No Avoiding The Issue
Sometimes there is no way to duck an issue and communications of intent are forced upon a leader and an organization. That is what is happening to the Biden administration now with the Cuban demonstrations. Biden wasn't ready to deal with the growing hunger and destitution on the island nation. He left American sanctions in place from the Trump era. Now he has to decide how to deal with Americans of Cuban descent who want freedom for the island but he has to thread the needle without looking like he is caving to the communist leadership who are blaming Yankee imperialism. There might be no good answer but a series of postures that look like he is concerned without doing much. Cubans are a large voting block in South Florida and they are Republican. If Biden says the right things, he might win some Cuban American support in 2022, but that will be hard to do. The Presidency is a stressful job.
