  • The “Cuban model” has worked well considering the decades-long embargo it has placed on a country that hasn’t been a material threat to the US since the Cuban missile crisis.

    That being said, a modern economy simply cannot function without international trade: what of things like medical supplies that require metals and chemicals only found in some countries? What about fuel? What about semiconductors?

    Not only that, but Cuba has to pay a LOT more than other countries to access those basic necessities of modern living, because the US embargo essentially bans OTHER countries from trading with the US if they dare to dock with Cuba first.
