President Obama on Wednesday ordered the restoration of full diplomatic relations with Cuba and the opening of an embassy in Havana for the first time in more than a half-century as he vowed to “cut loose the shackles of the past” and sweep aside one of the last vestiges of the Cold War.

America have been fighting for years with this regime, and now what? Do they really wanna be friends? Isn't it the betrayal of national interests of the country?

Seems to me that having a friend with lovely vacation locations a hop-skip-and-a-jump from us, not to mention a possible little ally, might be a good thing.

Maybe they are thinking the same thing, and would rather have us as buddies than the Russians.

Maybe the two countries could work together a bit and see what happens. Worth a try, no?

I agree. The Castro's won't be around forever. Hell. Fidel might already be dead and they haven't let anyone know it.

I'm sure most of the Cuban citizens are about sick to shit of Communism by now and would love to hit the old capitalist trail.

As you said we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

Tourism is still banned.
Freedom for the people is still banned.
The money that they get from any of this will go towards buildup of their military and not any real freedom for people of Cuba.
Cuba will always be buddies with Russia. Look at their reopening of Russia's spy base.

They will just get a new Dictator.
Cuban leaders are committed to a Dictatorship no matter who is the leader.

Tourism is not banned in Cuba all to the contrary...the Cuban Government provides free education and medical care to its citizens so they do spend money on civilians not the military which is not large like the outsize Military here...we need Freedom in the US ferguson Mo , NY points South North and east ..

I speak from Raul Castro's own words who says that Cuba is committed to it's principals which is keeping Cuba a Dictatorship.

Doug Casey on Castro and Cuba


Doug, Fidel Castro is much in the news of late, with almost McNamara-like changes of heart, ranging from regretting the persecution of gay people under his rule, to admitting that socialism isn’t working too well. The press reports him saying, “The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore.” I just heard today that the Cuban government plans to fire a half a million government employees, and the number may climb to a million — those jobs were once sacred sinecures. I know you’ve been to Cuba and met Castro, so what do you make of all this?

Americans are banned from Tourism. Mostly Canadians and Western Europeans go there and they are kept in certain designated areas so that they can't mingle with the rest of the Cuban society.
Their education promotes the ideology of the regime and their health care for the citizens is not good at all.
Under the Cuban government's health care monopoly, the state assumes complete control. Private, non-governmental health facilities, where ailing citizens could buy treatment, are illegal. As a result, average Cubans suffer long waits at government hospitals, while many services and technologies are available only to the Cuban party elite and foreign "health tourists" who pay with hard currency. Moreover, access to such rudimentary medicines as antibiotics and Aspirin can be limited.

You are the one that knows nothing about Cuba.
Do some research, also speak to Cubans who have fled from that regime.

Americans are banned from tourism in Cuba by the US Government....look at Cuba compared to Mexico to Honduras to all the places where US has Hegemony.....

The US is commited to its principles of World domination worldwide Empire...through mass killings kidnappings invasions military actions assassinations coups etc all the "wet affairs" of the Empire
 
the link speaks for itself

Hospital Cl nico Quir rgico
The Cuban People's resistance to US aggression is heroic and it serves as an example to other Nation that US oppression can be resisted by people who are united against the enemy aggression of the US...you all could not bend Cuba to the US will....

This speaks for itself of total US Perfidy and hatred for the People of Cuba...
How the embargo began: On April 6, 1960, Lester D. Mallory, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, wrote in an internal memorandum: “The majority of Cubans support Castro … The only foreseeable means of alienating internal support is through disenchantment and disaffection based on economic dissatisfaction and hardship. … every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba.” Mallory proposed “a line of action which … makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.”Department of State, Foreign Relations of the United States, 1958-1960, Volume VI, Cuba (1991), p.885

"
Later that year, the Eisenhower administration instituted the suffocating embargo against its everlasting enemy."...

The only people who profit from the current situation is pols and a few business-types who exploit the embargo to their advantage.

If that Mexican Rubio can travel to Cuba, why can't I?
