      Cuba can talk to our Secretary of State just like any country wishing to change our relationship.

        I’m sure they’ve never thought of that before. They should give you a job as head of their diplomatic corps with ideas like this.

          Trump resumed trade prohibitions. After that I don’t know. But that is the way to change relationships. Last I heard, Cuba actually arrested some Russians for recruiting Cubans for the Ukraine War. Which was, I should think, a good sign. But, Cubans know the way to Blinken’s office.

            You keep saying that, implying that going to Blinken’s office would do fuck-all to change America’s 60+ year embargo when it obviously wouldn’t.

              Actually, Obama started them on their way to normalization. Then Trump reapplied sanctions. So it wasn’t a straight 60 years. They want to get on the path that they agreed to again, I’m sure SecState would be receptive. And that is the way it’s done.
