We deal with communist China every day... they buy our bad debt. This is no longer a 1950s-1960s world where commies are the bad guys and capitalists are the good guys. If we establish a full trade agreement with Cuba and allow tourism to flourish into and out of Cuba, it would open up a new market for American businesses and help Cuba's economy surge like it hasn't done in decades. Times are getting tough in Mexico and we're very likely to have a socialist or a communist hard liner in Mexico within the next few years that will promise to clean up Mexico but it will strain relations with the US.
That being said, having a relationship with Cuba could soften that blow.
It's time to re-establish full diplomatic relations with Cuba.
Fuck Cuba. Fuck China.
Questions?
Yes, I have one: you haven't noticed that China is now our bestest bestest friend?
That's why we sent them all our industries, and they buy all our bonds.
Apparently FREE MARKET capitalisT and Chinese communist crypto-capitalists can coexist peacefully just so long as the Communist masters help make our Masters even richer.
And if that business arrangement happens to bankrupt the American people and our government?
Hey, no problem!
The Masters don't need Americans anymore, since the Chinese Masters promised that they won't kill our Masters.
Isn't it nice that our masters are all finally getting along?
Doesn't that make the pain that the American people suffered during the Korean Conflict and the Viet Nam conflict seem just so worth it?
Let's all give a big hand for internationalist capitalism, shall we?
Then if most of you wouldn't mind, please vacate your homes.
We have Chinese prospects looking at the property.
