LMAO I cannot stop laughing at all these people who think this will collapse the Castro regime ... no folks, instead we will prop them up with Gringo money!
One of the things that killed off the Soviets were access to Adidas sneakers, Playboy magazine and Levi's. People don't like it when their government gets in the way of them making a better life. Embargoes make excellent excuses for tinpot dictators. Once the Cubans get access to 4G networks and iPads and Toyotas, hey'll eb less inclined to the current regime's policy of shared misery.

Why not state 5 weeks, seeing as you're effectively making it up?
SMH...Americans lost decades ago. You just didn't know.
Like you said...Cuba has nothing to lose. You can't defeat that.
How long do you think it will take before American companies, who have moved off shore already, start eyeing up Cuba as the next low-wage slave labour market lusting for jobs and blue jeans.
Good bye Taiwan, Bangladesh and China....... hellooo Cuba.
Imagine a Cuban's chagrin when he drives to work in a 1953 Buick and when he gets there, he's busily employed building a 2016 Buick he can't begin to repair himself if he manages to actually buy one.
Should we have an embargo on every nation that does the same??
I can't answer that. But now is no time to be lifting an existing one. It undermines US credibility, and is a slap in the face to Cubans in this country with families back home.

How so?
Now they can go visit their relatives freely, without restriction. Biggest worry is another flood of cubans wanting to come to America.
