Among Obama’s first executive orders upon assuming office back in 2009, by the way, was opening the remittance financial lifeline from the U.S. to the Castro regime which had been capped by Bush.
Upon arrival of these wire transfers of U.S. dollars in the Castro fiefdom, the Stalinist regime immediately lops off a healthy “surcharge” of about 20 %–and ultimately gets the rest when the money (much at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer) is spent in state-owned stores.
This racket remains untouched by Obama–and for the simple reason that Castro obviously didn’t want it touched. And for the simple reason that remittances from the U.S. to Cuba (i.e. free money) are estimated as from $3.8-to $4 billion annually!) That’s about what the Soviets used to send Castro annually during the height of their sponsorship in the 70-80’s—all thanks to Obama!
Now, the U.S. Doctor Asylum program, which Obama also abrogated this week, was costing the Castro regime, because it hurt their “Doctor Diplomacy” (human-trafficking by any other name.)
You see, amigos: In this racket the Stalinist regime sends doctors (mostly unqualified) to poor and/or friendly countries around the world. The poor sap of a host country then pays the Castro regime–NOT the doctors!–for whatever “medical services” (butcheries and quackery) the hapless Cuba-trained doctors perpetrate.
“The Cuban Medical Professional Parole Program,” started back in 2006, encouraged these hapless Cuban doctors to defect while overseas. So it often cost the Castro regime what the poor sap host country would have paid the hapless quack doctor. So naturally this program had to go, Castro’s apparatchiks demanded of Obama. And POOF!–go it did this week, as among Obama’s parting gifts to the terror-sponsoring Stalinist who craved to nuke his nation.
In brief, this ain’t “normalization.” It’s further appeasement/surrender.
