Why is President Trump (and some U.S. Citizens) so chummy with Russia/Vladimir Putin and so dismissive of Cuba/Raul Castro? Does either country or leader have the upper hand in civil rights, democracy, and freedom? No. So why does Trump want to again retreat from Cuba and embrace Putin?
Cuba is “brown” and offers no Trump money-making opportunities, while Russia is “white” and has enriched Trump. Also, it's simply a way of pissing on anything President Obama did, right or wrong. That’s it.
Which country is more likely to modernize and moderate simply by normalizing relations with its people? Cuba.
Which country, by embracing, will we embolden to further destabilize and corrupt the world and counter our interests? Russia.
Welcome to the new Soviet-oriented United States foreign policy.
