    The part where significant trade is blocked, the land dispute part, the viewed as hostile nation part, the part about attempting regime change, and the part about trying to prevent refugees from coming in all seem pretty similar. The only thing missing is an actual war…

      I disagree. The US would have had to successfully invade Cuba (with the benediction of the international powers), displace its population to a couple of corners of Cuba while replacing them with Americans, and then continuously oppressing them. Oh and occasionally taking more bits of Cuban land for Americans.

      And that’s not even including the religious powderkeg the region represents for not one, not two but three major religions. It would take some extra mental gymnastics to claim the ownership of Cuba to “the chosen people” in the Old Testament.

        I don’t think you understand the concept of an analogy.

      It’s vastly different, even at the height of the Cuban missile crisis the US wasn’t blockading Cuba to prevent food and medicine getting in.
