    Obama also blocked the Dakota pipeline in December just before leaving office. Its just an easy way to look like an ally knowing that its going to be overturned within a year at most.

      I’ve literally seen Giuliani excitedly telling people how much Iranians were starving (including gleefully mentioning Iranians selling their organs); America’s literally just Israel but bigger

    The sick thing is that this was clearly never an actual objective, otherwise he would’ve done it years ago. If the Democrats had won, he wouldn’t bother.

    This is just posturing so he can argue he proved the left wrong.

    Obviously it won’t happen but it would be crazy if Trump normalised relations with Cuba to spite the Dems.

    “O-bam-a he tried to do it, but he couldn’t. Sleepy Joe. Kah-mala they don’t want you to go to Hav-ana. But I dooo. Castro was a bad man, he had the look, you know? Hat. Beard. Cigar. This new guy. Diaz-Canal. Nice guy. Very handsome. No cigar!”

      Sponsoring the ANC?

      Yes, and also because Cuba helped a lot of leftists (from social-democrats to communists) in latin america, asia and africa.

      Cuba was designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1982 because of its long history of providing advice, safe haven, communications, training, and financial support to guerrilla groups and individual terrorists. This designation was rescinded in 2015. Cuba maintains close and collaborative ties with designated state sponsors of terror such as Iran and North Korea.

      The Cuban regime continues to host ELN leaders associated with now-defunct peace talks to reside in Cuba, despite Colombia’s repeated requests for their extradition. Cuba also continues to harbor multiple fugitives who committed or supported acts of terrorism in the United States. The U.S. Department of State certified Cuba as “not cooperating fully” with U.S. counterterrorism efforts for 2019, the first such certification of Cuba since 2015.

      Citing peace negotiation protocols, Cuba refused Colombia’s request to extradite 10 ELN leaders living in Havana after that group claimed responsibility for the January 2019 bombing of a Bogota police academy that killed 22 people and injured 87 others. In addition to ELN terrorists, there was credible reporting that FARC dissidents who abandoned the peace process in Colombia traveled to Havana to seek the regime’s support.

      On July 28 during the closing remarks of the Sao Paolo Forum in Caracas, Nicolas Maduro stated that Iván Márquez and Jesús Santrich – former FARC leaders who fled Colombia after abandoning the peace process and announced a return to terrorist activities – were both welcome in Venezuela. Cuba is a key supporter of Maduro’s narco-regime and is an active participant in maintaining Maduro’s authority.
