Frankly, I couldn’t care less about Obumbles’ latest bad negotiation with a dictator. He’s a lying sap. We know that. Fidel and Raul are thugs. No surprise.
As for Lurch, hey, the man never met a dictator he didn’t love. Otherwise, as PJMedia’s Roger L. Simon puts it: “In the end, that will pretty much be about beach resorts, maybe a Havana gambling casino or two for Jay-Z. Standard crony capitalism stuff.”
The Cubans won’t be getting any more political freedom any time soon. They’ll get the cleaning jobs, and wait tables, join the half-naked chorus line and maybe even aspire to croupier. A swarm of gringo tourists to fleece. Better than the communist nothing they have now.
Much more worrisome is Obongo’s and Lurch’s love-affair with Iran. The mullahs will have nukes, and probably a lot sooner than we think.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
As I said in the comment over there, I am more optimistic. No reason that what had happened in the late USSR couldn’t happen with Cuba. But we shall see.
As for Iran – yes, the realignment the the Obama/Kerry pair is performing in the Middle East is certainly worrisome.
Apple and oranges, USSR vs Cuba. Europeans and South Americans are different in many ways, not least politically. A new banana republic is about all Cubans are likely to get. A strutting caudillo with lots of ribbons on his uniform. And beach resorts and casinos.
