@CNN 2/2 That is not isolationism and anti-isolationist. That is common sense. WE CANNOTBE EVERYWHERE. At one point Reagan left Lebanon years ago, because the higher ups at the Pentagon said so, and that made sense; not so much politics involved
@CNN Yes, "a major departure from diplomatic norms". Let them settle that. Years ago the son of Chiang K S took office and the world worried that maybe that was going to happen by default; it never did, but we can't prevent everything. 1X
@dcexaminer A "blood bath" that no one wants and that could happen (in theory), but a distraction. Let's sit at the table and do some work that will be tiring but that will solve some of the problems, although not all; some. Be real.
@CBSNews Maybe is not that Netanyahu will do as you say, it is that YOU will do as he say, Mr. President, and that will be a bid difference. TWO entirely different jobs.
@Bitcoin_Teddy WE have been doing this for years Mr. President, helping Canada (it was convenient for us, then but not now). But they do not want to be another state of the Union, and no one else do either; so why even bother. Let it be. Don't try to be a comedian. Be a President.
@TrumpWarRoom@StephenM 4/4 I see you put an old Obama clip in the picture; it's true; Obama was naive; with good intentions but very naive. Castro was not naive. Let's get the budget in balance. Let's win at the end. I am just saying.
@TrumpWarRoom@StephenM Raul is used to having the people with no electricity for a week; he does not have to deal with an enemy press. He does not have to use electricity daily, even though some party members (who live like bourgeoise) do, but that is a different story3/3
@TrumpWarRoom@StephenM 3/3 I do not think that I am sidetracking. Let Castro died in peace; he may not deserve it, but we do. Let's worry about our debt. What Clinton brought to the US at the end of his rein with the help of New Gingrich, let's hope Trump will bring to the US at the end of his term.
@TrumpWarRoom@StephenM Sorry, the Mariel Boat Lift took place in 1980 and began forming before that. We accepted that instead of getting rid of the PARTY/Castro and Co. We paid a prize; what is new? We have other problems now like a DEBT that many UNAMERICAN characters do not want to pay attention to
@TrumpWarRoom@StephenM Mr. Castro is almost dead, although still breathing and we need to pay more attention to the big war spending that only brings trouble, and try to face the problem in Cuba realistically. We let Castro for 60 years because we did not want a Mariel Boat Lift; now we have to face it
@TrumpWarRoom@StephenM Raul Castro indictment is a DISTRACTION. What is Real is that we spent almost 30 billion in a month war in Iran while we pent 3 billion (in today's money)in 10 years, almost 30 years ago in EL Salvador, more realistically. 1X
@washingtonpost The US Courts needs to know that they are making him look more like a hero, or a victim, or a martyr, which he is not, than a criminal. But unfortunately, he holds power over his people, and he is clever.
@washingtonpost The Pres has the job cut off for them. Let's clarify once and for all. BUT not play games. Some people like to say that they do not believe in a God because they are rational, and then they like to believe in silly illusions. Go figure
@washingtonpost You are right Ms. Tumulty. The president needs to be less brazen, and to continue to make an effort to sound more rational and not necessarily in favor of a populist narrative. Shows more his common sense. Reason vs superficial narrative.
@StateDept@SecRubio 3/3 We have to try first, Not to have another game of words. Diaz Canel, their president may accept some "small" changes, like let peasant sale their crop, but hardly Raul, and the old PARTY. Focus on that. Looks simple, but it's not
@StateDept@SecRubio If Cuba leaves Venezuela, we give them oil, so they can have electric power, and 1)allows the peasant (not the military) to sale the fruit of their back yard labor, and the small town fishermen sale their fish on the streets, as well, Cuba will change NOW. The Party knows it, YES
@StateDept@SecRubio Let's tell them that we are "seriously" talking now, no big invasion, no drama, and tell them to leave Venezuela, and we will give them some oil; quid pro quo, they know what that means, but no big show, that they are good at that, better than we are, for sure, the best!
@StateDept@SecRubio Unfortunately, the Cuban Government has been there for over 60 years, in an island with no close media to count, isolated, it's true, and with a sole ruler to rule. Let's go slow and well, but with reason; let's think of the people first. 1X
@WSJ Let's us sale all the oil that they need, but let's not (NOT) gives them credit. Now, if they need food, let's give them food, if we have it. A good start. But do not push them.
