Obama shakes hands with Cuba's Castro in 'gesture of hope'

It seemed to help with South Africa. Of course all other countries of the world are free to trade with Cuba but it seems they have little to trade with, except the sex trade. Fidel Castro is the world's biggest pimp.

What sanctions on S Africa?
 
Yeah he sould have shunned him and imposed more sanctions because that always works!

Sanctions have done an excellent job of keeping Cuba's totalitarian regime poor and irrelevant. While some people may wish that the Castro regime was rich and that the blood of dissidents fed the Gulf Stream, I think it's best that horrible dictators be shunned and sanctioned.
 
He shook hands with Raul Castro. Not Fidel. So if you're going to criticize from the outset, at least know the topic and know the participants of the topic. That helps.

Oh, Pardon me. Raul is only the second biggest pimp in the world.

You don't have a damn clue as to who Raul is. Good thing you have google right there in front of you.

Its just a stand off where the dictator usually remains in power.

That's not all it is. Look a little more closely. It's a marginalized, powerless and geopolitically irrelevant dictator. This was accomplished with sanctions. This is far better than the totalitarian regime growing powerful.

Stand-off my ass. The Castro regime was and remains crippled by US sanctions.

Don't like any criticisms of the Castro family, huh? Did you wear the Che T-shirt as well

hahahah is this a serious post? Someone corrects you because it seems you didn't even know the person that Obama shook hands with at all and you say they don't like criticisms of the family? hahahahahahha I hope that was a joke post, that's awesome

It's not about becoming a dominate world power. It's about a disgusting totalitarian regime growing more powerful. I realize that defending the Castro regime can lead to idiocy, but let's not act all stupid and completely lose context.

Those sanctions have not hurt the US in the slightest. Cuba remains in the 1950s (and that's being generous). It was a one-sided ass whupping of generational proportions. Not a stand-off at all, the Castros have spent the last few decades on their knees.

Whats more powerful than ruling the country? Like Castro did for most of his life.

What are you going accuse me of being a Stalinist next?

Smoking the finest Cuban cigars and traveling the world with diplomatic protection.

Ruling with money and real power, obviously. Ruling over a craphole is not the same thing.

Let's not get all emotional. You want to support a totalitarian regime. Great. That's your business but don't pretend it deserves any respect.

Cuban cigars aren't that great. I've had plenty. I've traveled the world, didn't need any diplomatic protection.



Why cannot you face the FACT that the sanctions have kept the regime poor and ineffective, even within Cuba?
