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.
Also lots of banks/organisations are not keen to handle money for Cuba legally and above board because if they make an honest mistake somewhere they can be in a world of trouble.
So you get a Cuban agent with a briefcase full of cash to pay for a leaky boat to transport something like needles for vaccines, and then the USA is like look at these shifty deals it must be terrorist shit.
