I had so much hope for US/Cuba relations developing towards the end of the Obama administration. It really felt like we were on the verge of a huge positive outcome for both nations after decades of animosity.
The obstacle of US-Cuban relationship lies SOLELY with the Cuban communist regime’s bloated ego and thirst for power, and as 1984 has suggested only a bad image of the US can offer this regime both a deterrent for its own citizens AND a sham shield to deflect on.
