The current regime could end the embargo right away by choosing a democratic future.
- sudosysgen 5y agoNo, it could not. The real standard for ending the embargo is aligning with American geopolitical goals. The US doesn't embargo undemocratic states, it embargoes geopolitical enemies. That's the one and only standard. The US is quite happy to trade with undemocratic states if they do align with US interests though.

Not if a basically Communist (or otherwise ideologically oe geopolitically unacceptable to the US, but that's the most likely example in this case) regime won democratically, as the US has shown time and again (and also shown that right-wing authoritarian-capitalist anti-democratic regimes are not ideologically unacceptable, and are tolerable if willing to geopolitically align with the US.)
