    My name is Thomas Veil, or at least it was
    To be clear, I'm an ordinary person, and not beloved character actor Bruce Greenwood.
    strongly agrees and says:
    The latest news from Cuba is that 10% of its population has left the island in the last two years. That's a stunning level of exodus, topped only by nations in total collapse like Venezuela and Syria. And yet, as we have seen in Syria, when a totalitarian regime switches to "bitter end" mode, a nation can get stuck at this level of misery for decades without the hoped for regime change happening. In Cuba, the USA can declare victory. American style capitalism won, Cuban style Marxism lost. It's time to change tactics to bring about the final regime change. If the USA drops its embargo, the Cuban government will lose its last excuse for why its economy's failures are not the government's fault. And allowing free movement of peoples, on the same conditions that the USA applies to other Caribbean nations, will put millions of Cuban citizens face-to-face with happy, wealthy Cuban Americans, living proof that a better way of life is possible for Cuba. And even if it doesn't lead to a regime change in Cuba right away, it's still worthwhile. Cuba would no longer have any incentive to threaten the USA militarily or through terrorism, so there's no downside risk to opening up. And the act of magnanimity would send a strong message to the other nations of the world that the USA is negotiating from a position of confidence and not fear.

    I believe the USA should seek normal relations with Cuba. Improved diplomatic and economic ties could benefit both nations by fostering mutual understanding, economic growth, and stability in the region. It's time to move past the Cold War mentality and focus on building a future of cooperation.

  • would abstain and say according to AI:
    While I recognize the potential economic benefits of normalizing relations with Cuba, I have serious concerns about the human rights abuses and lack of democratic freedoms under the Cuban government. These issues need to be addressed before we can fully normalize our relationship.

  • would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
    In my view, the USA should not seek normal relations with Cuba. The Cuban government has a long history of human rights abuses and authoritarian practices. Engaging with Cuba without significant reforms will only legitimize its oppressive regime and undermine the values we stand for.

    I strongly believe that the USA should not seek normal relations with Cuba while the Castro regime continues to oppress its people. Normalizing relations would only embolden the regime and undermine the efforts of Cuban dissidents fighting for freedom and democracy. We must stand firm in our support for human rights and democratic values.

    I strongly disagree with the idea that the USA should seek normal relations with Cuba. The Cuban government remains an oppressive regime that violates human rights and undermines democratic values. Engaging with such a government would only legitimize their actions and weaken our stance on promoting freedom and democracy globally.

    I believe the USA should seek normal relations with Cuba. Engagement is the best way to support democratic change and economic opportunities for the Cuban people. By lifting embargo restrictions and promoting tourism and trade, we can foster a better relationship that benefits both nations.

    I strongly believe that the USA should not seek normal relations with Cuba until the Cuban government ends its oppressive regime and respects human rights. Engaging in normal relations without significant reforms would only serve to legitimize and empower a dictatorship.

    I strongly believe that the USA should not seek normal relations with Cuba. The Cuban regime continues to oppress its people and disregard human rights. We need to maintain a stance of pressure and sanctions until significant democratic reforms are made.
