3. Who are the demagogues? The US's "failure" regarding Cuba policy is a bipartisan failure.

Unfortunately, there's many on both sides of the aisle who think that the "failure" of US/Cuba policy is that the US has not been able to topple the government of Cuba.

Successful US policy would be to let Cuba conduct business as it sees fit and most effectively - which by their own admissions would be normalized trade with the USA, as it used to be during the US backed brutal and blood-soaked Batista dictatorship.

All Cuba asks for, and has always asked for, is simply a level playing field.

Normalization would have multiple advantages for both countries.
Cuba has always sought this relationship.
It has been the US that has continued a non-productive relationship by continuing the collective punishment of an entire nation that has done the USA no harm.
