I did a quick google search and the only website I could find that seemed to back up that story was Marco Rubio's page, I hardly consider that a reliable source.

And gee, I bet the Cuban government would be far more inclined to negotiate extraditions with us if we weren't destroying their economy with a trade embargo.

the usa embargo of cuba is a scam of the highest degree nt msongs Oct 2024 #1

I think you mean embargo, there is no blockade which is a act of war EX500rider Oct 2024 #9

yes thanks for the correction nt msongs Oct 2024 #11

As always, it's useful to acknowledge the word "Bloqueo" (blockade) has been in use from the first Judi Lynn Oct 2024 #39

Sure I acknowledge some people use the incorrect term EX500rider Oct 2024 #40

As long as they have communist planned economy they will always have these issues EX500rider Oct 2024 #10

And the Republic of Texas? Nasruddin Oct 2024 #13

I would Google the average income in Texas versus Cuba EX500rider Oct 2024 #14

You're making my point for me Nasruddin Oct 2024 #18

The point is a planned economy never works as Cuba demonstrates EX500rider Oct 2024 #19

Texas had some unusual cold weather issues but they make enough power EX500rider Oct 2024 #22

So ... this isn't weather related, am I right? FakeNoose Oct 2024 #12
