The US and Cuba have been at each others' necks for far too long, the animosity started when Fidel Castro took power, the Cuban Missile Crisis and Che Guevara spread his powerful belief in what he viewed as a perfect system. Since that time Cuba has been nothing but cooperative with the US and their allies. We don't find them participating in the the worldly issues that involve political and war conflict, but the US Government still shuns their leaders and refuses to open ourselves to them.
A recent article about Beyoncé and Jay-Z going to Cuba on people-to-people licenses got a lot of attention. Is it such a sin to go to Cuba? It's a beautiful place and there are plenty of hospitable areas to roam around. Better yet, one would be supporting a nation in need of economic stimulus. I believe that the Cubans need more leg room than they're given.
The Cuban leader Fidel pleads with North Korea in this article to refrain from nuclear entanglements, saying that it would affect them as much or more than it may affect the nation they declared on. This would also contribute greatly to an already deteriorating trust with other allied nations. I find this interesting as the talk heats up about North Korea as they become anxious about the realization of their threats. In this article it discusses how China has severed ties with North Korea as they are not willing to sacrifice everything they've achieved.
It's interesting to hear that Cuba would discuss North Korea's bad move, because their ideals are similar. There are few that agree with the Communist ideals, China and Russia have long abandoned them. Not many nations still believe that it's the perfect system. When considered, Communism looks like the true Utopia, everyone is equal, no corruption abound, everything is everyone's. There's one problem, it has one error and that is human nature, power breeds corruption. You'd think it would be considered before implementation, but when you were ruling a nation hundreds of yeas ago, things just were; philosophers and scientists had previously decided to label and name government systems, but most was lost to the dark ages.
Communism is a dying system as the worldly nations discover it's primary flaw, the tyranny, with the discovery wars ensue and new systems emerge; transforming into one that works for their culture, China is a great example of that. Through a hundred years of constant rebellion against the monarchies and authoritarian governments, China finally established a republic. Nothing like that of the Western world, but it was never intended to be and they still believe in the ideals of the collective.
