Nothing more “democratic” than giving the choice between regime change and worsening sanctions during a fucking pandemic, sanctions which have contributed to thousands of deaths already.

By the way, if you’re wondering what this “freedom” is actually about, the CIA admits its goals with sanctions in a document about sanctions in Cuba:

As you can see, according to the CIA itself, the US publicly states its goals are humanitarian, but in reality exist to discredit and strangle nations until they are unable to defend themselves. This goes against the common narrative—“socialism is hated, weak, and bound to collapse”. Just some things to think about this lovely Sunday afternoon.
