With many Cubans here in Florida, I am curious to hear their reactions. I see this more as a chess move, to gain allys and steal one from Russia. Keep in Mind Russia and Cuba are best friends, and Russia is one of the sole suppliers of Cuba, in return Cuba buys their gas...something Russia needs to stay solvent. Russia is in the middle of a financial collapse, and its mainly due to falling gas prices, is leaving their exports worth less. If we supply Cuba with gas, or at least open it up to the middle east, among other products, they no longer are dependent on Russia and Russia loses income. Also if we have another cold war..do we want Cuba at our doorstep with missiles, knowing they will back Russia? I see this as a more Anti-Russia move than one of real social progress, or desire to make money off Cuba. Also it will be interesting to see how Cuba reacts, as their government isnt exactly a fan of our democracy.
