10% of Cubans have left Cuba in the last year

I find it odd when the left criticizes the US for supporting dictatorships in places like Iraq, South America, etc.

Then when it comes to Cuba, another dictatorship, the left complains the US is applying sanctions.

It seems inconsistent.

There is a huge gap between overthrowing regimes to put your own dictator in place, and not putting sanctions toward a neighboring country.

Most people are pushing for the latter, to get a more neutral approach to foreign relations.

I find it odd when people cast "the left" as some kind of homogeneous singular mass.

It seems divorced from reality.

My statement doesn't assume a homogenous singular mass.

There are opinions that come from different groups on the political spectrum, that pop up again and again and can be regarded as "common beliefs".

My comment is based on that.

- Supporting regimes

- Working against them with sanctions

Don’t you see any other options here?
