The United States plans to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba more than 50 years after they were severed, a major policy shift after decades of hostile ties with the communist-ruled island, President Barack Obama said on Wednesday.
Announcing the end of what he called a “rigid” policy of isolation of Cuba that had been ineffective, Obama said the United States planned to move toward normal ties and would open an embassy in Cuba.
The policy shift will mean a relaxation in some aspects of commerce and transportation between the United States and Cuba, but it does not mean an end to the longstanding trade embargo, which needs congressional approval.
This is a strategic move by Obama in light of the fact that the pact establishing the US presence at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba will soon expire. With the normalisation of relationship, the US expects its presence in Cuba to be extended.
I am wondering why you are the only one who commented LMAO & real loud did I touch a nerve or something? Are you light skin? I am lol
Brother Bob said who the cap fit let em wear it. I guess you got a little head. It fit you so quicklylol
That trade embargo was not real anyway. For years now the U.S.A. have been the biggest food suppliers to Cuba and Fidel has been happily taking rent in U.S.$. from Uncle Sam for Guantanamo Bay for as long as the conflict has lasted. Money always talks.
Cuba got richer for it.
Mr. Skerrit played no role in this decision making which has been in the works for some time now. Rather it was the Pope who played a key role in historic Cuba deal or as President Obama calls him “The Real Deal”
http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/17/politics/pope-cuba/index.html
Who said he did? Some people who wrote on DNO made that comment due to his speech about Cuba and Venezuela.
You are correct as I heard it on Catholic Radio and local News. The PM of Canada also had a part to play in it. From what I heard, talks were in the works since last year.
This had nothing to do with Skerrit, this has been discussed since this Democratic administration took over. Obama actually met with the OES and AEAS states in his first term Oh my people. iN THE BIGGER SCENE of things Dominica is but a mosquito, the size of a collage campus with t most Principal, not even a District Superintendent. Alb is good news because it gives more balance to the third world nation against the IMF and its high crippling interest rates. So it breaks the monopoly and poorer nations have choice to borrow with better interest rates.
This is but common sense, both President Obama and PM Skerrit are trying a different approach to world diplomacy. America is no longer number one world super power. China is. PM Skerrit was wise to follow up n the initiatives of Roosie Dougla and form alliances with China and Cuba, this is not about communism it is about making alliances, however Dominicans will determine the type of government they have and even under socialist /communist regimes there is to be diplomacy, integrity and transparency s the government is working for the people, and the people are the employers.
I understood that the US owes China a lot of money. We can figure that out.
Zuma go and find work to do and peel those lips of yours off Skerrit’s behind.
One CIA told me that Dominica we looking at very closely he is under our reader for now
Those CIA’s? How good are they? Some of them are fired. They are not too efficient. It appears they love looking at others, not what they do and not what is occurring in the US. Talk about minding the business of others and forgetting oneself.
Radar brother, I’m sure you mean radar.
It seem to me that the USA is getting soft just see what happened to Sony and the film “The interview” with immediate effects they had to stop the viewing of the film after there was a cyber attack on Sony’s server, is that a sign of bible prophecy?
Please DNO readers don’t attack me it is just my observation.
It is said that North Korea is responsible for this.
Obama don’t want Russia in they back yard Dominican put that in you head that why Obama did what he did.so now he is putting doubt in Castro head you think America is no full.they don’t do things that not in there intrist.
Nor do they want the same from China. U.S. is closely watching our developments, specially in Portsmouth believe me.
I strongly oppose that move from Obama because it will embolden dictators like skerit.
Isn’t it amazing that the world aw the futility of that embargo, yet it has taken the Americans over 50 years to realize that?
They have made peace with Russia, China, Vietnam and all the other despotic regimes around the world, yet they have few diehard Cuban-Americans tails wagging the dog.
Hopefully they will come to their complete senses when they finally and completely lift the embargo. Nothing crumbles a dictatorship faster than a restless population that has tasted prosperity.
The Chinese Communist Party will be a relic in 40 to 50 years.
Are we that ignorant as a people to actually give Skerrit credit for this?
am reading all these comment praising someone that have absolutely have nothing to do with whats going on in any part of this… Why don’t you all focus on Alba and the fact that gas prices dropping would have a serious impact on that on that…
Dominican laboratories are really foolish it’s a shame to read the kind of comments these people write skeritt will do them like Jim Jones one of those days cause people have no right to be aol stupid
Guess what? I also heard on the US Catholic News that Pope Francis was also instrumental in this. President Obama personally confirmed it.
In the past Saint Pope John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI also spoke about it.
Striving for peace, every Head of State and Church must be concerned about the lack of communication and embargo restrictions between the US and Cuba.
The next step is releasing the Cuban people from their bondage of dictatorship and give them freedom. Let us pray for this.
Most people are forgetting that Edison James and the UWP was the FIRST Dominican govt. to establish OFFICIAL diplomatic relations with Cuba.
You have not heard and read all the news I heard on the Toronto News that the Canadian PM was instrumental in making this a possibility between the US and Cuba.
President Obama better not take all the praises for himself. In case you have not yet read it or heard it, when I get the article I will read it thoroughly and inform you about it.
This is great news for the people of Cuba, the Caribbean and the world. It is long overdue and President Obama has the fortitude to make it happen. Thanks goodness. There are some people that just like drama and suffering and tension… well guess you will be thoroughly disappointed. There is no conspiracy, this was the right thing to do and President Obama is the right man to do it.
What had Skerro to do with Obama and Cuba talks? Nothing at all. So with this empty praises to all you high and mighty skerro means nothing. Cuba and the US has been talking for months. Ki biabe skerret
Like the landing on the moon in 1969 this proposed changes to be held up between Cuba & the USA will change the way things use to be.
I recall in the 80’s even father Clement Jolly refused to baptize a kid BC he was named Fidel. Talk about backwardness in the 80’s Eugenia and the DFP made us think Cuba was hell on earth.
At a different angle, our Tourism will suffer the consequencies on cuba opening her ports beaches night life and all those Mulattas even our Ministers will want to travel there on escapades with tax payers money. Julius Sampson wrote his article a few days too early. In addition to falling oil prices this new opening will affect Caribbean islands Tourism industry
I don’t think this development will be to the detriment of our tourism industry. Europeans have been traveling to Cuba for vacation in their millions for years now on cheap holiday packages with direct flights. There is even a direct flight from Martinique to cater for that but their is no regular air service between Dominica and Martinique (there is between St. Lucia and Martinique though!) If our tourism industry goes down it will be because of inadequate standards and services and not because of Cuba.
PM Skerrit will again be noted for his VISIONARY LEADERSHIP for calling for the freedom of our brothers and sisters in Cuba and their right to self determination (sovereignty).
Yet again, UWP’s (and Linton’s)position (that Cuba is run and supported by dictators), Has been rejected, even if it takes a little longer for the BIGOTS in the US congress to do the right and just thing of fully lifting the city year old embargo.
DLP have the majority of ignorant people , but you take it all, hook line and sinker.
It is never too late to bury the hatchet and smoke the peace pipe. I have waited all of my young and adult life to hear this encouraging news. You can bet that this initiative will be met with fierce resistance from both the Republican front and the older, legacy Cuban ex-pats whose raw emotions are bound to be stirred up. I will admit I have no idea what it was like to have walked in there shoes when they were in Cuba; however, I also do not not know what it was like living in Cuba prior to the revolution when racism and the adverse effects of imperialism were rampant. As for me and my house we opt to be ambassadors of peace and relationship builders. It certainly feels good to witness the beginning of a 9,000,000 mile emotional barrier reduced to the 90 miles of natural separation.
LONG LIVE KING SKERRIT!
Bondieu! These people really think the US decision is due to Dominica’s PM and his statements?
Look is there I die.
Hello and good afternoon my people. Well this is long overdue because America realized that the Europeans are making a lot of money but the American companies are out of the loop. If they open an Embassy in Havana then they will have a spy nest in the heart of Cuba so don’t be fooled by this. The American president regardless of which party they from don’t run the Government rather the CIA and NSA tell them what to do. Think about this there are six security clearances above that of the president (Obama)when he’s the highest elected official. So who has those clearance and why. This is just to stop the Media from discussing the Torture that America committed after the 911 Incident so we will see if Cheney and his gang ends up at he Hague .
L. M .A. O. Skerro! Skerro ! Skerro! just kidding, our PM Demanded change from the might of the U.S.A, on behalf of Cuba, he go it with immediate effect! Yea Right! also we had Diaspora who lives in the U.S. A. our Pm again demanded that they come home to vote, which they did and so far not a darn thing has been done to change that, here and the American Embassy allegedly. Is that Skero`s power? and influence???? well LL and your followers are in big trouble, start wiping your eyes cause there is going to be a lot of weeping for the next five Years. Our pm is going to tell you all if I can command from the Mighty Americans what I want and get it “Who the blouse and skirt is LL to tell me what to do. You all read it first on D.N. O. as always D. N.O is on top of the breaking News. Let me measure how many #####F ???? S did not understand my Opinion. Pm skerro for life and by extention the youngest Leader of the Whole World.
Was wondering when Obama was going to do the one thing that would define his presidency.
Excellent move. Isolate this government of mad men called the government of Venezuela. it will be very welcomed by the government & people of Cuba. Now Mad Duro & Skerro can keep up their foolishness on their own.
It never ceases to amaze me how certain people operate. On one hand they are calling Skerit a dictator and accusing the PM of not wanting Lennox to voice his opinion and fight for justice. On the other hand they are scared of what America will do to dominica because the PM spoke about injustice of Anerica against Cuba.. And don’t say we can’t compare.. If we are talking about JUSTICE.. The two goes together Like Ziggy Marley .. Justice.. Hypocrites and parasites this is the proper description of the same persons who were bashing the PM when he made the statement at Alba… What a bunch of loosers the whole lot of you
Your comments confirm the lack of comprehension in labor/skeritt worshipers. He is apparently more concerned about justice in Venezuela and Cuba than Dominica. Take a look at all the unsolved murders in Dominica. Cuba has a system where people have no rights and you can go to jail for having a difference of opinion. Over the decades millions of Cubans have fled by boat. Not to Venezuela, not to Dominica, but to the US. They have been welcomed to the point where their kids are now in the US senate/ Government. You sit here talking about justice. America stands on the principles of freedom and liberty for all men. Although not perfect it is what allows creativity and people to develop to their maximum potential. Many times people try to exploit that freedom. Just like opposition is stiffled in Venezuela skeritt is using a soft approach Dominica. He stands for nothing and says whatever he thinks will please a target audience. Skeritt role in influencing American Cuba relationship and US influence in the region is as insignificant as our planet in the universe.
While you speak and our PM is posturing to try and impress idiots like you, there are millions of Cubans living in America who are poised to take back their country. Our tourism industry will take a hit when Cuba opens up.
At this time skeritt should focus on sustainable economic development in Dominica and stop trying to pretend that he has any clout to set regional and international agenda. He thinks he can feast on everyone like he can do on the ignorance of many Dominicans.
Hey that was three hands LMAO ! you sounding like ex-Comish Carrette one word”-Total Garbage” that was two words Comish!
Zuma, Skerrit did not focus on any injustice perpetrated on Cuba, by the United States. Skerrit words are an attack on the United States, when he said ” an attack by the United States on ALBA and Latin American nations are an attack on the Caribbean. Insinuating that the embargo on Cuba is an attack on the entire Caribbean, including Dominica.
One way in which the word attack can be defined is as such: “the act of attacking with physical force or unfriendly words.” If we agree according to my quote in the definition of attack, you will find that Skerrit is the one attacking the United States with unfriendly words. Skerrit literally said he is prepared to declare war on the United States in order to bring an end to the embargo; his words and thoughts cannot be interpreted in any other way, shape or form.
Attack also imply’s a belligerent or an antagonistic action, such as immediate capture to make an attack in a sense of war. Has the United States of America declared war on any Caribbean island including Dominica?
Absolutely not! If anything the United States have a policy which states: “an attack on any Latin American nation, shall be considered an attack on the United States of America” in that sense, any nation which declares war, on Mexico, in North America, or any nation within central America which is on the American continent, the United States will go to war with the attacker.
Note: Some of the ALBA nations are located in Central America; so again Skerrit has made a fool of himself, at least that’s the way I perceive it. And mind you even Guyana in South America is on the American continent, if it is not yet completed people in the interim will be able to drive from any
state in America to George Town Guyana, I believe the High Way is called the Pan-American Highway
The declaration of the United States is far different from the rubbish Skerrit spoke. And by the way to the supporters who made the claim that what Obama said today has vindicated Skerrit is nothing more than wishful thinking:
why?
The answer is what Obama did today, is as a result of the promise he made way back in May 2008 while campaigning in Miami, he made that promises to the Cuban Americans, the older ones who fled Cuba, when their homes, and business were taken away from them by Fidel Castro in the 1950’s, or somewhere around there. The communist took Cuba in the early 1950’s the Embargo is fifty years old that means it was placed on Cuba in 1964, just about the time the Soviet Union was in Cuba installing ballistic Missiles aimed at the United States. I challenge Skerrit, or any Dominican to refute that!
The words of Skerrit are precisely that of the policy of the United States; which he as usual plagiarized; only this time in reverse!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
I thought he was talking about venezuela.
You are stuck in your one dimensional mind and I feel sorry for you because one day how ever long it takes, your god skerrit will not be there, how will that little amount of grey matter between your ears cope?
Zumba! It takes one to know one right? continue not only to sing 4 something to eat daily but dance too. It never ceases to amaze me how certain people sing and do the Zumba dance for crumbs.
my good people if you took time to read, the last sentence in the story reads,
“The policy shift will mean a relaxation in some aspects of commerce and transportation between the United States and Cuba, but it does not mean an end to the long-standing trade embargo, which needs congressional approval.”
please read before making fools out of urselfs with allu Skerrit bs. Obama dont even know who Skerrit is
These red clowns have jokes. educate them you too sot
oh really well who was that person who Skerrit meet with at a summit and Obama double?
It’s a start.. Have hope and look to the future get off from your stagnation..
YOU FOOLISH PERSON.You think ‘Obama does not know who Skerrit is”? He will even get to know whom you are. Try writing any thing outrageous or unfavourable about the US, and see how Fast they ‘will be on your doorstep’, as ‘insignificant as you are’ compared to PM Skerrit.
We hope congress will approve. It will take many debates, pro and con.
What does congress have to gain by not approving? Let us wait and see.
As an afterthought, Cuba permitted the Pope to visit and to inform them, in no uncertain way about human rights. Why should the US hold back on Cuba?
U are so right. Obama wait who promised this move since his first term, waited until the republicans controlled both the senate and the congress before he made this move. So now it may never really materialize since it will need the approval of the republicans who are rabidly against rapprochement with Cuba.
I thought it is only the EMBARGO which needs congressional approval?all the other measures accomplished through executive power of the president.
Also lets stop denigrating and bashing Dominica`s pm ,he did play a role in whatever small way , Edison James did his role when he first established diplomatic relations with Cuba, the other leaders in OECS, CARICOM,the UN all played their parts some in larger part than others ,but none no less important.
It will realize, simply because it is:
a) backed by big business, especially the powerful oil industry.
b) people in charge of U.S. security, they do not want a Russian base in Cuba.
@I must speak
Well no one can stop you from speaking but if you must speak, know what you are speaking about.
Obama and Skerrit have met and spoken at the United Nations Headquarters in New York during the G8 summit.
Yes Sir, and I spoke to the waiter at the Waldorf Astoria.
Zuma!! Your fool it had nothing to do with Cuba and USA it was USA and Vene.. To hungry to be ignorant.
Paboo you really are a Paboo more like a boo boo lo mer go read again. Lazy brat
Pertaining to Venezuela, is this not on a previous article of yesterday?
What’s with the name calling? Can’t we disagree without calling each other names?
This what happens when you drink the American koolaid, you turn out looking like a fool, it is in their interests to have more relations with Cuba, this is way the are changing their stance
I agree, it is beneficial for both sides. Today Cuba can only supply 40% of its energy needs with its own oil and natural gas. It has to import the rest, primarily from Venezuela, which now needs U.S.Dollars in return. The big U.S. oil companies will be able to provide the technology, equipment and know-how to develop Cuba’s resources further through joint ventures and turn Cuba into a net exporter of energy in relatively short time. Much needed foreign exchange will be generated for Cuba and the dependence on its Alba partner Venezuela weakened. Strategically a clever move. In the same week that the U.S. declare sanctions against Venezuela they agree to open up relationships with Cuba. This will furthermore loosen Cuba’s historical ties with Russia. Big U.S.$ financing will be made available for Cuba to purchase American equipment and services. The observance of human rights, freedom of the press and democracy will take second place I’m afraid but at least there will be more opportunity for direct dialogue and action on these matters also if the U.S. use their increased leverage properly. This is only the first step and I’m happy for the people of Cuba that their relative isolation has been breached.
Many people, business and private will stand to gain by this renewed relation.
Cuban nationals who reside in the US – many of them are in Florida – will be elated. I am happy for them.
Did President Obama heard our leader or did Mr.Skerit heard about the news before he address alba summit, President Obama also would like to lift the embargo from Cuba but he need the approval from congress.
The PM always hale Cuba
And your point is.. The penny has dropped from the great Babylon.
Is all that counts. Don’t go dissecting the means you all can’t handle the truth
You know I was just waiting to hear some crap like what you wrote. Obama do not have any time to hear the crap Skerrit spews. What he said was long in the in the making; that is associated with the closure of the prison where the keep and interrogate terrorists in Guantanamo in Cuba.
Dating back to World War II to this day the United States own and operate a military base in Guantanamo Cuba, they never left. People read, and does not understand what they read. Only one guy read into it correctly and notice the embargo will not be lifted although they may reestablish diplomatic relations with Cuba.
What is wrong with that, during the cold war between the United States and Russia(the then Soviet Union) both nations maintained embassy’s in both countries, even to the day when Kennedy Nave stop the Russians dead in the track in the Caribbean sea, and gave them a chance to return to Russia without demolishing them in Caribbean waters.That is not a big deal, the fact is the embargo will remain in place until communism comes to an end in Cuba.
When Castro free the Cuban people the embargo will be lifted. I know Skerrit, and some dumb Dominican was going to take credit for that.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
PM Skerrit has being calling for the end of the embargo at many international forums and as recently as Sunday. Some D/cans went on vilifying the PM, to an extent of character assassination. Tell me now who is vindicated? God bless you always PM Skerrit.
Oh please fool this ha nothing to do with Skerrit,this was just a tactic to free a prisoner congress has to approve lifting the embargo and that will not happen any time soon,Skerrit has no sayin this,Cuba and AMERICA WILL WORK THIS OUT STOP GIVING SKERRIT PROPS ON SOMETHING HE CANT HANDLE,HE NEEDS TO STOP BEGGING VENEZUELA IS GONNA BE A WAR ZONE SOON.
Vindicated how??? You are such a fool. Read and learn to comprehend before you make blanket statements. So what are you really trying to say? Is Skerrit the one who lobbied on behalf of Cuba? LOL you JOKERS amuse me time and time again.
Go read and educate yourself before you pass like an
Wat Skerrit said has nothing to do with that fool! In the event Obama was interested in anything Skerrit has to say, I am sure he would have invited him to the White House to hold discussion with Obama.
Presidents of the United States does nothing based on gossip, nor nonsensical political rhetoric!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Oh come on Gulfstream, Skerrit and millions of others, me included and I don’t even like the man. Who is Skerrit in the grand scheme of things? He thinks too much of himself and one day that will be his downfall.
You are such a fool! Important world figures have made representation to the US on Cuba’s behalf and nothing happened, do you believe that a non entity like skerritt can affect the way the US deals with Cuba? You JA’s really sicken me.
Skerrit is in Havana, Cuba attending an ALBA Summit.
“I am here to tell you, dear presidents of Venezuela and Cuba, our commitment is unwavering,” teleSUR quoted the prime minister as saying. “An attack against Cuba, against Venezuela is an attack against the Caribbean and Latin America.”
Cheers, our PRIME MINISTER has flexed his muscles and President Obama has recapitulated.
The United States plans to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba more than 50 years after they were severed, a major policy shift after decades of hostile ties with the communist-ruled island, President Barack Obama said on Wednesday.
I told you so! Skerrit is now the the BIGGEST FISH IN THE POND. What more can we ask for?
USA and Cuba has been discussing this long before Skerrit was even PM so don’t feel big. Things like this take years, this isn’t Dominica where things are done vykivy and now for now.
COME ON, do you really think that Roosevelt Skerrit can influence US politics? Oh please! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!
Don’t be a fool. The opinion of the PM of Dominica is not even the smallest factor in what U.S. policymakers decide to do, and wouldn’t be no matter who the PM is.
Someone started this and some others followed suite.
One fool makes many fools
I would never think that the PM had a say in that; not about the US.
Carcon you are funny, really! Skerrit can not even win an election in a small country like Dominica on his own. He needs a Bajan fixer to do it for him.
Nothing happens before it’s time. Can you imagine the joy of all those Cubans who’ll be able to travel freely and be able to rejoin their loves ones. God is in control. Well done Obama and our PM.
Cyrique, you really are only a crab. What has that got to do with Roosevelt Skerrit, especially after he blasted the U.S. over its sanction against Venezuela. You even have the gall to put him on the same level as Obama, just like that boaster did himself on his election posters. Next thing you telling us it is all Skerrit who do that when we are learning that the main person to make that happen was his Holiness the Pope. Skerrit is just a pipsqueek, who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Your first two sentences made me laugh
and also Cyrique’s last sentence.
Well done Skerrit? You gotta be kidding me. Biggest joke of the day I need to screenshot that comment. Why do we allow people to thin we stupid? We’re smarter than that dumbo. Will and come again. Eh I flat down
this does not meaN THAT THE EMBARGO will cease.This was done to free an aAmerican who was imprisoned in Cuba since 2009. the embargo remains.
Its about time. Skerrit have real power boy. Last time he was in Cuba he shouted viva LA revolution and asked america to free Cuban agents. After his declarations yesterday that aggression towards Venezuela and Cuba is aggression on the entire Caribbean, Obama had no choice but to ease the long standing position and free agents. Tsk tsk. All you think skeritt playing. The new world order has begun. Chavez gone skeritt in charge.
That completed the mosquito and elephant joke.
This article pertains to the US and Cuba and vice versa; not Dominica and Venezuela.
Why do you not stick to the subject matter of this article? You love swaying from the topic..
@Shaku Zulu
Skerrit called for such and I applaud him but trust me, Skerrit was not the one who put this in motion. When negotiations go on in America’s white house and House of Representatives, Skerrit doesn’t know what’s going on in there. His call aided but he isn’t the “boss” you portray him to be.
Don’t you worry, Cuba has Skerrit’s number. Remember the time before they sent him home from the CELAC meeting because he is supporting the King of Morocco against the African people of the Western Sahara, who want their freedom and independence?
pay close attention to this my fellow Dominicans. The usa just placed sanctions on Venezuela oil prices are dropping. Venezuela is in debt. And now the usa is making friends with Cuba. Dominicans sit down and think what that means. Here is a clue. Alba is getting crushed.
tell that too them red clowns. sackway sort yoo
Always negative. So you think. Why not give this situation some weeks or months, even a year?
Consider how much US has also lost by this 50 years hostility?
I think it’s more that the Castros are softening their stance toward the Americans by necessity, because they realise that Maduro’s crumbling regime is no longer in a position to prop them up.
Russia Russia Russia! The US has Russia’s economy in peril because Russia refuses to be bullied over Ukraine. Russia’s economy is built on oil. Oil prices worldwide are down ask yourselves why. Why suddenly become best friends with Cuba one of Russia’s allies? Why now? Russia and Cuba have similar philosophies where the US is concerned. Bittersweet moment for Cuba because the US never does anything out of the goodness of their hearts. Cuba best look out. The word vulnerable comes to mind.
The Cubans are smart people too. They waited until after Russia wrote off their debt. to make their deal with the U.S.A. Very astute. Puttin must feel real sore now.
Yes Venezuela is also anti US policies. Smh.
So you mean ALBA wont have anything to talk about in their next meeting? Hmmm!!
Who bashed Skero yesterday for speaking out against this.. It is really true who laugh last laugh the best and the hardest. Skero you are blessed…m
So you are saying that out of 188 countries that spoke against the Cuban embargo this October at the UN general assembly,. It took one man, (The Almighty Skero) to convince the USA to ease up a few sanctions on Cuba.. Sad to see the way some of us think.
This is not the point. You all bashed him yesterday and call him a fool for speaking out against atrocities because you all are scared. The following day his will like the other 188 countries you mentioned were done. Talk about forces of power
Zuma, You are turning things on their head. Skerrit spoke in support of Venezuela, which stands accused of atrocities against its own people. He did the same for that mad sadist Gadaffi in Lybya, right to the end you remember? He still does the same for this friend the King of Morocco, who is suppressing the people of the Western Sahara, so I don’t understand where your idea is coming from that Skerrit is against such behavior..
Zuma is definately a red clown who has no knowledge of world issues because if you can conclude that one man (King Skerrit) made this deal possible then you must be an ARSE.
By the way The US is now in the process of putting sanctions on Venezuela. Will your king Skerrit put a hault on that too? SAKWAY SORT
That was just a coincident
Zor too sort. If only you would read and educate yourselves. America is in the process of placing sanctions on Venezuela so Skerro gonna ask Obama to stop that too? Fool
Little MIami and little Havana are protesting.And there is more to come.Most senators are against it and so are the many who fled Cuba.
Dear all the hypocrites who try to hold down the first few set of Cuban Grads.
The PS’s the DFP- ites some dead others alive and kicking as Neo DLP’s look at our President in Limbo lo lof that era , see what is taking place? Saqway………….
Every rope has an end. How long ?not Long for real change hypos,
Things don’t last forever . The movement presses on.
Take heed opportunists .Skrit et AL UWP 2
Instransigent one
Just as you said, it was an era which is ending! The cold war and all of that, Sorry you were a casualty of that! Some of us were casualties of a different kind – the class system right here at home, Leblanc included . Town and country bookie/black & light skinned dichotomy of another era too! We have moved on and ahead if you ask me. It might be a good idea for you to do the same!
Is Barack Obama a hypocrite too based on the actions of his forbears? I hope some uninformed and unsuspecting persons do not now take up your cause and start hating a whole new set of people! Elections are over so we must find a new hate target, right?
Barbara, I’m not sure what you are getting at referring to Obama’s forbears but he is as much Caucasian as he is African. Do we need to chose? I don’t think so.
Thanks Mrs Miss Mr or undiferenciated .Suaunders
I have so will the rest am giving the sequestration of the Neos 4thterm less than 2 yrs B4 the Population rise and kick ur guys out the infiltrators like urself. With Cuba opening up shortly we will suffer tremendously. We shifted making a shift from Agri 2 Tourism Cuba will take away all the cruises by 2016 and your cabal has not seen that yet. Are they going to have the commonsense to return to Agri? Ur take Saunders undiferenciated Mrs,Miss Mr.???
To Saunders
My post was in reaction to a specific comment by Intransigent one! I note that he or she did not take up his or her war gear like you! Most decisions made by the larger economies in this era of globalisation have implications for others, particularly small developing states like ours, so your point is taken. How on earth did my comment provoke your diatribe and place me in the ranks of “infiltrators”?
From my assessment I have concluded that fixation on cabals whether blue or red will not uplift me or anyone else so thanks, but no thanks for drafting me into the one that you imagine I should be in! I honestly feel very sorry for people like you who swear and curse at people you do not even know! It speaks to a serious character flaw, now becoming commonplace in D/CA!
In the circumstances, I do thank DNO for the opportunity to be “undifferentiated” ( I believe that is the word), just like “Josh Shaw”, “Cojones”, “As I see it” and others of New Chronicle fame. Accordingly, being “undifferentiated” is not a new phenomenon and, interestingly, I note that you are also unashamedly enjoying the same privilege.
I do wish you and all other haters the peace of the season and more to come in 2015. That’s my take my friend!
