This is good news. Cuba needs help just to feed people. We could also make some humanitarian gestures. I hate to see the Cold War revived. We are not living in the 1950s and its time for an attitude adjustment. My opinion will not be popular here. I am just looking at this from an humanitarian viewpoint. We do not look good to the Global South on this issue.
