After 54 Years, The U.S. And Cuba Formally Restore Ties

[2aguy]

After 54 years of animosity, the United States and Cuba have formally restored diplomatic ties.

That means that the U.S. opened an embassy in Havana and Cuba opened an embassy in Washington, D.C., this morning.

In truth, both countries had for years already been running robust interest sections in both capitals. Today, however, both of those missions were upgraded.

During a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez raised the Cuban flag at the embassy in Washington.

The last time the Cuban flag flew in that location was in 1961, before the U.S. broke ties with the communist island.

I'm sure the recently arrested political prisoners are jumping for joy.

It's not our job to tell Cuba how to run their country. Nor any other country for that matter

Well but of course. OBama is not only a Muslim sympathizer but communist one too

How did YOU who voted for him get so DUPED?

 

[pwjohn]

Great. Now maybe Cubans who left under the commie regime can get reparations from the Castro boys who took their homes, possessions, etc. in exchange for letting them leave the country.

Fat chance.

That's their problem, not ours.

It seems that Cuba is still a haven for American fugitives. Joanne Chesimard was convicted of the murder of a New Jersey State Trooper and escaped from custody over 30 years ago. There is no statute of limitations on murder and apparently she is still hiding in plain sight in Cuba. There are probably plane hijackers and other fugitives hiding out and Barry Hussein could have played hardball but he doesn't have the balls. He kisses ass and bows to foreign despots every day.

that's because he hates us and doesn't care what he unleashes on us. Just like that deal with Iran. they were cheering in the streets over it chanting: death to America.

Playing hardball with Cuba for the last 54 years got us no where in the matters raised in your comment..

Democrats who applaud this development should not be allowed to vote. They are too stupid.
This just rewarded another thug regime. That's all it did. Put more money in the Castro pockets. The Cuban people will still get screwed. Obama is an utter self-focused, conceited narcissist.

And this changes nothing beyond giving the Castro's more money.

Time will tell, although I've seen no proof that Cuba is openly harboring a convicted cop killer

I'd imagine the Cuban expats who've become U.S. citizens would have appriciated their new country going to bat for them while negotiating with the communist regime in Cuba.

If this "normalizing" includes an extradition treaty then Obama may have to rethink those retirement plans.....

Maybe so, but that by itself shouldn't stand in the way of normalizing relations Cuba. They'll have an easier time of working that out after normalizing relations with Cuba, if at all..

A progressive ( troll ) in wolf's clothing

Disgusting. Really nothing more to be said about it. Just one more reason why Embassy Row needs to be carpet bombed out of existence.

LOL

I'm convinced that dismantling the UN brick by brick along with all the associated embassies for shipment to any European country that'll have it is a great idea

I'd be tempted to say "There goes the neighborhood" but a little late for that....

Cuba deal could mean extradition for New Jersey cop-killer, escaped convict JoAnne Chesimard
JoAnne Chesimard has been living free in Cuba since 1984, nearly a decade after she shot and killed a trooper on the New Jersey Turnpike. The Black Liberation Army member is on the FBI's most wanted Terrorists list and has a $2 million reward for her capture.
