"If Cuba is unwilling to make a better deal for the Cuban people, the Cuban/American people and the U.S. as a whole,
I will terminate deal."

===============

Well gee. That gives Raul something to think about over the Holidays doesn't it?

In diplomatique'... we call that blunt force trauma.
Who needs a Secretary of State anyway. :D

Trump is like Kryptonite or Anti-Matter to the last 3 decades of politics
people and customs and policies will just begin to self immolate.
Not boring. Nope.

Here's my take.
I have no idea what 'the deal' was (by Obama)
but
I'll guarantee you it was crony and globalist.

?? What?

Is he really threatening to re-sever diplomatic relations?! The BS embargo is still in place. This doesn't even make sense. Congressional approval is needed to end the embargo - is Trump suggesting there is a "deal" in place to end the embargo that he would end?

Here's my take: Trump is just saying shit to try to exert some bully pulpit power and to garner the attention of his ill-informed supporters. Throw out words like "crony" and "globalism" and they'll get you to do all sorts of anti-liberty shit. :rolleyes:

We've never seen something like this.

Would hope he would jump on ending the embargo.

would think it would be in everyone's best interests.

but,, that's what I think

He's approaching it with the same declaration he made concerning Iran
and the so called political prisoners that were being held.. if you remember.
Obama ignored them and went on 'negotiating' anyway.
Trump criticized and said he would have demanded the prisoner release
or he wouldn't even have sat down at the table with Iran.
So..
he's taking the identical approach here: Putting the 'political prisoners' out in front
or
'we don't even talk'...
and
may even reverse the current thaw in relations.

He basically snatched the bone right out of Raul's mouth and said "Bad DOG!"
He's a tyrant. It's what they do.

Geeeeeeezzzzzzzz... I wrote out a whole 'thing'
as a response and lost it.
short ans: No... he should not 'reverse' progress made.

That's Obama's deal. The people who oppose it think that Cuba should pay some kind of price for the privilege of being able to do business with Americans and receiving American tourists.

If it were up to me... as 'curator' of the Cuban Sovereign Watchdog Group...
I'd probably suggest they handle their Island's wealth like Alaska or Oyarde's Reservation Cronies..
but for God's sake... NOT
like Hawaii.
They need to get some SERIOUS specialists in there before they start 'negotiating' with the likes of El Presidentey Electo.
I'm more worried about them
than us.
