What 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.

It might be legal but it also seems immoral.
Earlier 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.
They care a lot about Cuba being "open door communist bros" with the USSR, and now with China.
If China moves on Taiwan, and the US moves to defend, and then a bunch of Chinese missiles hit the East Coast, people will wonder what the government was doing letting China set up camp right on our door step.

No. The fact that the Cuban authorities s decided that further impoverishing Cuba is worth preserving their single-party communist regime demonstrates that it is indeed a bad government.
It's not the Cuban authorities that are impoverishing Cuba, that's just victim blaming. It is American imperialism, at least stand by your crimes.

The US is not enforcing a blockade, it's an embargo. The US and other countries are refusing to trade with Cuba, but plenty of other countries can and do trade with Cuba. Cuba is not entitled to trade with the US. A blockade is when a country stops traffic, from entering a country's ports. It's an act of war, and a totally different thing from an embargo.
It’s also in fact preventing ships carrying oil to reach the island, using their military, I wonder if there is a term for that.

Oh, so USA is only forcing their trade partners to embargo Cuba! That makes thing better, right?

A boycott is a crime? The US has decided not the trade with Cuba, that's it. Cuba is still free to trade with any other country that's willing to trade with them.

It has taken on distinctly more "blockade-like" attributes.
