Cuba Offers to Pay Reparations

Nope. We should clear the Commies out the same way we did the Spaniards and give the island back to the Cuban people. Again.
The nice thing about a communist government is that they have a lot of assets. Theres a lot of Luxury hotels in tourist areas that the government owns for example. Those can be privatized and sold off or shares can be given to Miami Cubans in proportion to their claims. Cuba also has some oil and copper I think. Not a lot but you can get money from there too.
You just have to be a bit creative but theres money there if you want it.

Yes — Cuba has recently signaled willingness to negotiate compensation (“reparations”) for U.S. citizens and companies whose property was nationalized after the 1959 Revolution. This is exactly what the article in your open tab is discussing.
But the story is more nuanced, and it helps to understand the legal and diplomatic context.
According to the page you’re reading, a Cuban deputy foreign minister told Drop Site News that:
These are mostly corporations (e.g., Exxon, Coca‑Cola, ITT) and wealthy individuals whose assets were nationalized.
Spain, Canada, Switzerland, and the U.K. all reached settlement agreements with Cuba in the 1960s–1980s.
Because the embargo and diplomatic freeze made negotiations impossible.
The article you’re reading suggests Cuba is now willing to:
Cuba’s offer does not imply:

What Cuba Is Actually Offering
According to the page you’re reading, a Cuban deputy foreign minister told Drop Site News that:- Cuba is prepared to negotiate a lump‑sum compensation package
- The initial figure mentioned is $9 billion
- The offer is aimed at resolving claims from Americans whose property was seized after 1959
Historical Context

What’s New Here?
The article you’re reading suggests Cuba is now willing to:- Put a specific dollar figure on the table
- Engage in direct negotiations
- Frame it as part of a broader reconciliation effort
What’s
Cuba’s offer does not imply:- Reparations for mob‑owned casinos (as the forum thread jokes about)
- Compensation for people whose ownership was never legally documented
- Any admission of wrongdoing beyond the nationalization itself
Where This Could Go
Whether anything happens depends on:- U.S.–Cuba diplomatic relations
- The U.S. political climate
- Whether both sides can agree on a valuation method
- Whether the U.S. lifts or modifies parts of the embargo
I cant imagine Cuba agreeing to reparations with other countries. All I see is there was a debt of 11 billion which Cuba defaulted on and they agreed to pay 2 billion on.Yes — Cuba has recently signaled willingness to negotiate compensation (“reparations”) for U.S. citizens and companies whose property was nationalized after the 1959 Revolution.

According to the page you’re reading, a Cuban deputy foreign minister told Drop Site News that:
This aligns with long‑standing Cuban policy:Cuba has always said it is willing to compensate claimants — but only as part of a broader normalization agreement with the U.S. (which has never been reached).

The article you’re reading suggests Cuba is now willing to:
That’s a meaningful shift in tone, even if not yet a formal agreement.
- Put a specific dollar figure on the table
- Engage in direct negotiations
- Frame it as part of a broader reconciliation effort
Cuba’s offer does not imply:
The Cuban government’s position has always been:Nationalization was legal under international law, but compensation is owed.
- Reparations for mob‑owned casinos (as the forum thread jokes about)
- Compensation for people whose ownership was never legally documented
- Any admission of wrongdoing beyond the nationalization itself
Whether anything happens depends on:
Historically, these negotiations stall because each side wants concessions the other won’t give.
- U.S.–Cuba diplomatic relations
- The U.S. political climate
- Whether both sides can agree on a valuation method
- Whether the U.S. lifts or modifies parts of the embargo
The important thing about reparations is that Cuba admits id di wrong.
can you provide some links with their reparation agreements with the other countries?
The US will receive reparations before Black people doCuba offering to pay US reparations? LMAO!!!!!!! Leftists everywhere are going to lose they're minds! What's left of them anyway!
How delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, lets see, the same demographic grouping that lead drug abuse and porn frequency just happen to also be the same age group that you say monopolize twitter, what a coincidence
Due to algorithms, frequent twitter users become actually less informed being less exposed to varying views and content. not to mention being constantly subjected to stupid tweets from stupid people
Plenty of studies showing how twitter dumbs down viewers, reduces attention spans, and can make recurrent users emotionally withdrawn
And twitter isn’t summarizing, your “college level students” reference is comical
As I said, for those comprehend content beyond 280 characters
That's quite a stretch, Anchovies. I'm glad you're getting some exercise.
BTW, I didn't say that any age group monopolizes X, Anchovies, because none does. I did make a mockery of your claim about school kids, though.
Poor Anchovies.
So you say, Anchovies.
Ah let’s see, per your post, “this means roughly 70% of X users worldwide are aged 18-34,” seventy percents sure sounds like the overwhelming user of twitter
It's obvious you don't know what "monopolize" means, Anchovies. Nor did I say anyone was "monopolizing" X.
Poor Anchovies.
Hey pal, that’s what you claimed, I just used it to prove my point
No, it isn't, Anchovies. That's why you didn't cite my post.
No, you didn't, Anchovies. You've misrepresnted what I said, moved the goalposts, and presented uncorrobrated statements.
You've been humiliated again in this thread. I am beginning to suspect that you enjoy it.
Poor Anchovies.
Hey pal, that is what you claimed, no moving goalposts, no misrepresenting, even included your exact quote, it is what it is, no matter how much you attempt to squirm out
Once again you lie about what I posted, Anchovies. You fail to use the quote function for a reason. I know what that reason is, Anchovies.
Poor Anchovies.
So now you never said “this means roughly 70% of X users worldwide are aged 18-34?”
NEXT
Yes, I said that, Anchovies. What I did not say was this:
And you never posted any evidence for your other claims, did you, Anchovies? Do so now, if you can.
Poor Anchovies.
Black Americans have been made more than whole long ago. There is nothing further due.The US will receive reparations before Black people do

Based on what I'm seeing from Florida Cubans,
we're probably taking the wrong approach.
If ICE really wanted to make themselves useful,
they should be sending many of these American-born people to Cuba.
They're right-wing nutjobs, and Diaz-Canal
can probably deal with them better than we seem to be able to do.
