Life expectancy under this regime is 79.4 and rising --- in the U.S., it's 79.4 and dropping.

Even if you ignore the dip, it’s hard to call the situation “an all time high”. But maybe you have other sources ?

Not sure if you're just trying to be edgy, but hundreds of thousands of Cubans have fled to the US over the past few years. Not very many have gone the other way.

yes, but did you consider that maybe, just maybe, that a lot less of these cubans would have fled to the US without the embargo ?

How does their death toll compare to the 145 million people murdered by communists so far?

So it’s okay for the US to starve the Cubans to death since decades ?

Only if we count them as deaths caused by communism, of course.
