@mihamarkic@mastodon.social @royaards@newsie.social Precisely.I was using the example to show that what the US is doing is actual murder. They are actively killing Cubans - without having been attacked by them.EU sanctions against Ukraine are indeed a different kind of thing. They may not be effective enough, but ultimately they're a weapon too - an economic weapon. The same kind of people are killed by it, so it'd be hypocritical to support sanctions while being against weapons shipments on the grounds "but these weapons KILL".As such, what the US are doing is not much different from actually launching missiles to hit Cuba. If one is justified, so is the other.The only difference is how one feels. That civilians in Cuba die because the government does not distribute the little that is left so regular low end citizens can get it is, after all, seen as their fault, not the US's. So the US have no blood on their hands, right? Wrong. The US knew the blockade will have precisely this effect, and thus are morally precisely at the same point as if they had launched missiles.
