So all of the elation over American tourism in Cuba is for naught.

As for now.

right?

Cuba isn't cut off from the world. America has cut itself off from Cuba.

those bastards

send in the cruise ships - we'll show them how its done

Cuba isn't isolated. America has isolated itself from Cuba.

It seemed like every goodfella and his moll in Canada were there...

and agree that Cuba shouldn't be embargoed anymore, but unless Cuba is clear-eyed about how it allows development, they'll end up being what they were before Castro -- a Mafia-run corporate whorehouse and slave auction. They'll have to move to protect their island's beauty, cuz no investors will give a shit about it.

Any development will happen on their terms. Cubans are educated well, and they value their sovereignty.

understanding how the US corporations want to enslave them again. I worry about that Miami bunch that have been hanging around with the repiglicants. They will have too much influence.

I want to visit there some day. I also would like to meet people from Cuba visiting here!

and meeting them here, too.

We'll see who meets some Cubans first!

hangin' out. Meet some people from Denmark last week.

I'm dating someone from Copenhagen. She told me they have free college. Wow. I asked her how they accomplish it and she said they don't spend as much on military. Now that's what I'd love to see more of here!

juice and he'd never heard of it.. I ask him where he was from?

And, we toasted .. him with his coffee and me with mine.

It's so good and good for you!

Hey, we ought to start a wheatgrass juice stand in Copenhagen!

We'd make a fortune!

We would!

other that that,
no so good

tourism --> shit jobs

smdh.

Unqualified improvement of many lives.

Restoration of diplomatic relations.

I hoped I would see this in my lifetime.

Thanks to President Obama and his Administration.

Viva Cuba. They have an amazing history and a lot of really great people.

if I had a beret and cigar.

died off since those times, IMO it's a new world now. I'm glad to see Obama's move to restore relations. IMO it's time to move forward, it's whole new generations of people now.

AP: Cubans Cheered Announcement Of Normalized Relations With The U.S.: “This Opens A Better Future For Us.” “Cubans cheered the surprise announcement that their country will restore relations with the U.S., hopeful they'll soon see expanded trade and new economic vibrancy even though the 53-year-old economic embargo remains in place for the time being. ‘This opens a better future for us,’ said Milagros Diaz, 34. ‘We have really needed something like this because the situation has been bad and the people very discouraged.’ Bells tolled in celebration and teachers halted lessons midday as President Raul Castro told his country Wednesday that Cuba would renew relations with Washington after more than a half-century of hostility.” [AP, “In Cuba: Cubans’ hopes high for a better future,” 12/18/14]

Reuters Headline: “Florida’s Cuban Americans Rejoice At U.S. Policy Overhaul.” “Some Cuban exiles rejoiced at the prospect of easier access to their relatives. Some swelled with guarded optimism over the prospect of thawing relations between the United States and the communist island. And some were simply ‘ecstatic.’ News on Wednesday that the United States will restore full diplomatic relations with Cuba and open an embassy in Havana for the first time in more than a half century rippled through the 1.5-million-strong exile community in the United States, many of them lifelong opponents of communist rule.” [Reuters, “Florida’s Cuban Americans rejoice at U.S. policy overhaul,” 12/17/14]

CBS: Cubans Celebrating In The Street At The Announcement Of Changes To U.S.-Cuba Relations. “People are waking up to a new sort of reality after sweeping changes to U.S.-Cuba relations were finally made public. The talks had been kept a secret for 18 months, and when Raul Castro announced it to his people at the same time President Obama spoke in the United States, nearly everyone was watching. At first, there was silence, but that soon turned to joy. People broke out in song and dance to celebrate the news. Church bells rang, and cars and motorcycles honked their horns as they drove through the streets. Although it's still far too early for people to feel any sort of impact, there's a sense that this can only be a good thing.” [CBS This Morning, “Cuba, U.S. make way for new reality as citizens celebrate in street,” 12/18/14]

Cuban Exile: “All I Would Want Is To Not Have To Ask Permission From Anybody.” “Behind the bar, Juan Carlos Rodriguez, a soft-spoken construction worker who fled Cuba 20 years ago, said he had heard the radio earlier in the day but was mostly reserving judgment. ‘I have to see more news,’ he said in Spanish. But Rodriguez would be happy if the announcement results in eased travel restrictions for Cuban exiles, as it almost certainly will. ‘All I would want,’ he said before tucking into a huge plate of rice, beans, and filleted fish, ‘is to not have to ask permission from anybody.’” [Miami New Times, “In Hialeah, Miami’s True Cuban Heart, A Muted Reaction to Obama’s Thaw With Castro,” 12/18/14]
