Negotiations useless
It did not take long for Cuban regime to make its intentions known, did it? Under the guise of normalizing relations, the Castro government went right back to the tried-and-true victimization nonsense it has been peddling for 50 years.
Knowing that returning a U.S. naval base and the payment of reparations ain’t gonna happen, the Castros now can go back to pleading poverty while continuing to hammer their citizens, while the leftist media praise them and condemn the United States. How about the reparations due to the citizens who had their property, homes and businesses seized and nationalized? Not to mention those who have been jailed since the “revolution.”
Who speaks for them?
Obviously, negotiating with this government is a waste of time.
