Please cite me where I state that I support this policy?

You excused it by blaming it on Cuba. There's no meaningful difference between that and support. Any worthwhile take on the embargo starts with ending it immediately, and you can't even manage that.

And sure, I would support sanctions against Nazi Germany. But until Cuba turns fascist, invades its neighbors, and starts a genocide, it's nowhere near a situation where sanctions are appropriate.

I'm sure you have some kind of a source for such an outlandish claim. How much time do you spend looking at the compensation of Cuban politicians?

You're going to bat for the collective punishment of the Cuban people. When is the collective punishment of civilians appropriate in your mind?

You're also supporting a policy that has failed to achieve its stated result for 65 years. What other long-term policy failures do you support?

Lmao waste your time? You're on a shitposting forum, you're doing that yourself.

I didn't pose any hypotheticals, I pointed out that your weepy moralizing over the idea of endangering spies is ludicrous.

No, but the statement we are discussing

I don't care about impossible thought experiments

But even in your case of letting all the spies be killed to save one civilian, it would in the end result in more dead civilians because if a country does that to its own spies, nobody will want to be a spy for them anymore

Ridiculous from top to bottom.

First, you're taking the U.S. at its word that there was anyone on its side in real danger. There is no reason to trust the U.S., and many reasons to think they're lying -- they're fighting a proxy war against Russia, after all.

Second, it's laughable to take the premise of additional intelligence possibly endangering some spy and turning that into "this would kill all U.S. spies."

Finally, the U.S. has fucked over countless lackeys in the past and will continue to do so. Dying for your country is what these people already signed up for, and there will be more meat for the grinder whatever happens to a spy here or there, because of a million reasons, but mostly because who the hell is telling recruits about some active spy that gets burned?

  1. Spies who signed up to die if necessary
  2. Civilians

Pretty sure my morals are just fine if I pick 2 when push comes to shove

Congress has voted to fund genocide a bunch too, you fucking doorknob

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (8 children)

Use your words

Biden is supporting genocide. Supporting Biden is supporting genocide.

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago (10 children)

Is your point that Congress also supports genocide? Or...?

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago (13 children)

Biden bypassed Congress to fund genocide
