    60 years of isolating Cuba clearly hasn't worked - so let's continue doing that!

    I was only joking

      I don't know...Miami's economy seems to be doing pretty well...

        What hasn't worked?

        I believe the missiles are still gone.

          The one Soviet-era dictatorship still in existence.

          I thought the point was to get rid of it.

          The point has to come when you decide trying something different might be worth a go.

            We did try, during the Obama administration. It didn't work.

              If we fix Cuba we get another tropical paradise.

              We don't really need another tropical paradise. The Bahamas and Mexico are loaded with them.

              Even with a steady flow of first world tourists, the people that live in these paradises don't exactly live in luxury.

              Cuba is good example of failed communism, maybe that is the preferred role for them.

                According to the article you linked too, Biden is trying something new — allowing Americans to invest in Cuba. Maybe give that a decade or two and see how it plays out.

                    You tried the other approach for a lot longer, and it didn't work either.

                    I don't think Trump canceled it because it wasn't working.

                    We all know this is all about getting votes from certain demographics.

                      I was always surprised (actually I guess not really surprised) about the US foreign policy v Cuba

                      Any differences between how we treat the two? LOL

                          @Jolly Any economic difference?

                          Money talks.

                          Do you really think that if the US stops sanctions against Cuba, all of a sudden Russia (or China or DPRK) will suddenly think that is an okay to place military or weapons on Cuba?

                          It is politics and money for the sanctions at this point in history.
