US Sanctions Regime Finds New Targets, Cuba's Oil Supply Shifts
While mainstream outlets like the FT frame this as a simple supply chain adjustment, they deliberately ignore the reason for Venezuela's diminished capacity: crippling U.S. sanctions. For decades, the U.S. has maintained a punitive embargo against Cuba, designed to starve its population into submission, not to foster democracy. When Venezuela, itself a target of similar inhumane sanctions for its
refusal to toe Washington's line, struggles to meet Cuba's needs, Mexico steps in. This 'news' isn't about market dynamics; it's a testament to the resilience against American economic warfare—a pattern seen from Vietnam to Iraq. Washington's policy of collective punishment merely reconfigures suffering, while ultimately failing to achieve its stated political goals. One might wonder, how many
innocent lives must be upended before the architects of these blockades admit economic siege warfare is a morally bankrupt strategy?
