  Not sure how some random person on twitter saying "if you think the embargo is bad you don't understand Cuban reality" as a side note is supposed to nullify years of history? The embargo is absolutely part of the context, you can't just wave away an economic boot on Cuba's neck?

    well, he is actually Cuban who lives in US and follows the situation. I am willing to believe his take much more than random dudes from CA. Here's some of his writings on Cuba. https://www.thepullrequest.com/p/the-cuban-tank-man-will-be-an-influencer https://www.thepullrequest.com/p/the-cuban-tank-man-will-be-...

      Look the reality is it doesn’t matter what any of us think about the situation on the ground in Cuba. We do not live in Cuba and therefore cannot understand their lived experiences (neither does a Cuban living in Miami who likely has an ideologically warped perception just as much as any of us). The only thing we as Americans can control is to end an economically devastating embargo. At least then American foreign policy can be completely extracted from any of these questions. It objectively has economic consequences on Cuba, and for this person to just hand wave that away makes me question their integrity.
