The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article today stating that the United States<\/a> is about to end diplomatic, travel and trade sanctions against Cuba<\/a>. This is good news for Cuba<\/a>–the deal will allow unlimited U.S. investment in Cuba, including payments to the ruling government<\/a> and its supporters. U.S. banks will also be allowed to provide credit-card services\u00a0and investments in Cuba. Businessmen like the deal.<\/p>\n

So what did we actually get in return? The article reports:<\/p>\n

The deal doesn\u2019t require any political changes by Cuba\u2019s oligarchy, officials said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The agreement will be complicated by political fights over the ownership of Cuba\u2019s valuable real estate, especially its beachfront. That property was stolen by the fascist government after it took power in 1959.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of the property owners, or their descendants, are living in the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…However, the (Cuban<\/a>) government has maintained tight control over politics and periodically beats up members of pro-democracy groups<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Cuba\u2019s fascist government released an pro-American Cuban held in jail for 20 years, and a prisoner, Alan Gross<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gross was arrested in Cuba where he was working for the federal government\u2019s U.S. Agency for International Development<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…In exchange, the U.S. is released three Cuban spies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the jailed Cubans<\/a> worked as an \u201cintelligence asset\u201d for the U.S., said the White House<\/a> official. He provided information that resulted in the convictions of at least three American spies for Cuba, and the arrest of five Cuba operatives in Florida<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article reports that secret negotiations have been going on since 2013. American used to stand against countries that routinely violated human rights. I guess that doesn’t happen anymore. And I guess the Cuban ex-patriots in Florida will not be reimbursed for the property that was taken from them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
