“Oye Obama”: We want “muchos muchos dolares”

(My new Babalu post)


The travesty of US-Cuba talks is now down to this:  Fidel Castro is now asking for money on his birthday:
“Castro wrote: “Cuba is owed compensation equivalent to damages, which total many millions of dollars, as our country has stated with irrefutable arguments and data in all of its speeches at the United Nations.”
He did not go into detail on precisely how much money he reckons Washington owes Havana.
The Americans are also claiming compensation for US-owned property, such as real estate, that was confiscated when Castro took power.”
We don’t know if Fidel is on his own or speaking for Raul.    We do know that there are people in the left who will buy this nonsense that Cuba is a victim of the US.
Never mind that the USSR subsidized Cuba for 30 years or that the embargo does not stop countries from doing business with the regime.
This is what happens when you give away everything.   In other words, this is what results from “one way street” negotiations.   
Can you blame the Cubans for asking for billions?   They’ve gotten everything else from the Obama team!
