The US polecis and action AGAINST CUBA ARE WRONG

First the titel of this debatte is: The US polecis and action AGAINST CUBA ARE WRONG.Not:he US polecis and action AGAINST CUBA ARE and were WRONGThis is unwarranted. You brought up Batista, and I countered it. Also, the premise of the debate is to debate whether or not US policies and actions are wrong. If we determine that they were put in place for the right reasons, and those reasons are still relevant, than the actions are still justified.The reasons to begin the Embargo::The new Cuban Government was Communist;:The new Cuban Government was hostile to US interests and US owned businesses in the area.:Cuba is now Socialist, still an enemy of the US. Cuba is ran solely by the Communist Party;(1):Cuba has yet to return US Interests and Businesses. Cuba is still a threat to US interests in America.Because the actions beginning the Embargo were justified, and are current issues even today, the US is justified.[1] http://www.lexingtoninstitute.org...[]This is was i meant for this debatte and just for the record like you read in my argument that you didnt conter were the polecis.I countered each of your arguments on the policies. Grouping them together and tackling them all in 5 sections that discussed each issue you brought up. I don't know what you were expecting, an individual reply to every sentence? The Pro isn't listing off any example of a policy I ignored, therefore his claim is unwarranted.- Castro still a threat?Cuba is the 11th wealthiest nation in America, out of 35 nations.(2,3) Without the Embargo, Cuba would rise into 10th place. no,the the army'has estimated 45,000 troops included 39,000 members of the Ready Reserves.Cuba has the 4th largest Military per 1000 capita in the world, at 107.8 militants. The nation has the 3rd largest Military in America, at 1.2 million soldiers(4) and is the 13th largest in the world.With this, while not a direct threat to the US, Cuba is a direct threat to other nations in America, with the 4th largest military only having half of Cuba's military size. Cuba doesn't release Military Expenditures. This makes them a threat to the US, as keeping all of America safe is a direct interest for the safety and security of the US. Cuba is still Socialist, ran by the Communist Party. When one removes himself of childish ignorance, they understand that Socialism and Communism is still direct enemies of the US. Russia is still the US's main political rival, and Cuba is a turning point for Russia if a war breaks out.The idea is that what happens in other nations isn't the US's concern is childish and ignorant of reality. The whole World is a concern to First World Nations. We are not isolated, we are a part of the Global Economy, and must protect that fragile economy. This is why the UN tries to prevent so many wars, because revolutions, wars, and the overall negative affects on economy can have a major effect on the other Nations.What happens in America is a major concern to the US, especially since if a political fall out between the US and Russia occur, we do not want a lot of Communist/Socialist nations at our border. The World isn't a story book... Politics isn't a fun game... Global Security isn't always fun for the person you are protecting from. Cuba, and anyone we allow to be consumed by American Communism, will become a major threat if our Soft Power fails.As for your comment:let me see wanting justice is childish?Okay todays society is domed then.Justice isn't always friendly. Justice sometimes comes in the form of a giant stick. The world isn't a child's game, it can't always be played like one.[2] https://www.cia.gov...[3] http://www.worldatlas.com...[4] http://en.wikipedia.org...[]- Support of the PeopleFree healthcare isn't free. It costs hundreds in taxes, and in nations like Cuba, is a further attempt to build dependency and make the people unable to live without Government.The major issues with Cuba's Healthcare system are;— Low pay of doctors.— Poor facilities—buildings in poor state of repair.— Poor provision of equipment.— Frequent absence of essential drugs.— Concern regarding freedom of choice both for patient and doctor.The Government owns the people's health, and health choices. Cuba's Healthcare issues come from it's being nationalized instead of thriving in a business setting. The issue are also not the US's fault. If Cuba ended it's massive Army making up 11% of it's population, it could afford better Healthcare and Education. Same for Food Carts. With such a large military count per person, we know why there is a lack of funding for other programsBesides, these are all features of Socialism. You are using circular logic.The Embargo started because the nation is Communist/Socialist. It hurts the nation's ability to be Communist/Socialist. Therefore, it should be lifted.If the US's Embargo is hurting Socialist programs in Cuba, then it is working.Cuba has a massive Military Budget. lacking funding is their own fault.Cuba also has the support of it's people through repression.... Brainwashing your people is poorly looked upon. Being at a level of 176 (Repressed)(only North Korea is lower), the support of Cuban people is won over through repression, not commitment.(5)[5] http://www.heritage.org...[]-What are the U.S. justification for the embargo?This was a sick form of Appeal To Emotion.The US is not friendly with China. Relations with China are because, as the 2nd largest Economy, Being friendly is more beneficial to the entire world. Being hostile with Cuba is more beneficial to the Americas.We do not keep the Embargo because they are not Democratic, but because their government is a threat to the stability of US interests in America, and they bare close and dangerous ties to the US's lead rival.-Is Cuba a dictatorship?Dictatorship: the office of dictator: autocratic rule, control, or leadership: a form of government in which absolute power is concentrated in a dictator or a small clique: a government organization or group in which absolute power is so concentrated(6)A Dictatorship grants all power to a dictator or a small group (clique, government organization or group) such as a Political Party. Pro has admitted that Cuba is ran by one party.As for the election, the Pro must leave behind such gullible views. Allowing Elections are a ploy used by many Dictators in the world to allow the fake feeling of freedom. With absolute power, Castro is still a Dictator.[6] http://www.merriam-webster.com...[]- Is the US Embargo Helping?Cuba still has trade rights with Mexico and other States in South America. They are not starving for trade. While the value of trade with these nations are much lower (as is intended), the amount of goods and services available to Cubans is not. Any lacking medical supplies and food is related only to the Cuban Governments high Military Costs, draining the economy of valuable funding.If the US opened trade, it wouldn't help Cuban Poor People. Nearly all of the $20 billion in trade a year would be sucked into the Military as always, and aid in further repression.Another issue with Pro's argument is that he thinks the trade money will go into the people's paycheck. Trade happens between companies, not employees. The Companies (and rich) will earn extra money, while the employee's paycheck stay the same. Anything the Government gets in taxes to go to dangerously furthering their military even more.- Is the Embargo helping the US?The Cubans, in the 1990's, was caught red handed using the Drug Wars to their advantage, aiding the Drug Traffickers in return for getting weapons for (wait for it...) Latin American revolutions.(7) They aren't highly credited with honesty.As for US citizens not allowed to go to Cuba... That is;1: Not unconstitutional.2: The point of an Embargo... To Stop trade and travel to and from a Nation.The Embargo has helped further secure US interests in America, which is a major benefit. The US Government must benefit the US people first, everyone else second. The Embargo has also helped stop the spread of Communism and Socialism in America.[7] http://www.pbs.org...[]===============================================Pro never answered for the following:The entire Batista Vs Castro section;How any trade revenue with the US would be took by the Cuban Military;How the Cuban Government would use any funding from Trade Revenue to repress their people;How the US Government allows any Cuban who makes it on shore to live and become a Citizen here;Pro has dropped the following arguments:The argument that most people support ending the Embargo;The argument that the US is making more trade restrictions for it's Embargo Allies.Pro has also claimed that much of my argument is irrelevant.The reasons for having started the Embargo justify it;The reasons for having started the Embargo are still there;The embargo is still justified;The Pro's entire argument can be said as this..."The Embargo should be lifted because it's causing an Embargo, and that's bad." "The Embargo is because the nation is Socialist. The Embargo should be lifted because it's hurting the nations ability to be Socialist"He is arguing that the Embargo is bad because it's causing what an Embargo should cause...He has so far provided only faulty evidence, such as the idea that Cuba has only has 45,000 soldiers, less than 4% of the actual number, as well the idea that Cuba doesn't have enough funding for social programs because of the US when it is really because it's holding the 3rd largest American Military, and 4th largest per capita. The Pro has not kept his BOP.I pass it on.
