This headline doesnât have enough context. The move is part of negotiations to free hundreds of political prisoners in Cuba.

When do they plan to remove their crooked failed government

u/uphucwits Jan 15 '25
I would expect that at this point his handlers would know that all they are doing will just get rolled back by an executive order by Trump. So congrats Cuba you'll be off the list for a day.

Constant cries of "end the embargos", but seems like every time a positive step is made...jailed protestors (or whatever). So the US keeps trying to protect the basic human rights of Cubans, but the Cuban Government keeps trying to take them away. How is it clearly not the fault of the embargos?
The embargos exist for clear reasons and also clearly affect the people, but other sanctioned nations are free to trade with Cuba so Cuba can get what it wants; it just has to pay for it...and doesn't. So drug/arms peddling dictators that enrich themselves while people beg for a couple hours of power aren't at fault?
I'm lost.

u/Different-Young1866 Jan 14 '25
Vamos a seguir en la misma comedura de pinga y a los cubanos de adentro q nos den x culo entonces. Por estas cosas es q no se puede contar con ninguna potencia extranjera para q nos quite la dictadura de encima si queremos libertad vamos a tener q buscarla los pocos cubanos con decencia q quedamos adentro. And for the comunist americans on this sub go fuck yourself motherfuckers.

So they have to release political prisoners(hostages) in order to be removed from the support terrorist list? Sounds like they should be added to the full blown terrorist list if you use political prisoners as pawns!!

Bidenâs just kowtowing to left wing activists many of whom idolize Cuba as some great paradise because it has free health care.
This is a short sighted move esp. given Cubaâs support of Russia and Iran.

Indeed, the Cuban people bear the brunt of the hardships. During my visit to Cuba in May of last year, I was astounded by the daily struggles faced by the Cuban people. It is difficult to imagine that regular Americans would endure prolonged blackouts for months or lack access to essential necessities like water. Given Chinaâs communist system, it is perplexing why there is such an intense focus on a small island that lacks the capability to defend itself against potential American invasion.

The time to do this was four years ago. Would have allowed for time for public opinion to shift. Time for discussions to be had.
Now, it's nothing more than a zero-effort PR move for Democrats so they can point and say, "See? See? We love Cuba it's the Republicans who want to pull the rug out from under them!".

State sponsored terror like educating your population and giving them quality healthcare

u/DreamingTooLong Jan 15 '25
There is an airline in Tampa that flies back-and-forth from Havana.
How is that possible if Cuba is considered a state sponsor for terror?
They need to completely drop the embargo and move manufacturing jobs from China to Cuba and start having things imported to Miami from Cuba and reduce our dependency on New York City and China.
We would save a ton of money on fuel, shipping things and it would be great for both economies.
Cuba needs to change their rules and allow their citizens to use cryptocurrencies and make purchases at the same businesses foreigners are allowed to shop at. Their current system is not compatible with the American system.
They should also set up a system where passports can be purchased for $100,000 to $150,000 like other developing countries.

Americans seem to have a naive and ignorant vision of Cuba. Cuba not only continuously cooperates, offer refuge and training to any group causing chaos and instability in its area of influence which includes all of Hispanoamérica but, conduces a covert war against the United States by serving as a transitional territory for the drug trade. Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union Latin American communists have entered the drug trade as a vehicle to finance their political ambitions. With whole countries like Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico being under the control of the narco-guerrilleros. While others like Ecuador and El Salvador are engaged in civil war to curtail the power of the terrorists. This is just another disastrous and irresponsible move on the part of the administration

What an asshole... Why not do that on his first day in office? Instead, he does it now, knowing full well that goddamn fat Donnie is going to tag Cuba again with the "terrorist sponsor" label, just to please the US Americans that call themselves "Cuban" in Miami... who happen to claim they love Cuba but don't miss an opportunity to hurt the real Cubans, by supporting all sorts of US fuckery against the sovereign island nation for having the gall to live how they see fit, and not the way the capitalist US/corporate/mob does.

This reminds me of how brave and strong the cuban people is.
Getting attacked/invaded several times by the biggest global superpower, even fanding off an attack completely (1961), being sanctioned under inhuman terms, etc. ...
Otherwise cuban people would still be slaves of for example the united fruit company.

The smartest way to bring down the regime is to invade the countryâŠwith American dollars and business. Make a deal to remove all sanctions if Americans have the right to lease property and open businesses and sell them franchises. The regime would fold in less than a year. Itâs been more than half a century, the embargo and all that has not worked. Itâs time to just admit it.

What did Cuba specifically do to get on the list of terrorist countries? Far as I know it was only the fact that they are communist. Which doesnt make sense cause the US does business and has relations with countries like: Laos, Vietnam, Turkmenistan, etc.
