As a Trump supporter I'm left scratching my head about Trumps latest tweet insinuating he'd roll back the recent Cuba reforms. How does restricting the rights of American citizens to trade and travel put -America First-?! Personally I'd love the ability to buy a $200 round trip ticket to Havana, and be sunning on the beach in Cuban pussy paradise! Many 18 year old 9's and 10's will fuck you, then cook you dinner just for a chance to stay overnight in your beach villa; and get a decent meal. Sounds like a good time to me!
Regardless of what trade rules we put into place rich liberals will continue to enjoy Cuban cigars, Cuban rum; and Cuban vacations by buying goods on the black market; and taking flights though 3rd countries to vacation in Havana as they always have. Working while working class America will have to continue to have their rights trampled on. To what end? An attempt to help illiterate peasants living in a banana republic? Communism is a failed system. Anyone with a brain can see that. But if Cubans want to continue to jail and repress each other that's their problem. Let them take care of it. As an American nationalist why should I care?
In fact I'd rather that Cuba be ruled under a strong dictatorship. Compare the situation in Cuba to the situation in Mexico:
Large swaths of Mexico are in a constant state of anarchy. We have thousands of illegal immigrants pouring across our border from Mexico; often aided by the Mexican government. The cartels have most of the Mexican judiciary and law enforcement in their pockets. They bring across drugs, criminals, and illegal aliens [which screws American workers] with impunity. You'd have to be suicidal to walk down the main boulevard in Juarez or Tijuana alone late at night.
In Cuba the government jails it's criminals and actively patrols it's borders to prevent illegals from coming to the United States. When illegal immigrants are caught by the Cuban authorities an example is made to send a message to those thinking about immigrating illegally. There is no rampant criminality in Cuba. In fact it's probably the safest Spanish speaking country in the world including Spain. The government puts massive resources into the police and military. You can walk down the main boulevard in Havana late at night without thinking twice about being attacked by criminals.
Gotta love all of these: 'I bet you've never ever been to Cuba!' comments. The Cuban exile lobby does everything it can to prevent American Citizens from being able to legally travel to Cuba. So who's fault is that?! They add exemptions for themselves of course.

The red pill strikes again! So many pretty lies we absorbed from the left wing media over all of these years. Sometimes the truth still catches a red pilled man by surprise!

^And you think this "favorable" situation will last for long if restrictions are lifted and Cuban women get smart phones and Instagram?? You think Cuban women would be, as you put it (and it's already greatly exaggerated), "cooking you dinner just for a chance to stay overnight in your beach villa", if the embargo is lifted? Your "$200 round trip tickets to Havana" are the death of male opportunities, not the beginning of such.
Also, your "beach villa" in Cuba, you can't afford to rent it mate, unless you're very very wealthy. And if you are very very wealthy, go to Medellin or Moscow or Zurich, not, say "complicated" Cuba. Very very rich people would be stupid to take chances.
Gotta love all of these: 'I bet you've never ever been to Cuba!': Have you ever been to Cuba?
Because, in any case, tons of Americans did that -and do that-, from Mexico (or on authorized chartered flights from Florida). So even with the embargo firmly back in place, you'd just have to go to Cancun, then Havana. Nobody stopped or stops you from going to Cuba.
Also, if you are hoping for cheap flight tickets, then Cuba is not for you: it is an expensive place for travelers. Very expensive, almost on par with Western Europe, and, say, not exactly with Western European customer-service quality.

The embargo was more about principle than anything else; an embargo doesn't exactly work if you're the only nation respecting it, even if you are the giant next door.
As for cheap vacations, Cuba remains a popular destination for Quebecers every winter - a week for a family of four will save you easily $1000 (often more) compared to a similar stay in Mexico.
As far as the eulogizing goes, I like to tell the starry-eyed idealists here that Castro was a great motivator. When they ask how, I explain he was able to motivate people to float across 80 miles of shark-infested waters in nothing more than an inner tube.
The hypocrisy doesn't surprise me. When the king of Saudi Arabia died many of the world leaders went. No outroar from the SJWS. No outrage from the media.
I hope canadas Trudeau ends up going because Fidel went to his fathers funeral when Pierre died. It's nothing political but personal. Everybody should mind their own business who goes to the funeral or not.

Seriously, he basically imprisoned millions of people on their own island, only a few miles away from the most flourishing economy and top desirable migration choice on the planet. But yeah, he somehow 'stood up to the evil imperialist U.S.'?
Anyone who publishes bullshit like that should be dragged out of their house and shipped to Cuba where they'd have to spent five years living in the same squalid conditions as those Cubans. SICK.
What's even sicker is that shit like this gets published and mostly remains unchallenged out there. We are far far away from winning this culture war, gentlemen. As such it is a stark reminder that we need to build our own media infrastructure. Breitbart, ROK, etc. is only a first start.

Mind you, Fidel was absolutely not brown. Ethnically, he was 100% White, a typically tough "gallego" Spaniard. And Spanish people are very far, both physically and culturally, from Mexican "brown" indigenous people.
By the way, the ethnic composition of Cuba is I think the most carefully hidden secret in the island. The officially-published figures on this (65% Whites, 35% Blacks) are, sadly, comically wrong (yes, sadly and comically, I know, quite the oxymoron).
Is there any proof that he actually had millions of dollars? I've heard this accusation thrown around but no conclusive evidence.

....
12 year old Fidel Castro writes to his "good friend" President of the United States (Roosevelt) in 1940 to ask to send him 10 bucks, cause "he's never seen a 10 dollar bill, green American, and would like to have one"
He even gives his private address where to wire the cash.
The original letter is in the US State Department Archives in Washington DC.
Say what you will about his legacy....but seen simply as a man, Castro was a Grade A pimp, running the best quality alpha game from the moment his balls dropped.
