I say fine-go ahead. Russia really doesn't have it to give away. They got a war to deal with. We've got our own fish to fry. Let them both look like they're standing up to Trump.

I think you miss the point.

We’re essentially blockading and starving Cuba.

We are also complaining about Iran closing the Straight of Hormuz and want everyone to get behind us to open that back up.

Now Russia is sending oil to Cuba?

What do we do?

A couple Russian oil tankers to help out the general population is part of winning the hearts and minds of Cubans.

After what we did in Venezuela the end is coming for the Communist Castro regime.

Good with all of it.

That's how to make friends and influence people, right Trump?

Did Trump think caving to Russia on this would be a one time affair?
