SOFLO88 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 well SHIT. If i'm reading it right, they are going to make it almost impossible to travel to Cuba unless its to visit family. And not more cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Jet Blue / AirBnB will provide refunds if it's truly restricted to family only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 This is only the beginning of a more hardline stance to come. Much of this is due to Cuba's support of the Maduro regime in Venezuela. They are even contemplating placing Cuba back on the US list of state sponsors of terrorism. For those USA'ers who consider Havana their Disneyworld, the end is around the corner.

Ethernut Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 My guess is there will still be loopholes and they won't police them like they don't police them now. Cuba really has no choice but to support the socialist regime in Venezuela. That's where they get their Oil, Diesel, and internet. But I get it. We'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElJavi76 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I repeat... I just don't know how we choose n pick what dictators we rub elbows with. Cuban tanks in Venezuela? I think of you put your finger in the barrel of said tank cannons you might be able to stop them. Agree with @Ethernut... Cuba's govt has no choice but in the end it's just like divorce. The innocent get hurt the most. I just want it to all go away soon. I feel for the innocent in Venezuela and for the same in Cuba. Including my aunts and cousins who will surely feel the burn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 North Korea tested a new Cruise Missile today so this makes PERFECT sense. ? As @ElJavi76 alluded to this won't hurt Raul, Maduro or any of their immediate circle. It WILL negatively affect the innocent citizens who have already been suffering for years. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derboesekoenig Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 This isn't going to change to much. Just like pre-Obama era, go to any different country and then fly to Cuba. It's only affecting U.S. to Cuba travel. At least, that's what I got out of that. But anyway, don't get me started on Trump... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duxnutz Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 One would have thought Trump would be normalising relations and ending the embargo so he could make out like a bandit on the re-development, not doing this. Very surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe to also put a stranglehold on the Castro regime. 20 hours ago, El Presidente said: This is a serious escalation. it wasn't too long ago that we thought US/Cuba relations would normalise. I wonder how the Jamal Khashoggi retributions are going. Khashoggi was NOT a US citizen despite living here and working for the Wash Post. He wasn't wacked on US soil. He rolled the dice and spoke out against his Saudi government and lost. Why should the Trump admin nor any of us US citizens care? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
