    Our history with Cuba is shameful, and it’s complete hypocrisy calling them a “sponsor of terrorism” when the CIA literally sponsored terrorism there and we attempted to assassinate Castro or overthrow their government countless times. All of their economic problems are blamed on “communism” despite the massive US embargo and our continued threatening of other countries that do trade with them. Then we get opinion pieces like Opinion: Mexico shamefully joins Russia, Venezuela in backing Cuba’s dictatorship when the UN almost unanimously votes against the embargo again, like they have for 30 years now.

      it’s complete hypocrisy

      Don’t forget that the US recently literally tortured people in Cuba, and are still illegally imprisoning people there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp

        Yeah, I used past tense in my comment but the US is still doing a ton of unethical shit (both in Cuba and elsewhere), a lot of which I’m sure we don’t hear about.
