Dude said rogue nation. How rogue do you want to get

That’s funny.

Who do you want as the arbiter? Hamas?

I’m not the Secretary of State. But I suppose it has something to do with improved human rights conditions and democratic reforms. The promotion of universal human rights and a person’s right to speak freely, peacefully assemble, and associate, and by supporting the ability of people to freely determine their future. The common stuff. The stuff Russia, Iran and North Korea don’t do. The stuff Cuba is pretty terrible at.

What I’m implying is if Cuba wants normalization it knows how to get it. The way to get it is not through the UN. Has Cuba the one dragging feet? IDK, when was the last time they had a free and fair election?

Actually, Obama started them on their way to normalization. Then Trump reapplied sanctions. So it wasn’t a straight 60 years. They want to get on the path that they agreed to again, I’m sure SecState would be receptive. And that is the way it’s done.

Trump resumed trade prohibitions. After that I don’t know. But that is the way to change relationships. Last I heard, Cuba actually arrested some Russians for recruiting Cubans for the Ukraine War. Which was, I should think, a good sign. But, Cubans know the way to Blinken’s office.

Yeah, ĝotta teach our troops how to butcher civilians and steal children.

Russia has a leader wanted at the Hague.

Cuba can talk to our Secretary of State just like any country wishing to change our relationship.

The UN has no authority over the way the US does business as a country.

Paywall

It would just go back home like a horse…

Then China should get the really accurate weather predictions

That’s hilarious. The thrust you say? Not my problem if you misinterpreted simple english.

US law does not apply at Gitmo. I’ve said that many times.

US law aligns with International law.

Two different concepts.

I didn’t say it was okay. But I do understand it. We call them unlawful combatants. That is a specific term akin to pirate. You can, by law, do anything you want to a pirate on the high seas. They have no rights. That’s old British law and international law. So, by calling them that we imprisoned them in a place not in this country so they would have no rights. US laws do not apply. Screwed up? SURE.

That’s why it’s gitmo. It’s not under US law. If it was those prisoners would have other kinds of rights that we don’t want them to have.

Last US War crime I can remember was Clint Lorance who k I liked some Afgan villagers. He was serving a 19 year sentance, and was pardoned by Trump.

Our laws align with international law.

The US has their own justice system. War crimes are taken to US courts, offenders prosecuted and jailed. What the US doesn’t do is wait for international courts to act.
