Asked in an exclusive NBC News interview about the recent protests, President Miguel Díaz-Canel lashed out at the U.S. embargo and said they were made to look like "serious events."
So you are saying that the reason they havent lift the sanctions is because they were traumatized by the “red scare” and the cold war as teenagers? Because the cuban missile crisis lasted less than a month.
The threat of a tragedy is not the same as the tragedy itself. Also, that part of my comment was in response to Phlubba stating that the US was threatened by Cuba for 50 years. That is not true.
I dont dismiss or minimize the trauma that the cold war might have caused on some people, but Cuba’s role in it is tiny when compared to that of the US and URSS. Using it to justify 80 years of embargo is absurd.

9/11 lasted less than 2 hours. From first impact to last fall.
I can still remember most every detail of that day.
Mass trauma is like that.
