We never "normalized" relations with the Soviet Union until it finally collapsed under the weight of Communism.
As for China, that was political to pit the former Soviet Communists against the Chinese Communists. A brilliant strategy by Nixon wouldn't you say.
But you have not answered my question; what would be the logic in normalizing relations with a brutal repressive Communist dictatorship? Why is it way past time?
My feeling is that we will "normalize" relations when the repressive dictators are thrown out by the "people" and people of Cuba can have a representative Democracy. Why prop up repressive regimes? That makes ZERO sense.
Vindictive? Where do you come up with that nonsense? Perhaps you do not comprehend the meaning of "vindictive?"
There is nothing "vindictive" about refusing to prop up a repressive despotic dictatorship. If Canada and other brain dead foolish Western nations wish to trade with this repressive brutal regime, they are free to. The US doesn't stop them. Where does this dullard view that Cubans are suffering ONLY because AmeriKa refuses to do business with them? Do you have any facts to support such hyperbolic blather?
