Stupidly Reversing Cuban-American Progress
WHEN CUBA HAD A BRUTAL DICTATOR who welcomed American capitalism to the island, the United States was Cuba's dear friend. Then, when Castro's successful revolution replaced Batista with a socialist dictator who wanted to either control all American investment in Cuba or force it to stop, it stopped, as the United States decided to turn its back on the suddenly very evil, non-capitalistic, suddenly unavailable-for-American- exploitation Cuba. The United States shunned Cuba, so Castro turned to the soviet Union, and the rest is history. The american embargo against Castro's Cuba was never a good idea, indeed a stupid idea from day one, as all of America's crusades against socialism, all around the world, ongoing for decades, are stupid ideas. America would be better off to respect socialist governments and their idealism, and to emulate them in their tendency to strive for economic equality, instead of trying to overthrow them all and replace them with capitalistic dictators. We can oppose dictatorships, and promote democratic socialism, like we have in America. Obama was the first president to see the light regarding Cuba, and lifted the embargo, ushering in a new potential golden age for cuban-American relations. Now Trump, seemingly determined to be the stupidest president in American history, is considering reversing Obama's pro-Cuba policies, and making Cuban-american relationships more difficult, with renewed travel and trade rrestricitions. All because of one reason; whatever Obama did must have been bad, because obama did it. No American conservative ever invented ever truly gave a damn about freedom in other countries, including Cuba, but opposing a liberal president, Obama-hatred, by all means, is their sacred duty. What lunacy.
