Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush... After almost 60 years – of blockade, assassination attempts, invasions, sabotage, exclusion, and threats directed against a socialist reality that’s 90 miles away – Obama finally recognized Washington’s enormous failure, making it clear that a better method would be simply offering understanding and promoting peaceful change. And he acted accordingly. And now, here comes Trump to meddle in Cuban relations again... (Where did they dig up this crazy bat anyway, this absurd relic of the Cold War?)


Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush padre, Clinton, Bush hijo…Hasta que Obama, al cabo de casi sesenta años (con bloqueos, atentados, invasiones, sabotajes, exclusiones y amenazas contra esa realidad socialista a 90 millas de distancia), reconoció el inmenso fracaso de Washington e hizo comprender que lo mejor sería, como en efecto dispuso, propiciar el entendimiento y motivar cambios por la vía pacífica… Y ahora viene Trump a inventar nuevamente con Cuba… (Pero, definitivamente, ¿de dónde sacaron a este gallo loco, absurdo rezago de la Guerra Fría?).
