    The Russian population in the USA isn’t demanding we embargo Russia whereas it is Cuban-Americans leading that charge in FL.

    Edit changed Cubans to Cuban-Americans as TheDankHold pointed out my error.

      Cuban-Americans are americans. They’re not citizens of Cuba. And just because a minority wants an embargo on another country doesn’t mean you should just play world police. That’s not your place to decide who trades with whom. If you don’t wanna do trade with them, then don’t.

      It is actually Americans leading that charge, they’ve been here long enough to qualify as Americans first and foremost imo. And that doesn’t mean anything regardless, how do the citizens that live on the island feel about the embargo?

        Thanks I edited my comment to reflect the necessary change.

        Why should Cubans determine the policy of other countries? Do I get a say in how Cuba does business?

        Im not asking those flippantly. What you are suggesting makes no sense given how reality functions.
