Part of it… but kudos to the administration for at least referencing the communist regime…

There's an interesting Pro / Con argument presented in this link about the US imposed embargo that the UN recently voted to have lifted. cuba-embargo.procon.org/

Some peaceful, covid related protesting over in Cuba happening right now. Those chants of "Libertad" mean they want more free vaccines. We could end up like Cuba with a oligarchy ruling class here too. I wish the best of luck to the extremely poor country and their patriots.

Something I notice in the difference between the attire of the men in the Turkey Workers photo (proclaiming the victory of the Cuban people) and the attire of the Cubans marching for liberty in this one: I haven't seen a democrat in support of their protests about freedom. Doesn't mean there aren't any - just haven't seen any. Have you looked or are you just surprised you haven't had any fall into your lap? “We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by Cuba's authoritarian regime,”www.newschannel5.com/news/national-politics/biden-and-other-political-figures-voice-support-for-cuba-protesters

Well...I guess the pandemic HAS to be part of the statement, right? "We stand with the Cuban people as they bravely assert their fundamental and universal rights, and as they all call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from the decades of repression and economic suffering." -Joe Biden FIRST, there is no way Joe Biden wrote or said that: It is way too long a statement for him to have completed without getting lost or confused. Second, I don't know what he means: The pro government communists shown in one of those clips above claim victory for the cuban people... so who is Biden really supporting (or does he even know?)

I've got a fabulous idea... let's negotiate a deal with Cuba
Send us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, and we'll give you our snowflake liberal drones yearning for social "democracy."
straight up trade.
