Numbers 2, 3, and 4 wouldn’t even cost the US government or Americans anything. Literally just “stop being assholes to Cubans, Venezuelans, and Mexicans living in the US” and of course the US will reject this.
If anything, by their own ideology it should benefit us. A freer market with more competition.
LMAO, the ideology is so dishonest too. The day the US participates in a fair competition is the day the US loses.
The US sanctioned Vietnam after it kicked Americans’ asses, and it plunged Vietnam into even further desolation until they were forced to open up and enforced more capitalistic policies. They could’ve done the same with Cuba, but just like how the west will never forgive the USSR for defeating fascism in Europe, the US will never forgive Cuba for defeating US imperialism underneath its nose.
It costs the US the most valuable thing it has, hegemony, which is why we won't see it in our lifetimes unless quite a few things change.
Not even that, it saves the US money. Unironically, if the US was a smarter capitalist country, they'd lift the embargo and just try to cause Cuba to undergo another glasnost and perestroika by simply having capitalism prove itself.
But of course, this means corporations would have to be in it for the long haul, and they're too addicted to instant gratification to even avert a climate catastrophe.
