How Tim Scott would punish Cuba for political repression if he ran for POTUS

When signing his name on the reintroduced but long-shot Denying Earnings to the Military Oligarchy in Cuba and Restricting Activities of the Cuban Intelligence Apparatus (DEMOCRACIA) Act, Senator Tim Scott, the only African American Republican in the Senate, issued this statement:

“Cuba’s illegitimate communist regime trains our enemies, empowers our adversaries to destabilize democracies, and exports the brutality of communism throughout the Western Hemisphere and beyond. The Biden administration has failed to hold the Cuban regime accountable for its crimes against humanity and abandoned the Cuban freedom-fighters. It’s time for the United States to take concrete, targeted action against the worst abusers of the Diaz-Canel regime and uplift the people of Cuba as they strive for freedom and democracy.”

If Tim Scott ever decides to run for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2024 presidential election, and he wins the nomination and ultimately the White House, he could, if time permits, sever diplomatic ties with Havana on the grounds of Cuba being allied with US rivals and foes around the world, fund democracy promotion initiatives for Cuba through digital media bemoaning the economic wellbeing of Afro-Cubans, and send a clarion message to Afro-Cuban human rights activists to ransack Cuban armories and steal weapons from those depots, like rifles and anti-tank missiles, in order to easily overthrow the communist government in Havana by blowing up airbases and attacking jails for political prisoners. Also, he would have the FBI interrogate radical leftist African American activists, including those belonging to Black Lives Matter, for lionizing Che Guevara and claiming that Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were peaceful men dedicated to solving international problems through diplomacy unaware that Fidel and Che's conception of peace was not essentially about peaceful co-existence between communists and non-communists in the developing world, but instead about murdering non-communists to serve Fidel and Che's bankrupt vision for the developing world. Indeed, even though the US recognizes the late Nelson Mandela as a symbol of human dignity, Mandela sharply diverged with the US on how Fidel Castro should be viewed.

Ummm...how would Tim Scott punish the US for political repression...?

Seems a former president of his own party is experiencing quite a boatload of that repression...since 2016...

How would Tim Scott solve that particular enigma...?

Sounds like either Cuba is trying to adopt a gold standard currency or someone found oil there. Either way, we need to open up a can of democracy on their butts.

Nikki Haley and Tim Scott have distanced themselves from Trump's refusal to condemn racist violence by correctly recognizing that the US is racially tolerant. Although Ronald Reagan was criticized by some for a slow-motion response to declaring AIDS America's “public health enemy No. 1", he never spewed racist rhetoric towards black people and never accused "angry left-wing mobs" of wanting to take over the US.

If Tim Scott ever becomes president, he will encourage African American police officers to become heads of local police departments in order to sweep away remaining charges by ultra-leftists about the US committing human rights violations by resorting to police brutality.
