Castros still in charge of a Marxist-Leninist state, continuing to be full of anti-American piss and vinegar?
Still 90 miles away?
There are differences, but nothing to justify changing postures.
I mean, folks - if y'all can't see the differences between Nazi Germany and today, Imperial Japan and today, The Soviet Union collapsed, even "Communist" Albania, Vietnam and China, have changed drastically over the past 30, 40 years.
Cuba hasn't. The lone holdout.
And we just handed them an outright win.

Lefty elites have no problem with that. Castro only hates republicans. He's willing to sensibly negotiate with Democrats.

That's premature.
There is still time for negotiation before Congress votes to completely lift the embargo.
The re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba is a good idea. Now, we can negotiate on a more normal and less hostile footing.

Cuba was never a real threat on its own -- it was only a threat then because of its relationships with the aforementioned states.
As you said, those states are gone or changed now, and thus Cuba is no threat.
Stop worrying about who is "winning" or "losing" some arbitrary war of morality that has no real relevance to the world of today.
I don't spend my time caring what the Castros think, so I don't really give a shite if they feel they won or lost anything.
