“Blinken had found that Cuban and U.S. law enforcement were again working together”
The Communist regime in Cuba has a long history of terrorism, and not just the Marxist kind either.
On Feb. 25th, a Hamas delegation publicly visited Jorge León Cruz, the Cuban Ambassador in Lebanon. In that meeting, Ambassador León Cruz recognized “the legitimate right of the Palestinians to defend their land,” adding that the Palestinians “are fighting for a just cause.”
Cuba has allowed the terrorist organization Hezbollah, also backed by Iran, to establish “an operational base in Cuba, designed to support terrorist attack throughout Latin America,” according to emails leaked from then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.
According to US reports, Cuba has provided key intelligence to Iran, Syria, Hamas, and Hezbollah, to conduct terrorist attacks.
And the friendship continues.
Cuba and Iran have long-term relationships with terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, and a decades-long hostility toward Israel, a U.S. ally in the Middle East. Since Oct. 7, Iran and Cuba have publicly backed Hamas and refused to condemn its terrorist attacks against Israel. Hamas is also receiving support from Beijing and Moscow.
The Biden administration, whose foreign policy seems to consist of throwing a dart at a board full of proposals to undermine America, decided this is the perfect time to take Cuba off the list of terror states.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken removed Cuba Wednesday from the State Department’s short list of countries that it deems less than fully cooperative against violent groups.
In a statement, the State Department said Blinken had found that Cuban and U.S. law enforcement were again working together on counterterrorism and other efforts.
The State Department had cited Cuba as a “not fully cooperating country” in 2022, saying that Cuba had refused to engage with Colombia in the extradition of members of the National Liberation Army group.
Colombia later dropped its arrest warrants for those members, however.
That’s because Colombia is now also run by terrorists and their allies. As is Washington D.C.

Cuba hasn’t changed since the days when they tried to put soviet ballistic missiles on their island pointed directly at the USA. But hey, they’re cooperative so lets be friends. /spit

But… but… old cars, salsa dancing lessons, cigar rolling factory tours, mojitos at gated but decrepit resorts, Che emblazoned curios!!!!!

Well thanks to Cuban immigrants in Florida we can now get American-Cuban hybrid dishes developed by Cuban immigrants and inspired by the flavors of their birthplace along with the traditions of their new stateside home. That includes the Cuban sandwich, aka, the Cubano. Although I have never had one they seem like they would be delicious. We can also get salsa dancing lessons and mojitos in Florida without all that decrepit resort stuff to go along with them. You can find old cars on the internet here in America but most of them aren’t cheap nor unpopular or junky. So at this point, who needs the island of Cuba? Not us Americans, that’s for sure.

My parents used to take the family to Ybor City to get Cuban foods and other things. We all enjoyed the sights and smells and walking on the bricks between stores.
Cuban bread is very good for making sandwiches.
tgusa says
Yum, sounds good somehistory. You’re making me hungry. Where I live I can get foods from all parts of the world including Cuban cuisine. It is one of the things I like about living where I live.

Implying that Cubans invented the ham sandwich is rich. Having said that, why would the U.S. DOS, the CIA, the Obama ran White House, under Biden and the Uni-party choose to essentially ‘park’ Iran, Russia and their terrorist partners, 90 miles form Miami, Fl.? Trump has his work cut out for him. Florida should probably petition Trump for a strong military presence in the Keys and South Florida asap.

Well you got me there. Now, who implied that Cubans invented the ham sandwich?

They seem to be different but who is noticing? I agree with the rest of what you wrote.

Biden also removed the Houthis as a terrorist organization just days into his fraudulent presidency. He also reinstated the idiotic Iran nuclear deal that Obama, fool that he is to this day, initiated. So, no surprise re Cuba.
Same old same old from the decrepit doofus from Delaware (how do you like this for alliteration?) who screws up everything he deals with. EVERYTHING.
Yes, Biden is a fraudulent man, a highly corrupt man and a very foolish man. And I’m so very tired of people who keep asserting that the 2020 election was fair and yet who so very often were the very people who told us that the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia and that the Hunter Biden laptop matter was “Russian disinformation.”
I detect a pattern. And I refuse to be called an “election denier” or an “extremist” or a “deplorable” or some such rot for noting only what is true.
Conclusion: What’s left of Joe Biden (not much and there wasn’t much there to begin with) is a useful idiot for the Left in its quest to destroy America. By now, one knows this or should know this and why anyone still supporting Joe Biden is a fool at best, simply evil at worst. Yes, this dire.

Ron DeSantis for VP! Build the wall and mirror his policies in DC now!
OLD GUY says
Biden needs MONEY, so be aware! Everything is for sale that he can get his slimy hands on. And if Joe can’t sell it Nancy and Chuck will.

Cuba’s banks just failed, but not a peep from any source other than Hal Turner’s radio show. No cash at the ATM, the banks were all closed, no cash in the vaults. The people rioted, the police couldn’t stop them. Where did all the $ go???
