The United States has demanded that Cuba open up to private investment, and Cuba has passed sweeping reforms to encourage just that. So Cuba’s U.N. ambassador says he wants to know why Washington keeps piling on sanctions that stymie the very economic opening it has sought for decades.
Ambassador Ernesto Soberón Guzmán, in an interview this week with The Associated Press, directed his question to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the main architect of the Trump administration’s Cuba policy:
“What are you afraid of? If you are so convinced that the Cuban government is an incompetent government, why do you need to implement almost every two weeks new sanctions?”
We have so mistreated Cuba for decades to serve our own interests. It’s such bullshit.
Correct me if I’m wrong but my understanding is that it’s primarily the Cuban emigres in America who want keep the sanction on Cuba. The Republican party want to keep it that way because Cuban-Americans are one of their biggest voters.
Yep, that’s a broader expansion of our own interests. Also anti-communism sentiment from the Cold War (whether justified or not, much of what we did to countries like Cuba was not justified)
Ah, I see you’re confused. This is the “Stop Resisting” strategy. There is no appeasement. What he intends is genocide, not conquest.

Because cruelty is the point… there is no deal to be made with the mad pedo king wannabe
