Sgt (Join to see) - Didn't hear it . . . don't want to hear it . . . don't believe we should be making friendly and selling weapons to the kind of totalitarian communist dictitatorial people that we already fought in one war . . . just because this fits a transient foreign policy goal of containing China. Warmest Regards, Sandy

We are a country of forgeters. We forget that Clinton's email and Benghazi screwups. We forget that Obama was going to get us out of wars or was going to be the most open presidency ever. We forget that the Vietnamese slaughtered there own people, our own people and China helped them do it. We forget that we were within minutes of blowing the world up because of Castro.
We don't need anything from Cuba or Vietnam. If they want something from us then let them come ask us for a trade agreement.

I am not a forgetter, Sgt. Howell, but I think you're spot on when you say we are a nation of forgeters. Perhaps an even better way to phrase it is, we are a nation with a selective memory. Remember, we're also the land of oneupsmanship and what-have-you-done-for-me-lately, in addition to having the attention span of a ferret on a double espresso. (Look, a rabbitt!)

It's not that we "need" anything from either of them. Cuba is on it's last legs as a communist country. Castro isn't going to live forever and the country for the most part wants a bigger sense of normalcy and more technology the rest of the world takes for granted. So here's Big Brother up north saying we can give you some of what you want. We slowly build influence there through money that they are desperate for, and we ensure that they are for the most part in our pockets. The Russians would LOVE to get back into Cuba again. In that case, let the US do it's thing there. IN regards to Nam, it's somewhat the same thing without the crumbling government. China is stretching her legs in an area that is claimed by many nations to include Nam. Again exercise an element of control through diplomacy. How would it lpok to the Chinese to see an American battle group in port IN NAM? Even more if there was a joint training ex that close to China? There is nowhere short of Canada or Mexico where they could even think of making a "joint" military training ex, and Mexico's military isn't the most stable in town.

I didn't watch it. I very rarely watch his speeches because I think their substance is in actuality very little.
