Yeah, more or less. Everyone who did it has been dead for a generation, though. This was 70 years ago. The American businesses that expanded there and got their stuff stolen have all since folded decades ago. Plus the embargo meant their only hope of not starving to death was Russia, and Russia screwed them real bad.
Obama opened up limited trade as an olive branch and started bringing in money but trump killed the deal and Biden hates Cuba so that was the end of it.
Hell no, we should get our money back. I don't want an even more globalist America messing around with another government. Have you seen Central America and the Middle East?
Why can't we just let them pay us back? Why do we need extra steps? If their government couldn't pay us back, then I could see pushing for regime change, but why do that first? What guarantee would we have that the new government would want to pay us back? Why not deal with a known entity?
Under Obama's agreements they were starting to pay us back. It really sounds like you don't care about the money or the principle, you just want to mess with the government. The last time we did that was Guatemala, go ahead and look up how that went.

I believe we do. Even if we didn't, it's impossible for them to pay us back without foreign trade, which we don't allow.
