After the Soviet Union fell we should've told them to reform their government or we'd invade and fuck them six ways from Sunday.

They honestly deserve it. Castro wanted the USSR to nuke us.

The Cuban government has been an asshole and troublemaker for decades. Normalizing relations with them is stupid since the same people are still in power and I don't see how we stand to benefit from it.

I don't like people who, in the past, wanted to kill me and remain unapologetic about that.

Explain which part of that is paranoid or irrational? Or where I implied they pose a current threat to the US?

The Cuban people have suffered at the hands of their Communist government. Blaming their problems on the US is misguided as hell.

How many times has the US Government/CIA try to assasinate Castro? Also, remember the bay of pigs? No wonder that the Cuban regime isn´t really fond of the US Government.

You´re right that the Cubans have suffered a lot, but thanks in large part, to the 50yr embargo. Which by the way, has been completely useless. It has only given more legitimacy to the Castros and the party. To open up the Cuban market and society is the best and smartest thing to do, if you want to get rid of communism and increase economic development for the Cubans.
