    Time to shed the oppressive yolk of communism from the Cuban people.

    See I disagree with this but for different reasons. I think a partnership with Cuba isn't that bad. We have much worse partnerships with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

    Im for this because we aren't "partnering" with Cuba, we are enriching Castro and the communist govt. The lives of the average Cuban are not improved.

    They oppress anyone who speaks out.

    Time for em to go.

    I don't base my economics on the comfort of their people. If I did, I'd be an isolationist.

    Cuban Americans would disagree as evidenced in Trump winning Florida.

    Cubans hate the Castros. I'd be happy to illustrate:

    No I meant do you have a link that shows your claim that all the Cubans voted for Trump.

    Unlike other Latinos, about half of Cuban voters in Florida backed Trump
    In Florida, Cubans were about twice as likely as non-Cuban Latinos to vote for Donald Trump. More than half (54%) supported the Republican president-elect, compared with about a quarter (26%) of non-Cuban Latinos, according to National Election Pool exit poll data.

    Yeah but he really didn't. It's mostly symbolic.

    There's no good reason to do this other than bending over to his base. What a stupid step backwards.'Our biggest trading partner is COMMUNIST China

    I think at the opposite that keeping commercial trade is one of the best way to break a dictatorship. You keep commercial trade => people become richer => they will finally ask for democracy.

    People becoming richer is fuel for communists who stoke the fire of envy into rage against the wealthy to gain support. Study the Democratic Party platform.

    If only a little part of the population become richer. If the whole population become richer. Their is a lot of hard working poor people, it's not insane they want the fair share of their hard work.

    Nobody care of the slaughters commited by the pro american indonesian governement in eastern timor, nobody care of what the belgian did in Congo, nobody care of the CIA backed Pinochet. Furthermore, USA are not the best placed to comment about genocide. Even if in the end, few countries can really give lessons about genocides.

    Anyway, it will not bring back the dead and I don't think a lot of politician really care of either the dead cubans or the alive one. The only thing we can wish for the cubans is to get a stronger economy.

    Cubans are the "Uncle Tom's" of the Hispanic community as far as liberals are concerned.

    In other words, they tend to not vote democrat.

    It makes sense, they did risk their lives to escape the commies. Why would they ever vote for what they escaped here?

    Have you ever read the history of Obama? Assassinating American Citizens as a new form of due process ---- spying on American citizens without probable cause --- sending his NSA Director to lie to Congress, then exiling the patriot who blew the whistle. Did you hear about him slow walking applications to fund free speech he didn't believe in and weaponizing the IRS to attack citizens with whom he disagreed. How about investing a reporter for doing his job?

    I wouldn't have blamed free countries for sanctioning Obama's fascist States of America.
