I take exception to your comments here. Cuba is a gulag and we’re supposed to just overlook that fact ? Do you share the same opinion regarding relations with North Korea ?
“Do you share the same opinion regarding relations with North Korea?”
That was my thought following this thread. Once Fidel and his communism has fallen - then go in there and help them redevelop and show them how civilized people can improve things and make a buck.
It is too bad IMHO that the U.S. didn’t do more in Russia after the fall to bring investment and capitalism to them. Of course it is so corrupt over there (and Cuba too I imagine) - what American firm wants to take that risk.
N Korea is not in our sphere of influence. Cuba is. Its time to make a change. We already have diplomatic relations with Cuba via our diplomatic mission in downtown Havana. We can effect more change in Cuba if we start handing out the carrots in return for changes that we want. Cuba definitely needs to change.
In a few years this won’t even be an issue anymore. We are talking about a little island in the Carribean not Communist China.
