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.

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 🤣

Demonic worldview, just because your law books used to legitimize slavery would you also practice it?
I like counting the fallacies you are relying on.
I actually don't particularly care... I just hate looking at these shitty arguments on the topic. When it's so easily refuted.
Oh shit... so we've got one instance 22 years ago... And we're harping on it still today? Are you shitting me?
Every financial institution is required to make sure that they're not violations of actual sanctions/embargos. Also... notice that this says "Investigation" not block. eg... Swift would then have to check that the transaction isn't with a US-based or US vested company.
Nope, but I feel it's a worse violation of rights to mandate that people do something. I'd rather live somewhere where people are willingly helpful. But you don't get there by mandating it... Nor do you get there by demanding that "help" under the guise of stating that someone is committing literal genocide, when they're factually not. Accepting the premise of this "article" is literally the "demonic worldview" to me.
