Hard to believe how many liberals post here.
Actually many long time great FRiends are replying here. What is your problem with lifting the long embargo? Did you feel the same when Nixon went to China? Were you hurt that now Cubans will be able to come and go? Are you pissed that Cubans in Florida will now be able to see their relatives? What is it and why do you think we should not lift the embargo?
Love the liberal talking points. Obama isn’t doing this for any of those alleged reasons. Relations with Cuba should only be normalized on US terms, not on internationalist socialistic terms.
As for Nixon, his liberal record speaks for itself, and badly.
This is a capitulation. We will get zilch from Cuba in return. They will not have to payback for everything they stole.
“Did you feel the same when Nixon went to China?”
I was a kid.
But I think history shows it was a huge mistake.
Nixon and Kissinger did not even get what they wanted, an independent South Vietnam, out of it.
What we have is rather than a free a prosperous China, like Taiwan or S. Korea,new have a Marxist National Socialist state that has the largest GDP in the world.
Real life consequences? Many. For example the “Sony hack” is a consequence of the continued existence of the PRC.
