James Early on Cuban Embargo, David Cooper on 'We All Quit'
Audio program news on the subject, from F.A.I.R., media bias watch group:
This week on CounterSpin: Imagine if China used its power to cut off international trade to the US, including for things like medical equipment, because they didnt like Joe Biden, and hoped that if enough Americans were made miserable, they would rise up against him, and install a leader China thought would better serve their interests. How would you think about Chinese media that said, Well, we heard a lot of Americans say they were unhappy; they even marched in the street! Obviously, that was a call for foreign intervention from a country that understands democracy better than they do.
And then what if some Chinese people said, Wait, you cant immiserate ordinary Americans to push them to overthrow their government; thats illegal and immoral, and other Chinese people explained, You dont get it; US politics are very complicated?
We talk about the admitted complexities of the hardships facing Cubansand the relatively uncomplicated actions the US could take to stop contributing to those hardshipswith James Early, board member at the Institute for Policy Studies, and former assistant secretary for education and public service at the Smithsonian Institution.
