It already does that. Hell, at least we're not like Russia who invades and annexes territory because they want to keep a naval base but not pay rent.

Cigars and Rum baby! Cigars and Rum!“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.â€

Those US companies were likely engaged in, or complicit to, the capitalist rape of Cuba under the corrupt US lapdog, Batista. Castro et al merely took back what was Cuba's in the first place.
Back in power, Batista suspended the 1940 Constitution and revoked most political liberties, including the right to strike. He then aligned with the wealthiest landowners who owned the largest sugar plantations, and presided over a stagnating economy that widened the gap between rich and poor Cubans.[5] Batista's increasingly corrupt and repressive government then began to systematically profit from the exploitation of Cuba's commercial interests, by negotiating lucrative relationships with the American mafia, who controlled the drug, gambling, and prostitution businesses in Havana, and with large multinational American corporations that had invested considerable amounts of money in Cuba.[5][6] To quell the growing discontent amongst the populace—which was subsequently displayed through frequent student riots and demonstrations—Batista established tighter censorship of the media, while also utilizing hisanti-Communist secret police to carry out wide-scale violence, torture and public executions; ultimately killing anywhere from 1,000 to 20,000 people.[7][8] For several years until 1959, the Batista government received financial, military, and logistical support from the United States.[9]"Aha, you must have supported the Iraq war and wear underpants made out of firearms, just like every other American!"

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostI'm basically against embargoes. If we want to take down a regime, we should use bullets, not trade. Trade has never worked. Whereas taking down other peoples' governments is basically why we have bullets. If we aren't willing to use bullets, maybe it's not so important after all.
