She sounds a little nervous to me. LOL! The corrupt American capitalists that have totally bought and paid for the US Congress won’t have much trouble with Cuba. Cuba has no idea of the mistake they are making by restoring diplomatic relations with us. Its the beginning of their end. :-)

The Cuban opposition needs to stop being a bunch of pussies and rise up now. There never will be a better time to throw a monkey wrench into Obama’s and Castro’s plans.

Capitalism is the saving of surplus production to use to increase production. Free market capitalism is what we usually mean when we use the word alone. Socialism is a form of capitalism as is Mercantilism and any other system beyond purely subsistence production. Socialism is the state control of capital. Mercantilism is state mandated monopoly control of capital. All other systems are variations or mixes of these three. Our major industry is now Oligarchic which is actually Mercantile and small business is being regulated out of existence for the better functioning of that mercantilist system which is being combined with socialist redistribution of wealth.

Its a pity that many Americans, including some conservatives, have swallowed the fairy tale that you can reform the Red rattlesnake by cozying up to it.

Total agreement here. This is all about throwing a fellow totalitarian a lifeline while their economy is crashing. Nothing more.

Don’t worry your head as that’s not Obama’s intentions. What Obama wants is to prop up your Commie regime.

There are not a dozen believing Communists in VN today. The forms are retained but the government is what a traditionalist culture will have. The rulers know that Viet Nam has to get rich to avoid becoming a province of China and have promoted markets and free enterprise to that end.

Democracy doesn't work in a society whose primary unit is the tribe or clan or family rather than the individual. South Korea seems to be the one real exception to that. In Viet Nam it is the family. Were there to be serious elections people, no matter what they believe as to how the system should be run or what the qualifications of the candidate, would vote for the candidate nearest in relation to the voter. That is true of much of the non Western world.

That is why it is futile and a terrible waste of resources to promote Democracy in the third world. Right now Viet Nam probably has their optimal government. The US (pace Obama) also has the best government in Viet Nam that the US can get. That Communist form includes a very large army with which to intimidate Peking. Peking could, of course defeat Viet Nam in a war but it would be far more expensive to China than China deems the project to be worth. 1979 was a demonstration of that even though China "won" that fight.

Barry has now formally declared the U.S. as a Marxist dictatorship. The Congress are now just a toothless show appendage.

Is Marco Rubio Cuban?

I find it intriguing that he still sees nothing wrong with illegal immigration forcing us into relationship that are nefarious while he criticizes this normalizing of relations with Cuba.

He is has been part of the problem.

Sung to the tune of CALIFORNIA DREAMIN.....

CUBA DREAMIN

All the water is brown
And the food is grey.
I’ve been for a walk
Cause Fidel keeps the cars away.
I’ll be safe and warm
With my friends from LA
CUBA dreamin
Obama surrendered today!

O’dummy’s motive was not to return Cuba to capitalism. His motive was to bolster another of America’s enemies. That is his agenda.

She’s dreaming if she believes Obama has done this to get them to become capitalists.
