That was exactly my point. Why single out Cuba for sanctions when the US has normal relations with countries that have sketchier track records.

- sremani 8y agoCuba is treated different because Cuba is close to HOME. The only time US was close to a nuclear war and main-land invasion was when Cuba gave their enemy a foot hold. I would be mad, if US civilian and military did not treat Cuba or any other Caribbean Island differently from the countries on Eurasian land mass.
- amaccuish 8y agoAnd Japan did Pearl Harbour, so what? The idea that you apply sanctions for historical reasons is absurd. Further, the US actually tried to invade Cuba (but of course Cuba has no right to feel threatened by the US...)
- sremani 8y ago>> And Japan did Pearl Harbour, so what? Japan did Pearl Harbour .. but you left out Hiroshima and Nagasaki! >> The idea that you apply sanctions for historical reasons is absurd. Cuba was 90 miles away from mainland US in 1960s and in 2018 too. Its not historical, its geographic and geo-political with historic context. US has a harsh embargo on Cuba because it is too close to US. If Cuba was adversarial and is 1000 miles away, the relationship would have been different.
- Symbiote 8y agoSo why does the US have a harsh embargo on DPRK?
- lordlimecat 8y agoI think the point is that Cuba is adversarial in large part because of the US's hostility towards it.
