Its still absurd Cuba is under sanctions. The foreign policy of the US is so horrendous
All because of a small constituency in one state that’s not a swing state any more.
I’m sure most republican politicians would support it.
It’s* still absurd

Not even the CIA believes it was the fault of Cuba “In January 2022, the Central Intelligence Agency issued an interim assessment concluding that the syndrome is not the result of “a sustained global campaign by a hostile power”. Foreign involvement was ruled out in 976 cases of the 1,000 reviewed”
Also the embargo started way before 2016 so what weird point you have there to try and justify the richest government in the world punishing one of the poorest countries while it also bombs countless other countries.

Lack of milk in Cuba, a recurring problem, unlike most all caribbean countries
I wonder if there’s anything different that would cause it to be harder for them to import things.
It couldn’t be a trade issue with one of the biggest milk exporters I’m sure
Communist countries don’t handle these things well.
If cuba wasn’t under sanctions, the playing field would be level. Yet you still blame it on communism as if it’s the only reason.
And they still wouldn’t have enough milk.
Source?
Then why the embargo? Surely communism would ruin the country enough on its own and they could just lift it…
There’s no embargo on food
There’s an embargo on literally everything else that makes it hard to get food, including they have difficulty even transferring money, or getting the parts and machines to grow their own food, or oil to run them.
Not at all. Nice try though. If you want to buy them milk, the barges leave the US twice a week. I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.

Lift the inhumane blockade and sanctions on Cuba already.
There is no blockade or sanctions on food.
So what do countries need to get that food then? And what is stopping them from getting it? Couldn’t it be that inhumane sanctions are causing a financial disaster and by extension people can’t afford to import the things they need?
In Cuba, the state buys the commodities and provides them to the people. The people get ration books that allows them to obtain various goods. For milk, I think the rule is that nobody over 7 gets any. Communist countries aren’t very good at planning for these kind of things. Remember when Venezuela ran out of toilet paper? So, the answer to your question is perhaps budget correctly, not spend as much on their military etc, and purchase milk instead.
And yet that still doesn’t justify the inhumane sanctions
What sanction is inhumane?
Can’t answer yourself? Just something that blames the lack of money? That’s inhumane? I’ve been to most Caribbean countries, and none of them are wealthy.
I think it’s amazing to see peole blame the US for Cuba’s problems.
