1. No mention of the US's extraterritorial sanctions which are specifically designed to destroy Cuba's economy.

Shameful to blame the victims of such policy.

I am Cuban-American.

I grew up in Cuba.

My family lives there.

I visit several times a year.

Not a defender of "Castro-ism" (which is more pronounced in Miami than in Cuba).

I do defend Cuba's right to sovereignty, and for their right to play on an even playing field.
