Title: An Interesting Read About Cuba
Post by: sargentodiaz on March 18, 2015, 10:50:06 AM: I've been reading a lot of negative articles about our â€œnormalizationâ€ of relations with Cuba. Most of it deals with this being a move to cement the Castro rule over the impoverished island.

However, this article from one who spent time in a diplomatic position dealing with Cuba presents an interesting view of what is going on in the island.

I don't know that the USA has gained anything directly with Vietnam but is has become one more nation trying to hold back China's expansionism. A lot of 'Nam vets are going back to ease some of the bad vibes they've been carrying for decades.
