Warum stecken Kuba und die USA immer noch im Kalten Krieg?

Ten years ago this month, the United States and Cuba reached a historic deal to normalize diplomatic relations, which was intended to end decades of acrimonious conflict between the two countries and bring prosperity to Cuba. Instead, relations today are at a low point, and Cuba is facing one of the worst economic crises in its history. What went wrong?

There’s this pervasive idea that Florida drives our political policies with Cuba, but frankly I think that’s an outdated perspective.  Florida is an uncompetitive state, with Trump winning by the same margin Kamala won New York. 

The truth is that Cuba is the architect of its current, 21st century situation. It’s still a dictatorship, cooperates with America’s enemies, and is violently repressive.  Cuba stands to gain a lot from normalization with America. Development assistance, economic integration, etc. Conversely, America has no need for Cuba, and stands to gain very little.  The Obama experiment proved that American concessions will not be drive outcomes. From a practical perspective, if things are going to change Cuba will have to take the lead. 

Too many assassination attempts on Castro and ridiculous embargoes were placed.
