NEW CUBAN POLICY HAS POTENTIAL TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS
Sorry,
no photo with this article. You will be hearing a lot about Cuba from
me. Aside from the fact that Florida’s economy could potentially see a
boom from the new relations, I think it is a great story about freedom
and democracy. How you might ask, given that there is still an embargo
in place and they are still a communist country? This is true but this
article provides a perfect parallel in history, when the U.S. normalized
their relations with China in 1978. As told from the Chinese side, it
was as if a whole new wonderful world was opened to them. They had been
taught that the U.S. was the enemy, to hate Americans and that their
capitalism was to blame for the world’s ills. Once that illusion was
shattered, China has become an important trading partner, and opened up
to foreign investment. I see the exact same path for Cuba now. They are
so close to us geographically, and need so many things we can provide.
These new relations will bring change to Cuba, hopefully sooner than
later. Once they get a taste of the freedom and the fruits that
capitalism can provide, I don’t think there will be any way to hold them
back. It is in the U.S.’s best interest to establish close relations
with Cuba if for no other reason than strategically. Their relations
with Russia and other rogue nations are a bit too close for my tastes.
We can change all that and I don’t think it will be that difficult. What
do you think? As always thanks for reading and have a great day.
Cuba policy brings back strong memories
