It’s only reasonable. That is how it was for a long time, until the Obama admin changed it.
No loss, people I know who went there in the past year or so said it’s a sh*thole.
They need to cut them off completely, we also need to watch for Cuban military sneaking into the US over the border.
It was right before the Marxist-supporting Obama changed it......
Journalists, after all, need to study how true propagandists employ their craft...
I still can’t understand why Hollywood hasn’t packed up and Moved to Cuba, their kind of people run the place, they would be right at home.
Good.
They hate us, let’s not do business with them.
Buncha wankers.
“Educational”. Glad we have decided to end our self inflicting with Cuban propaganda and terrorism recruiting... you would think they would accuse Obama of Cuba collusion...
New rules all very confusing. Seem more restrictive than when I went to Cuba in 2000, not on any kind of tour. Went with three friends, one of whom flew up to Vancouver, then directly to Havana. Two other friends and I found a travel agent in Florida who booked the trip. Flew to Florida, then to Bahamas, then to Havana. Absolutely no problem anywhere, no questions. no restrictions other than the usual, “don’t laugh out loud” and “don’t run in the streets.” (Suspicious activities, cops on every corner,)
We stayed in the wonderful Hotel Sevilla where everyone was friendly and helpful. Aside from the few shops near the wharves where cruise ships stopped, there was literally nothing to buy. People were lovely but hungry and afraid. Gorgeous oceanfront buildings were crumbling wrecks.
As we learned, or anyway as we heard, it had never been illegal to go to Cuba, but it was illegal to spend money there, which was considered trading with the enemy.
Outside Havana, I know it was very difficult for Americans and others to travel without risking arrest or frisking or shakedowns.
Friend of mine from Canada came down to see me soon after, and was very interested in our experience in Havana. We drove a couple of blocks to a coffee shop in WA and I told him there were NO coffee shops in Cuba. And no grocery stores. None. He had a hard time believing that, academic liberal that he was. Jerk.
I have to disagree with the wide-spread thinking in this thread. First of all, our embargo on Cuba hasn’t changed the regime after 60(!) years. I say, let’s flood the place with Yanqui dollars. Let the miserable Castro subjects see what they are missing.
I have no doubt that the country is in bad shape. It has to be. Secondly, let the adherents of the Left go there and see what a true Socialist Paradise looks like.
Havana prostitutes hardest hit...
The Cuban people have no milk, and they like it that way, with extra Commie sauce. Same for Puerto Rico, different island, same Socialist corruption.
Good. Slave Tours are disgusting. Anyone that would take one is sick and should be avoided!
This is a devastating blow to the Cuban prostitution industry and the commie pimps who profit from it.
That will twist the knickers at PBS....seeing they have a couple of tickets on raffle for a jazz festive in Cuba
GOOD.
U.S. citizens have been traveling to and vacationing in Cuba via Canada for decades. How will this be enforced?
I wonder if this would restrict Christians visiting churches in Cuba... could be a problem for me.
Trips to Cuba, often through Canada, were major sources of money for the Communist Party USA over the decades. Groups including Anniversary Tours, something close to Moncada Tours, and some by former Senate staffer Kirby Jones (a hardcore leftist who I believe worked for the Sen. Foreign Relations Committee under Sen. William Fulbright (D-AK).
this should be in SUPPORT of Trump and aimed at the rest of the pols/judges; targeting all obama judges, dems and gop squishes.
