this causing trouble or controversy. Sorry, the facts are simply not on your side with this issue. I realize that the left is desperate to blame the Cuban economic dumpster fire on the United States. The only alternative explanation would be that socialism is a disaster, and the left will never admit that.
Who is the bully here? The worlds greatest superpower possibly in history or a slowly growing backwater undergoing a absolutely beat down to their economy?
Agree, I have long thought the US embargo on Cuba was counterproductive. I agree with the Russian embargo in response of their invasion of Ukraine. To be consistent I also thought the US should have been sanctioned for invading Iraq and Afghanistan since they were not responsible for 9/11. Interestingly our best buddy Saudi Araba was indirectly responsible for 9/11 because they funded funded extreme religious groups as a way to keep the lid on local dissent.
You should see how all trade with Russia is still going in full swing especially with US companies. There is a TH-cam channel called Travel with Russel or something like that who is showing live in Russia at all retail levels. It looks like western companies use the extra income from price gauging their fellow country people to subsidise Russia.
Polling in the US overwhelmingly agrees with you. It’s presidential politics in the consequential state of Florida and national party figures that play in them that don’t.
Since the U.S. never condemns The State Of Israel's apartheid policies, doesn't it logically follow that the ultra-right in America particularly Cuban Americans would expect that the ultra-right in Israel to follow suit?

that is a misunderstanding of the embargo. The embargo does not stop ships trading with cube. it simply stops ships that have been to cuba from entering the us for a period of 6 months. This doesn't make trade with cuba impossible, simply unpofitable

Cuba is a socialist nation. Therefore, the US cannot let Cuba have free trade. There is a very good chance that Cuba will prosper. The US doesn't want that, because they want people to believe that socialism is bad and can't work.

The Cuban government nationalized (stole) all industries and companies, not just U.S. and foreign owned, but also Cuban owned land and businesses..! All of these businesses were profitable and successful. Millions of dollars were invested to make it so. Yet the Cuban government never compensated anyone! They tried to continue production with all these industries and businesses and failed..! Why? because people cannot live on $20 a month salary. Businesses need constant maintenance and innovation in order to survive and succeed..! Cuba ran everything into the ground..! You cannot blame the U.S. Embargo for all of Cuba's problems. Why did U.S. and many other foreign companies invest so much in Cuba in the first place? Cuba is the largest island in all the Caribbean. It has extremely rich agricultural land and immense mineral wealth..! The Embargo did not take away the rich fertile soil... yet Cuba cannot grow enough food for its small population? Farming is difficult and very labor intensive. When the government mandates that half of your crop must go to the government, limits or prohibits you from selling your remaining crop... Why would any farmer plant more than just enough to live and get by..? I'm glad 185 U.N. member countries voted to end the U.S. Embargo on Cuba..! Currently Cuba trades with hundreds of countries, including the U.S., which makes the "Embargo" basically useless. So I agree, lets put an end to the "Embargo"..! Lets get rid of Cuba's only remaining excuse for all of its failed policies throughout decades of mismanagement..!
I would assume its because nobody likes Israel in middle east and it needs strong ally to survive and because Israeli goverment and republicans in america share their beliefs. Israel doesnt give two fucks about Cuba.
I am all for ending the sanctions against Cuba, and instead creating sanctions against Britain. I really like the Cuban people, they are resilient and friendly. On the other hand, I do not care for the wealthy British parliament, who are nasty, bitter, over entitled, and unfriendly.
Warfare against any and all socialist nations. It is an act of attempted conquest, that has failed for decades. And yet, the US continues to attack the nation economically, purely out of spite.
Yeah so what you should take out of this is if you ever become a head of state never atempt to host missiles of the biggest enemy of the super power you have next door. Because honestly who on earth would let them back into the fold after that? Are you guys serious. Somethings arent moral but strategic.
The missiles were put in Cuba in response to the US stationing Jupiter MRBMs in Turkey. After the USSR removed the missiles from Cuba, the US quietly removed the missiles from Turkey.
If 185 countries think trade with Cuba is so important, why don't they do it themselves? The US has no monopoly on anything Cuba needs to prosper. If Cuba's "business model" was any good, should that not have happened already?
Do you understand the terms of the embargo? Countries can trade with Cuba, but after that their ships cannot enter US ports for 6 months. This makes trading with Cuba harder and less profitable.
Sanctions against Cuba are solely about capitalism vs socialism, because socialism is the greatest threat to the capitalists who own us all (yes, we are all slaves). But the sanctions against Russia are so obviously against Russia's imperialist takeover of a sovereign nation, and I am appalled you conflate the two situations as anywhere near similar in their desired outcome. When you do this bit, it seems you side with Russian imperialism and the mass murder of Ukrainians towards that end.😕
The Cuban government is not a good one. But it no longer seems to undermine its neighbors as it did before. As long as the Cuban regime remains on good behavior, then the trade sanctions should be withdrawn.
Countries could just ignore the US sanctions and even sanction the US itself. The US does not rule the world and it does depend on other countries for food, chip production, lithium, rare metals, car production, banking, etc.

As for the US embargo, now you are just making me laugh. I thought that communism was superior to capitalism, so why would Cuba be poor simply because the US of Capitalist A refuses to do business with it? If communism was superior, the Cubans would not need the money of the American capitalist dogs to prosper. You will need a better excuse for why the Cubans are so poor.

The Cuban government nationalized (stole) all industries and companies, not just U.S. and foreign owned, but also Cuban owned land and businesses..! All of these businesses were profitable and successful. Millions of dollars were invested to make it so. Yet the Cuban government never compensated anyone! They tried to continue production with all these industries and businesses and failed..! Why? because people cannot live on $20 a month salary. Businesses need constant maintenance and innovation in order to survive and succeed..! Cuba ran everything into the ground..! You cannot blame the U.S. Embargo for all of Cuba's problems. Why did U.S. and many other foreign companies invest so much in Cuba in the first place? Cuba is the largest island in all the Caribbean. It has extremely rich agricultural land and immense mineral wealth..! The Embargo did not take away the rich fertile soil... yet Cuba cannot grow enough food for its small population? Farming is difficult and very labor intensive. When the government mandates that half of your crop must go to the government, limits or prohibits you from selling your remaining crop... Why would any farmer plant more than just enough to live and get by..? I'm glad 185 U.N. member countries voted to end the U.S. Embargo on Cuba..! Currently Cuba trades with hundreds of countries, including the U.S., which makes the "Embargo" basically useless. So I agree, lets put an end to the "Embargo"..! Lets get rid of Cuba's only remaining excuse for all of its failed policies throughout decades of mismanagement..!

Thank you, Mr., for always the seat on the truth people who sit on the lies will pops the lies
Why is Israel against Cuba?
They're satanic just like their daddy
Us and Israel are typically hand in hand
Why is Israel killing Palestinians?? There is your answer..
I would assume its because nobody likes Israel in middle east and it needs strong ally to survive and because Israeli goverment and republicans in america share their beliefs.
Israel doesnt give two fucks about Cuba.
Because Israel is a US colony
Funny how I never hear about this on network news, NPR or PBS.
They vote for it but they don't do anything because they don't really care about Cuba.
I am all for ending the sanctions against Cuba, and instead creating sanctions against Britain. I really like the Cuban people, they are resilient and friendly. On the other hand, I do not care for the wealthy British parliament, who are nasty, bitter, over entitled, and unfriendly.
Viva EMBARGO
And still, their hearts were hardened.
Huh?
@@bluewater454 Means they got balls of steel
I was born in Cuba, and this guy is clueless about the situation in Cuba.unless you were born in Cuba, and under communism, just keep your mouth shut.
What were the reasons adduced by USA for imposing it? Where they real or just deceit?
Warfare against any and all socialist nations. It is an act of attempted conquest, that has failed for decades.
And yet, the US continues to attack the nation economically, purely out of spite.
@@DukeOnkled But i mean the real documented reasons, what are they? i truly dont know
communism
President Fidel Castro refused to bow and kiss the Americans. That's it !
Lesson learned is not to do business with US and doing nusiness others than US dollars.
You need to educate yourselves more about Cuba.
Spittin' straight facts!
perhaps we could declare usa 'outlaw.' a charming custom which removes usa people from protection by the law, outside usa.
today is the day
Yeah so what you should take out of this is if you ever become a head of state never atempt to host missiles of the biggest enemy of the super power you have next door.
Because honestly who on earth would let them back into the fold after that? Are you guys serious. Somethings arent moral but strategic.
Ok gusano
Oh well ,I thought that the u.s. cared about the sovereignty of others countries,that’s what they say to Ukraine….Hello american hypocrisy !
The missiles were put in Cuba in response to the US stationing Jupiter MRBMs in Turkey. After the USSR removed the missiles from Cuba, the US quietly removed the missiles from Turkey.
@@rhumal The US didn't quietly remove the missiles out of Turkey, that was the OVERT agreement between the USSR and the USA to cool tensions.
If 185 countries think trade with Cuba is so important, why don't they do it themselves? The US has no monopoly on anything Cuba needs to prosper. If Cuba's "business model" was any good, should that not have happened already?
Do you understand the terms of the embargo? Countries can trade with Cuba, but after that their ships cannot enter US ports for 6 months. This makes trading with Cuba harder and less profitable.
@@sulaimation6253 So countries that depend on the us cant do crap
BDS Israel.
Sanctions against Cuba are solely about capitalism vs socialism, because socialism is the greatest threat to the capitalists who own us all (yes, we are all slaves). But the sanctions against Russia are so obviously against Russia's imperialist takeover of a sovereign nation, and I am appalled you conflate the two situations as anywhere near similar in their desired outcome. When you do this bit, it seems you side with Russian imperialism and the mass murder of Ukrainians towards that end.😕
You really need to watch Oliver Stones film Ukraine on Fire, if you had , you would edit your comment really fast. One last Word. Donbass.
Noam Chomsky has used the phrase "The threat of a good idea" to describe the sanctions against Cuba.
Lol so much for democracies
The Cuban government is not a good one.
But it no longer seems to undermine its neighbors as it did before.
As long as the Cuban regime remains on good behavior, then the trade sanctions should be withdrawn.
Countries could just ignore the US sanctions and even sanction the US itself. The US does not rule the world and it does depend on other countries for food, chip production, lithium, rare metals, car production, banking, etc.
Yet everyday year these Hypocritical Americans go on vacations in Cuba
Ok, so a few Americans every year defy the ban on travel to Cuba.
And…?
@@bluewater454 They flock to the same country their government is illegally chocking to death, a government voted in by Americans.
The fact you can't see the hypocrisy is in itself a part of the problem.
@@KBTadieh No, I don’t see it. Not everyone votes, not everyone votes for the ones who are in charge, and to be honest not everyone cares. Cuba honestly isn’t first on our list of priorities. Maybe it’s more the responsibility of the Cuban people to vote out their government and improve their own lives. They do have elections, right?
Just a thought.
@@bluewater454 they have a very robust democratic system with an average voter turn out of >95 %. On top of that, the communist party does not actually rule Cuba, it just does community service. The reason Cuba is so poor is because of the Embargo, not the government.
@@sulaimation6253 Sure comrade. Thanks for the communist propaganda sales pitch. You might want to try that pitch on someone who doesn’t know any better though. I have met Cubans who escaped from the communist workers paradise to our south who might have a slightly different take on the role of the communist party in Cuba.
As for the US embargo, now you are just making me laugh. I thought that communism was superior to capitalism, so why would Cuba be poor simply because the US of Capitalist A refuses to do business with it? If communism was superior, the Cubans would not need the money of the American capitalist dogs to prosper. You will need a better excuse for why the Cubans are so poor.
