Joe Biden on Cuba: Huh?
U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, asked if the U.S. was going to drop the embargo [blockade] on Cuba, responded "No." But then he said:
"We think that Cuban people should determine their own fate and they should be able to live in freedom and have some prospect of economic prosperity."Huh? If they should determine their own fate, shouldn't they be free of extrnal factors like the blockade? And if Biden wants them to have some prospect of economic prosperity, wouldn't the first thing to do to be to end the decades-long U.S. economic war aimed at damaging that very prosperity?
