Aaron @fwaaron.bsky.social · 17/03/2026A blockade is an act of war. This is a non-controversial definition. An embargo is strictly economic. Once it is enforced on outside nations by force it is a blockade. The blackouts are because of the war on Cuba. The food crisis is because of the war on Cuba. Remind media and hold them to truth. 000
