Or because we are comparing rates now to those when COVID restrictions were in place?
I already provided the reasoning. Where does it say, “because they’re communist”?

Really?
Cuba has long had good relations with Russia. It was a key ally to the former Soviet Union during the Cold War that briefly hosted nuclear missiles at Moscow’s behest during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Again on October 19, 1960, almost two years after the Cuban Revolution had led to the deposition of the Batista regime, the U.S. placed an embargo on exports to Cuba except for food and medicine after Cuba nationalized the US-owned Cuban oil refineries without compensation. On February 7, 1962, the embargo was extended to include almost all exports.
I would argue the original reasoning was very valid. Helps to know the history though, I guess.
And yet Trump canceled all the forward progress. Coincidence?

By extension of this philosophy, we shouldn’t bury people, since worms will desecrate their deceased flesh. It seems to me then that shrunken heads might be a good way to save space.
I’m okay with it. Unless we start putting them on keychains. That might be taking it too far.
Ukraine’s effort heavily relies on artillery, which accounts for a substantial portion of battlefield casualties. Ukrainian forces require around 75,000 artillery shells per month just to hold their current positions, and potentially double that amount for offensive operations. In contrast, Russia is capable of firing approximately 300,000 shells monthly, supported by both domestic production and imports from North Korea.
Interestingly, South Korea has also become a key player in supplying artillery ammo, agreeing to transfer 300,000 155mm shells to the U.S., which in turn helped replenish stocks sent to Ukraine in 2023.

How weapons from Western allies are strengthening Ukraine’s defence against Russia.
Yeah, except in this situation the covenant send their member species to school on Earth to learn how to adapt the technology too.
Do you expect us to consume that?

Putin you fuck. Putin doesn’t agree.

everyone agrees that war is awful
That doesn’t appear to be the case in Ukraine.
Yes but… the word stupid is not in the sidebar (other than the community name). I did check first! :)
The first question has been answered already a few different ways. As to the sub-question:
Why do we focus solely on this one aspect of life?
It’s because we as a society lost track of other aspects of life, e.g. relationships for the sake of relationships- which if we question our basic humanity, we also need. Instead we focus on materialistic requirements, both for basic survival but also for status, security, and comfort. I would argue that second aspect (status) is an indirect (and inefficient/ineffective) means to accomplish the forgotten parts of life (relationships).
We can think of it as a universal language for trading. It doesn’t matter what item you eventually want, you can trade money to get it.
This article doesn’t cover it (specifically) so I went digging to see if this might compete with weight loss drugs as well:
