#62The US is not going to lift these restrictions. Why would they? If you live in these terrible places, I’m sorry, but you need to start fighting at home.

You might be killed just for peaceful protest or if you’re government suspects…

Armed. Definitely, the US was meant.

And by what logic exactly does the US have the right to "push for freedom" in foreign countries? Why do people from such countries have to doubly suffer, because not one but two governments are fucking them up?
BTW you're literally advocating against freedom.

Do the trade restrictions just mean they must refrain from engaging in monetary transactions? Continuing to offer various free services would be nice.
