Is "Negotiating" really the proper term when you have a gun to your head?? In the long run all these mob hits are doing is creating deep resentment and mistrust that will eventually come back to harm America when these new "allies" turn their back on the US, and knife us the first chance they get. Cuba could have been another Costa Rica, or maybe even eventually another Puerto Rico. I want Cuba to be a place we can visit, and enjoy their beaches, and amazing food, and have no concerns about safety. I want Americans to be welcome there. Not to blow it up, kill thousands, colonize it, slap up some Texas Roadhouses, put Cubans back in their kitchens grilling up cheap steaks, and call it South Florida. Trump can take Cuba in days if he wants to, or he can put a gun to the head of Raul Castro, and get some sort of "agreement" to save lives, and stave off missiles, and attacks for some time. However even that best case "Venezuela-like" situation does not ensure that in the long run Cuba will ever be somewhere we can enjoy as a friendly neighbor. It all but ensures an anti-American revolution at some point, and makes us less safe in the long run. Even now with a so-called "alliance" with Rodriguez and Venezuela... would you feel safe as a white American going to visit now?? Alliances after negotiations that are made with a gun to your head are false alliances. They are snakes in the grass ready to bite your a$$ when you are not looking.
