The humanitarian impact of this embargo is just one of the many stains on the USA that can never be removed.

#12It's not like one needs to say blames here, as if it's just an accusation and there could be another cause for that. We also have no reason to doubt that Cuba has run out of fuel as a result of an embargo on fuel when the officials say so. It's not a surprise; it was the expected outcome and the entire point of the embargo. A better title would be: "Cuba jas run out of fuel due to the US embargo".

The US started the Oil Embargo and AFAIK it is still on-goimg. Cuba is running out of fuel. To me 2+2=4, so I say blame can be placed on the US :)

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
can't have communists in the western hemisphere. They give up authoritarian communism, we will be magnanimous.
Communism must be absolutely incredible for such a small country to be such a threat to a superpower.
We must rhetorically cast our enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak."[1]

#16What we're doing to the Cuban people with this blockade is criminal. I don't expect to see justice in my lifetime. What a miserable state of affairs.

I believe the person you're replying to is criticizing the choice of title, by noting that the phrase "blames" is suggestive that there might be other causes, when there clearly is not (which they agree with you about).

#18From the perspective of a layman, isn't this bullying? Don't we suppose to have the UN where nations.. unite?

The point is the headline makes it this subjective accusation for Cuba, rather than, you know, a cause and effect thing.
