Cool, let me know how their tourism industry turns out after they finish.
I’m sure getting all of this press is worth it if they scare away the people of the richest nation in the western hemisphere that is closest geographically to their tiny islands.
I’m sure they can replace American tourists.
There's a reason they applied to join Canada. After Cuba, T&C is super popular for chilly Canucks to go visit.
They can join whomever they want. If they want to partner with the second largest economy in the Northern Hemisphere which is a fraction of the size of the US in population go for it.
That strategy worked sooo well for Cuba. 😁
Can I go somewhere where the irresponsible gun freaks don't feel appreciated? Sign me up!
(I respect responsible gun owners, within reason. If you can't even keep your bullets under control before flying abroad, shame on you.)
Lol, you've never gone shooting then and it shows. A case of ammo, I can understand but two rounds is nothing and should be a fine and on your way. They aren’t smuggling anything of real value.
I suspect we’ll see a lot more of these stories in the news. If you want to get rid of your SO it would be so easy to send them on a vacation to Grand Turk and drop a few rounds in their suitcase. Bye, Bye wifey for 18 years.
You know one of the reasons why Cuban tourism was then wasn't then now is so popular? Because Muricans can't go there. Seriously. People would flock from all over North America, except Murica, to Cuba and get to enjoy a civil holiday devoid of a bunch of angry yelling tourists demanding they do thing a certain correct way.
Countries like this in the world today in 2024, will be just fine. American tourism is declining to the point of irrelevance for everybody but the 1% Americans. The Chinese have the crown but COVID paused their global ambitions. There are many tourists that try to go out of their way to avoid American hotspots when on holiday for good reason.
You decided to use a country that can’t even feed itself and is currently going through the worst economic crisis in it’s history as your example of a success because of a lack of American tourists… Riiigghhhtt

Just like Iran, these issues are caused by the US and economic warfare, ie sanctions. Learn about how your country enables Genocide all over the world before replying again.
Lol, you picked the example using that big brain of yours bro. It’s amazing that you think an absolute failure of a state like Cuba is a shining example of how a Caribbean country survives without American tourists.
