“In sum, the proof is long in: Record tourism and foreign investment into Cuba = record repression for the Cuban people. Plainly observable proof blew the “libertarian” pipe-dream to smithereens years ago. Alas, these dogmatists never bothered to poke their nose from behind their books on economic theory to observe the real world.
Every shred of observable evidence proves that travel to Cuba and business with its Stalinist mafia enriches and entrenches these KGB-trained, heavily-armed and terror-sponsoring custodians of Cuba’s economy. Thus they remain the most highly motivated guardians of Cuba’s Stalinist and terror-sponsoring status quo.
For anyone genuinely interested in the matter, proof of the so-called embargo’s success is as obvious as proof of Obama’s perfidy in everything from Benghazi to health care. Indeed, it clobbers you on the head. To wit: Getting these sanctions lifted has been the Stalinist, mass-murdering, war-mongering, terror-sponsoring, U.S.-hating, kleptocratic Castro regime’s overriding obsession for half a century.
Actually think about it for a second: If Castro “secretly favors the embargo, because it gives him an excuse … blah … blah” (as Rand Paul bloviates), then why did every one of Castro’s secret agents campaign secretly and obsessively against the embargo while working as secret agents?”
