Democrats flipped both chambers of Congress on Tuesday, delivering a stunning rebuke to Donald Trump and opening the possibility for a showdown over his administration’s economic war on Cuba.
With their new majorities and control over congressional committees, Democrats could pursue legislation ending Trump’s oil blockade, prohibit funding for unauthorized military operations and advance measures to ease or repeal economic sanctions.
The election results also cast doubt on the conventional wisdom about the political risks of opposing the embargo, including in Florida, where Cuba hardliners have long wielded enormous influence.
The fact that the international community is allowing this is atrocious. USA can do whatever without repercussions, no matter how evil.
This has to stop, USA needs to be held accountable for their actions, just like we would with any other country.
Don’t DON’T buy American!! For christ sake why isn’t this obvious to everybody around the world?That’s why I’m terrified of America invading other countries and nothing being done about it.
An alarming number of people, in all countries, and still maddeningly oblivious to any of the fucked up things happening and there will probably still be oblivious people no matter what
Absolutely, the Iran attacks are clearly illegal, and the highest level of international resistance USA is meeting, is that some countries are reluctant to help!!!
Most of the world is worried about how China will behave when they become #1 and USA is no longer any match to them, and we are showing them that they too can behave like shit when they have the power.
The rest of the usa was eating from american imperialism
That blockade has survived numerous Dem presidencies and Congresses. I wouldn’t hold my breath.
That was a US-only trade embargo. The blockade is a full on physical interdiction of Cuba preventing anyone from trading with or supplying them. That’s only been going on over the last year.
Ah! I completely forgot about that bullshit. It has been a lot.
It’s hard to keep track of the myriad ways this administration has fucked over the world in only two years. Feels like a decade.
