Why do libs always rush to defend abhorrent things with “🤓👆but achtually it’s technically not illegal”.
And in any case, according to the unanimous vote (sans US and Israel ofc) in the UN every year, the blockade is illegal and a violation of the UN Charter.
Treaty of Westphalia brain: Foreigners can’t tell a ruler what to do in their country". I think this premise was rejected, in theory, after WWI/WWII.
The rebuttal to that adulation of power and legality is simple: Bring up the legality of Jim Crow, Apartheid, slavery, Nuremburg Laws & Third Reich. Legality and national sovereignty has its limits, and the adulation of either is not sacrosanct and is malleable to the cultivation and protection of human development and quality of life.
Idk, Cleverdawny/lemm.ee is probably an anti-communist using tortured logic as justification to torment Cuba rather than an honest yet misguided conclusion.
