The initiative comes after more than a year of secret talks, with a major impetus provided by Pope Francis, who hosted the final discussions between Cuban and U.S. officials at the Vatican in the fall.

 

U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro spoke on the telephone yesterday for the better part of an hour, going down the checklist of measures that had been agreed in secret talks over the course of more than a year.

 

Woo! Go Pope Francis!

It'll make it easier to visit your communist handlers, won't it 'Dezra?

[Redezra]

Hey, communism isn't what I'm going for, it's any global state that gives me a chance of being dictator forever.

[Shokkou]

Yes, and I'm sure you'll take Not One Step Back from that stance.

Q: Capitalism ho?

 

 

A: Capitalism, ho.

[CeltSoldierKev]

I do love me some capitalism hos! They are the best kind.

 

However, this action will not stop the trade embargo. In fact, all it will really do is prop up the Castros and their friends just a little bit longer, and allow them to gain a bit more money before they retire completely.  It's like a 401K, Obama style!  That, and the President won't get as much flack for granting his friends special travel permits.

 

And Red, this affects you not one single iota.  Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Australia currently has a travel ban or trade embargo there... so you have always been free to travel there.  Unless, of course, you are finally admitting that you really live in Ipswich, Mass.

 

I do agree with opening an embassy, though.

[Redezra]

Pshhh.

 

Nah my SysAdmin went to Cuba, and sent me pictures. So now I want to go. I could have gone anyway, but it was the only comment I had on this :3
