They will! And, for no damned good reason, imagine when Obama made his overtures Chump was lining up to get hotels there.
Soon as he became President he took a harder line than anyone else not named Reagan. How many UN Resolutions Israel ignore and violate again?
Damned Hypocrites.

The Americans are damn hypocrites. So much economic activity with China yet they continue to block Cuba.

Having said that both sides of the issue (US and Cuba) need to negotiate some kind of solution. Both sides need to move on with the times.

"Patria o Muerte" needs to be changed to "Patria y Vida".

Ukraine wickeed bad and ungrateful. Quite a few of their Chernobyl survivors were sent to Cuba for recovery in a warmer climate.

That facility used by Ukrainian survivors is now abandoned after the Chinese used it for some time. Imagine a facility about the same size as UWI MONA and College Common on a beautiful beach side property with a river delta...but all the huge university and hospital buildings abandoned.

The beach side property and river delta and some residential homes are still being used by tourists.

Why does the UN even exist?
To make small people feel important for 5 minutes?

from the misfit's best in thew wurrrrrlll kuntry:

U.S. diplomat Paul Folmsbee, in a brief speech opposing the resolution, said the embargo was aimed at promoting "human rights and fundamental liberties in Cuba"

Who is the 78th President of UN General Assembly?

France congratulates Ambassador Dennis Frances, Trinidad and Tobago's permanent representative to the United Nations,
on his election by acclamation as president of the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly, which will begin on September 12.

So T&T is important for 5 minutes?

I am very surprised that China and Russia did not reach out to Cuba over the past decade or so.

If for nothing it would have given big brother something to think about in their back yard and at

the same time giving back to Cuba in the same spirit as which Cuba was the friend of so many then upcoming

republics /freedom fighters in the 70's . What's good for the goose is good for the gander . America can play in our

backyard ..we will play in yours.
