    Not really the USA’s job to make sure that the citizens of another country are prepared for a pandemic.

    How about… and this might sound far-fetched… but you make your own plans for things? You know… since you’re a sovereign communist country and all.

    Edit: and any plan that’s ultimately “rely on the USA”… well now you know that’s probably a bad plan.

      Or we could just life the embargo and allow them to trade with the countries we have strong armed into not trading with them.

      We have deliberately crippled the Cuban economy and are surprised they’re asking us to stop.

        They are not blocked from trading with other countries. Quite the contrary other countries trade regularly with Cuba.
