Sanctions are always meant as collective punishment, it’s a siege warfare tactic. The goal is to torture innocent Cuban people for not overthrowing their government, starve them until they have no choice but to destroy the revolution. America has even directly admitted it:
That is not entirely true. It depends on the kinds of sanctions. This is why modern sanctions have shifted from punishing the citizens in hope of them rising against the regime to pin targeting the leaders and the ruling class.
The catastrophe and starvation in Iraq (I think it was Iraq) changed how sanctions were used.
How so?

This is the same policy as in Gaza, to starve the people until they turn their backs on the enemy.

Does that have fucking anything to do with Cuba?
Well you claimed that sanctions always are meant as a collective punishment?
Sanctions on economies are collective punishment.
You’ve sidestepped the problem, which is that there is a siege war being saved on Cuba and they’ve done nothing to deserve it.
Can you elaborate on how modern sanctions have materially changed from how they were pre-Iraq?
