i have said before, the probably the only thing obama did that i agree with, is normalizing relations with cuba. Should have been done decades ago.

But typically, obama made a bo bergdhal like deal giving the cuban government and cuban military lots of money and the cuban people virtually nothing. And cuba keeps american terrorists.

Obama's deal was terrible for everyone except the communist regime.

But trump is not interfering with the government of a sovereign nation. I support trump's move here but it is just a bit troubling that we have relations with other scummy countries, and take a harder line with cuba.

Good stuff - we can go back to the same policy that kept the Castros in power for how many years?

Oak is right - why do we take such a hard line with Cuba in particular? I think we all know to the answer to that: pandering for hard-line Cuban votes in Florida.

Trump's decision reduces American freedoms. It's harder now to travel there for tourism.

A bad decision for conservative values.

Sanctions have nothing to do with conservatism or lack thereof. This is the same silly argument which was trotted out and laughed at during the campaign.

This move is disappointing. It's just stupid we haven't normalized relations fully with Cuba.
I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican... if you refuse to consider alternatives to the two parties, you support the Status Quo and you are a major part of the problem.

You have a right to renounce your citizenship if you want to move to a communist shirt hole. Isn't freedom great?

Cuba is an oppressive communist dictatorship...funded in large part by skimming off money sent in from overseas and tourism. We gain nothing from normalizing relations with them.

Cubans did not like the Americans pushing tourism in the country. It has grossly skewed their economy.

Hotel maids make more than doctors. The tourism dollar has messed up their economy. The US wants to transform it over the next 5 years, Cubans want to take a generation to let it morph on its on time schedule.

Correct. China is a legitimate threat.

Threat to whom? Us? So are plenty of countries we have better relations with.

Your comment doesn't make any sense, but I'm glad that you have come around to taking a hard line on China with President Trump.
