[United States / Cuba] - The Punishing Self Starves the Body of the Other to Force Regime Change, Proving the Illusion of Separate Survival

Event Baseline: The U.S. Embassy in Havana issues a health alert due to contaminated water and inadequate refrigeration linked to sanctions limiting imports.

The self believes it can wound only the enemy. It squeezes the island's throat and is shocked when the child's gut turns to liquid. The blockade is not a precise instrument. It is a blunt club that smashes the microbes, the medicine, and the meal. The powerful self calls this policy. It is exactly the same logic as a child smashing a toy to make it behave. The suffering body of the other is not acknowledged, because the self has drawn a line in the water and declared itself pure. But the pathogen crosses the line. The cholera does not check passports. The illusion of separate survival is a lethal fantasy. The self will drink its own poison eventually, because there is no other side.
