    At no point did you explain why what
    Cuba is doing is our problem this lon
    after the Cold War has ended and they
    have no means of harming the US. And I
    would ask, do you know Cubans recently
    off the island, or are we speaking abou
    the diaspora that was exiled after the
    Cuban revolution? That does make a
    difference. I'd rather hear the opinion
    of someone currently living there,
    rather than the opinion of someone that
    has been here for 50 years.


    Hello McFly... Cubans make the 90 mile swim all the time. I know Cubans in Canada and in Florida.

    Cuba is not "MY" problem. I would like to see Cubans have the same freedoms you seem take for granted.

    Castro's Grandson, the one in charge now, said if it were up to him he'd strike a deal with Trump. Apparently the grandson says he's a capitalist.

    I'm rooting for the people of Cuba and I hope they attain their freedom someday.

    Why can't I root for people's freedo

    Who are you to say I can't wish peop
    well.


    Root all you want. Were you or I or any
    of our elected officials elected to
    make Cuban government policy?

    Last I checked, if they are a
    functional state it's not our fuckin
    business. I would prefer to let Cuba
    exist as it does and trade with them
    like a normal country, and if we're so
    fuckin great, they will be convinced
    the the alleged superiority our system
    and want the things we have.

    I of course don't think that's how it
    would actually happen. But under
    Republican assertions, surely we should
    allow the magic of American Capitalism
    to work its wonders via the Invisible
    Hand of the Market to convince them
    their way sucks.

    We have no threat from Cuba anymore.
    There is no USSR around to shove nuke
    up in there. There is no reason to
    choke their country from all
    international trade via both emargo and
    via our trade rules basically makin it
    impossible for the entire world to
    simultaneously trade with us and Cuba.

    Doesn't seem very Capitalist to me,
