How long will it be before we rethink our current Cuba strategy?

We are moving to normalize relations with Cuba. People far above my paygrade have obviously advised this. I'm just wondering how sure we are that ISIS cells are not active in Cuba. For that matter, do we know all the ISIS cells secretly active in our own borders? What about ISIS Lone Wolves? How long will it be before we rethink our current shift in policy towards Cuba? Or will we ever? I plead ignorance on this matter, but still have some concerns. What say you?

Sir, my brother in law is from Cuba so I would love to see for his families sake an opportunity to see long lost relatives. On the other hand, I don't trust the Castro's as far as I can throw them.

It appears the terrorists in the US are Muslims or converted Muslims. I think Cuba might slightly increase the risk of terrorism. It will be good to open up Cuba and let them have a communist government with a capitalist economy.

when the idiot in the oval office leaves or the money sucking corporations decide they've raped the country financially for whatever they can get out of it, whichever comes first.

I think we already have. The Cold War is Ancient History and we now have a new trading partner to our South. About Bloody Time.

I think the process of rethinking our Cuba strategy is well in the works with the most recent efforts by the POTUS and his foreign policy team to remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List. This is the first I've ever heard of ISIS possibly operating in Cuba? Even if there were operatives in Cuba, I am not sure this would change our relations with Cuba unless we knew for a fact they were harboring ISIS terrorists, which they are not. I would also say that anyone claiming to be ISIS within the U.S. is likely a sympathizer and not a true ISIS operative. These are the individuals who would likely conduct lone wolf attacks however and are some of the most difficult individuals to track.
