It hasn't worked?



No. There is still a Castro in office. If the point wasn't in a long term ending of the regime, what exactly was the point of the embargo?


Which countries have nationalized our companies and gotten away with it since Cuba did it?


Venezuela. Bolivia. Peru. Chile. Guyana. Jamaica.

Punishment.
