The Hill reports that in 2007 Cuba poisoned the pet animals of U.S. diplomats working in the country… “Retaliations have ranged from the petty to the poisoning of family pets. The regime has recently gone to great lengths to harass some employees by holding up household goods and consumable shipments. The apparent goal has been to instigate dissension within USINT ranks.” The report comes just as the Obama administration is attempting to strengthen relations and ease strictures on the Communist country. Which begs the question: who decided it release it now?
Not sure. But whoever decided to release it didn’t do anything to slow Obama’s rapprochement with Castro.
This isn’t all that huge on the list of reasons that Obama shouldn’t be boosting dictators. It’s certainly not “they want to wipe out a US ally in their genocidal quest for a global Judenrein Islamic caliphate” big. But, coming out when it did, it certainly puts an exclamation point on the diplomatic Kick Me sign that Obama seems to have attached to his back.
