Cuba was prohibited from accessing spare parts for their only oxygen plant as well as importing medical oxygen due to the blockade, as COVID-19 ran rampant
The rest of your points for the paragraph are moot.
You could argue that the US should not have this much power over world trade
It doesn’t. It has ultimate control over USD… Which other [foreign] companies choose to use.
You’re blaming the Cubans for not being able to buy the replacement parts they needed, because the US totally isn’t interfering with their trade.
Already proven that US does not.
When the US suffered from hurrican Katrina, Cuba didn’t hesitate to offer aid. When Cuba’s main oxygen plant breaks during a pandemic? Apparently the American people show their humanity by cheering.
What’s the point?
And you feel this is just.
I never said it was just. I never made ANY moral evaluation. Simply stated that it’s not the US’s job to perform this action. Castro can’t demand aid from the US. You can’t call it genocide.
Listing data for 2023 as proof of me lying. Cute. How about going back a couple of years? But no, I’m lying about everything, and Cuba not being able to buy parts they needed is totally their fault. I’m done with this. You can continue defending your murderous country in peace.

Nothing in that link shows SWIFT blocked Cuba. Quite the contrary, I’ve done a relatively exhaustive search… SWIFT has NEVER blocked Cuba. So yes… you’re lying.

In the common law of most English-speaking countries, there is no general duty to come to the rescue of another.[1]
Literally the first line in regards to “common law system”.
Remittance nonsense
What does this have to do with anything? This doesn’t cover any point regarding any supposed “blockade” (contrarily proves there is no blockade). Doesn’t show that there’s some form of US stranglehold over Cuba (Contrarily shows that USD can make it’s way back to Cuba from Cuban migrants to the USA)… This is all evidence that you’re argument is bullshit.

Why are you so hell bent on defending the American empire against the Cuban people?
No, you haven’t done a “relatively exhaustive search”, if you had you would have learned that SWIFT has indeed blocked Cuba in the past.
Based in Belgium, SWIFT claims political neutrality, but has bowed to US influence in the past, blocking transactions to Cuba and Iran.
The SWIFT software manual even admits to auto flagging payments that contain the word “Cuba” even if they’re not related to Cuba (the country) at all 🤣
In the MT example, it’s highly likely the payment would be one of the 10% typically stopped by a sanctions filter, triggering an investigation. This is because the word ‘Cuba’ appears in the name and address and it’s otherwise unclear where the payment is going.

Demonic worldview, just because your law books used to legitimize slavery would you also practice it?
Cuba is not blocked from SWIFT. Currently only Iran and North Korea are blocked from SWIFT. So you’re lying. https://bank-code.net/country/CUBA-(CU).html
