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
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.
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.
In the common law of most English-speaking countries, there is no general duty to come to the rescue of another.
Demonic worldview, just because your law books used to legitimize slavery would you also practice it?

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.

I like counting the fallacies you are relying on.
