    The blockade is bad and it‘s great they brought some goods to Cuba. Your link doesn’t show what they actually brought though.

      I actually don’t believe that you believe this.

        Of course a campist isn’t able to understand that. People I don’t like or disagree with do good things sometimes.

        The blockade of Cuba is bad for Cuba and the USA. Most other countries trade freely with Cuba.

        Cuba poses zero threat to the US. The times when Cuba tried to export the revolution are over. Venezuela was their last attempt and it had pretty bad outcomes. The blockade has proven ineffective in fostering regime change in Cuba as well.

        Commerce between the USA and Cuba is the best chance to improve the lives of Cubans. I think the blockade is one of the main ideological reasons the communists have that keep them in power.

        The only reason the USA still has the blockade is the exile Cubans in the swing state Florida.

          Funny that I have you tagged as “Hasbara” and I remember exactly why.

          This user is a mouthpiece for Israeli propaganda (whether purposely or not). Check out their post history for yourself.

      The FAQ in my link says what the organization expects participants to bring. Here in Hasan’s video you can see him talk about the supplies that they are bringing with (1:23 in the video).

        Thank you for the link. It looks like around 20 cardboard boxes of aid are shown for a few seconds in the video.

        Better than nothing I guess.

          If he had dedicated any more time to the aid he brought, people would be calling him a self-important narcissist. Instead, he dedicated most of the video to giving Cubans a voice that they otherwise wouldn’t have.

          I guarantee this aid convoy brought much more aid than Hasan showed in his video. He said that they were the last leg of it.

          Hasan is not a perfect guy. There are valid criticisms of him. But he is actually doing a good thing here. I don’t understand why you are reflexively downplaying it and shifting the goal posts.
