Too much going on at once

Cuba Cuba Cuba. No, Sen. Rubio, America will not "be less safe as a result of the president's change in policy" because dictators in Venezuela, Iran and North Korea will try to take advantage of the United States. That is probably the stupidest thing anybody has ever said. In the first place, neither Venezuela nor Iran have threatened the United States in any way, nor could they, nor could North Korea, nor could Cuba have done so at any time in its history. And how normalizing relations with Cuba has anything whatsoever to do with those other countries is inexplicable. Just completely idiotic. There is zero economic or national security interest of the United States in not having normal diplomatic and trade relations with Cuba, and the policy certainly wasn't doing anything to promote human rights there. This was long overdue.As for Sony cancelling release of a movie (which by all accounts sucks a moose) over threats from North Korea (and no, they weren't encouraged by the deal with Cuba, duhhh) that is definitely unfortunate. As Peter W. Singer says at the link a) North Korea has no capacity to carry out any threats (and believe me, if they did, they would be sorry, Obama would have cover under international law to take out Kim Jong Un with a Tomahawk missile, and he would). b) This just says to any crackpot that they can censor any speech they like with an empty threat. But listen up folks: it wasn't Hollywood liberals or the wimpy American people who caved, it was Japane...
