The embargo on Cuba makes no sense; hasn’t for many years. We have normalized relations with lots of countries that aren’t nice to their own people: normal relations are probably the best way of gaining some moral leverage. Anyway, Cuba’s no threat to the USA.
How many countries have stolen US assets without so much as paying back a dime?

Always somebody around who loves a dictator.
Fidel Castro, Che, and Raul captured US citizen business owners in Cuba, put them on trial, then had them put against a wall and shot. I remember that some of the Coca Cola representatives were put to death for their “illegal” activities in Cuba. Fidel was directly responsible.
It isn’t their own people we were mad about, it was their treatment of our people once they took charge.
