There's a humongous difference between a known America-hating communist like Obama meeting with communist dictators and an obvious pro-American, pro-Capitalist, like Donald Trump doing so in an attempt to work out great or better deals for us.

“marriage of Marxism and Christianity.”
marxism is atheistic materialism. If you “marry” it with Christianity, you no longer have Christianity.
Since this “pope” kissed a muzz on the lips, loved bammy, hated Trump, I ask you “what the hell good is he?”
maybe Obama just liked baseball. This uproar over Cuba after Fidel won is puzzling when we glad hand far worse countries.
Sometime in the past when a person asked a question deserving of a captain obvious answer, someone would respond “Is the Pope Catholic?” Now, that retort has become a legitimate question.
You can't be serious?
The Pope rejects Western Civilization in this document.
The driving and defining force of Western Culture for the last 2000 years as been Christianity and the influence of Jesus.
Implicit in the rejection of Western Culture is the rejection of Christianity
A strong argument can be made that, implicit in Pope Francis’s acceptance of the Amazon Accord is a fundamental rejection of Christianity
Simply stunning
Very serious disproportionate and hypocritical to our interaction with others like Russia, China, and NK,. Are you so blind or just playing around?

the attention to Cuba is disproportionate to our doing business with other communists and always has been. Fi8del outlasted 7 presidents and we lost. get over it,.
Please don’t lecture me on the islamic terrorist enabler who was in the WH for 8 long years.
I supported open relationships with cub and have for the last 4 decades, since Nixon went to China, as a way to influence them and wean them away from russia.
What the heck are you talking about with "our" interactions with Russia?? It was the Obama-Biden-Hillary admin who bent over backwards to help strengthen the Russians! Team Trump has just about undone all of those insane things they did, while at the same time massively rebuilding our military, after Obama's near-decapitation of it.

thank you for your irrelevant comments about the military. your comments about russia merely prove my point. Punishing cuba while castro live don merely proved we couldn’t defeat him by boycotting him and then not boycotting the others. it was hubris and a failure.
China and Russia declare “solidarity” with Iran after Gulf tanker attacks
“Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed solidarity with Iran…even as the U.S. Navy revealed evidence the Iranians were behind the terrorist attack on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.”
The two oil tankers were Japanese and Norwegian. The U.S. military released a video it says “shows Iran’s Revolutionary Guard taking an unexploded mine from the hull of one of two oil tankers attacked in the Gulf of Oman.” Tehran’s usual response was denial, and it also accused the U.S. of “waging an “Iranophobic campaign.”
Now China and Russia have come out to express solidarity with Iran. ..."
???? You took a strange turn somewhere. I’m over here on the main thread.
............and? Does this mean we not longer trade and do business with them? What’s your point visa vis Cuba
You were just whining about "our", as if current, not prior admin, "interactions" with the Russians. Do you not understand that Iran is a pawn of Russia? That Trump's reversal on Obama's Iran deal was a significant blow to Russia as well as Iran?
We have a long way to go, but we're way more on the right track than in anytime in recent history.
I wasn’t whining about it; I was pointing it out in comparison to cuba.
You went off about Iran and you can continues to do so alone on this tread. there are plenty of other threads about Iran and some in which i supported invading them instead of Iraq and i still support destroying their Navy in response to their attacks the last 5 weeks..
But it is irrelevant to my point about Cuba and russia and Cuba and China and the NK..

President Trump called Russia a “destabilizing” influence in Europe and the Middle East, and urged it to “join the community of responsible nations,” in his strongest remarks yet against the regime of Vladimir Putin, whom he is scheduled to meet Friday in Hamburg for the first time.
His remarks in Warsaw’s Krasinski Square, which marks the 1944 Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, came after the U.S. agreed to sell Patriot missiles to Poland. The president also used the opportunity to reiterate the NATO commitment to mutual defense, a declaration he did not make during the NATO summit in May, prompting consternation among U.S. allies wary of Russia’s ambitions.
“To those who would criticize our tough stance, I would point out that the United States has demonstrated—not merely with its words but with its actions—that we stand firmly behind Article 5, the mutual-defense commitment,” Trump said Thursday. “Words are easy, but actions are what matters. And for its own protection, Europe, and you know this, everybody knows this, everybody has to know this, Europe must do more.”
Trump has repeatedly said NATO members must spend more on defense—a position in line with past U.S. administrations. But he has been criticized because he appeared to suggest U.S. commitment to mutual defense was predicated on its allies’ defense spending. ...”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In his first call as president with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump denounced a treaty that caps U.S. and Russian deployment of nuclear warheads as a bad deal for the United States, according to two U.S. officials and one former U.S. official with knowledge of the call.
When Putin raised the possibility of extending the 2010 treaty, known as New START, Trump paused to ask his aides in an aside what the treaty was, these sources said.
Trump then told Putin the treaty was one of several bad deals negotiated by the Obama administration, saying that New START favored Russia. ...”

The Pentagon is getting everything it asked for in the White House’s annual budget request—and then some.
U.S. President Donald Trump will submit a budget to Congress on Monday that includes a sizable $750 billion for fiscal year 2020 for national defense spending, of which $718 billion will go to the Pentagon, a U.S. defense official confirmed to Foreign Policy.
