There are more sanctions here than in North Korea, Syria and Iran (summed together!) How do we survive?!#russia #lifeinrussia #lifeinrussiaundersanctions #sa...
Yes. Americans will seize vessels heading toward Cuba, sanction companies that trade with them, forbid any vessel that enter a Cuban harbor to anchor at an american harbor for months on end, if ever. Not to mention all the behind the doors rat-fucking they do.
The Economic War Against Cuba by Salim Lamrani goes into all of this if anyone is interested.
Any ship that docks in Cuba can't dock in the US for like 6 months I think, which screws them over trade wise cuz the nearest port is in Florida so it makes it pretty unprofitable for most commercial shipping companies to do business with them. Who wants to drop buy a small developing island nation port without also going to the wealthy developed nation port right next door?
isnt the blockade making it harder for other countries to trade, even if they are not participating directly?

It does, but vast majority of the world, including US allies like Canada, doesn't agree with it and trades with Cuba.
