Very disappointed with the pushback to my lamenting the conditions in Cuba caused by extraterritorial sanctions. [View all]

Some think it's OK to create near impossible conditions because of fantasized notions.

For my family and millions of others.

I know there are a substantial number of people who support detente and normalization w/Cuba.

But some of the irrational pushback attempting to justify the unjustifiable is disheartening, to say the least.

Viva Cuba, the homeland of my family, my culture, and my people.
