Kerry raises flag at new U.S. embassy in Cuba

Why would Cuba change when the U.S. is giving them everything they want without requiring anything in return?

When Donald Trump says Obama and Kerry are terrible negotiators, you think this might be what he’s talking about?

For more than 50 years, the U.S. has been trying to get Cuba to restore political freedom and human rights, and we’ve cut off diplomatic relations and instituted an economic embargo until they do. They refuse. So what do Obama and Kerry do? Not only do they restore diplomatic relations, but they also push the Republican Congress (which is having none of it) to end the embargo.

And then, having done that, Kerry goes to Cuba, raises the U.S. flag on the new embassy there, and declares, “And hopefully, the government of Cuba will itself make decisions that will begin to change things.”

And why would they? Not only are they getting everything they want from the U.S. without making any changes, they’re adding additional demands:

A white flag would be appropriate

I would think maybe Cuban American votes but don’t think they are pleased with this crap

Kerry has a long history of promoting the enemies of America. It is soooooo appropriate that he do so here.

If Kerry would have had his way years ago, we would be flying the Vietcong flag.

Great responses so far, e.g white flag, Viet Cong flag.

How about a rainbow flag? (no that would make Fidel mad).

After the flag goes up he’ll probably order a Cuba Libre.

I am SO TIRED of the Obama outreach to Dictators and backhand of our friends that I could spit! This proud PROGRESSIVE and his cohorts just keep smiling along as our foreign policy spirals from disaster to disaster. What is next, Mr President? A national recognition and vacation jaunt to Kim Jong Un’s paradise?

Are you going to write a check for the million$ that Castro demands and deliver it to Havana when you visit? 17 more months and God alone can help us if your successor does the 3rd Obama term!

Why was lying human toilet kerry sent down there? One of our U. S. Senators could have gone.

I was wondering if he invited Hanoi Jane to the festivities.
