Cuba, U.S. to restore relations

Why would you lump ANY communist countries in there? It's a different form of government. That's all. It's not and was never created to be a "kill America" government.

 

Exactly. I'd like to hear Marco Rubio explain that.

 

Except for that whole "world revolution" thing. Fortunately for the capitalist pigs in West, fomenting world-wide revolution is a bit difficult of a task to undertake when a socialist paradise cannot feed its people.

 

Maybe it was 52 years ago now, but Cuba is still run by the same people who pointed missiles at us from just 90 miles away.

 

It was the Russians and we trade with them plenty. And Rubio tried on one of the Sunday Showz. Said China was just so big, America had to work with them. Thirteen million people on some island wasn't big enough to move American interests.

The U.S. treated Cuba like a protectorate and then forced them to align with the Russians to get oil and other needed things.

 

You put the foil hat on again, didn't you?

 

So a Castro isn't in charge of Cuba? Might want to tell that to the 11 million peasants living in squalor.

 

I'll give you that.
Castros, yes. Russkies, no.

 

The "peasants" are for the most part not living in squalor. The economic opportunities are not present like elsewhere in the Caribbean but on average the population lives better than in the DR or Jamaica for example.

 

And at that time we had missiles pointed at the Soviet Union from Turkey, a nation right on the USSR's border.

What part of "double standard" does this nation not bleeping understand?

We're trying to create puppet governments all over the world. We have military bases on half the countries a stone's throw from Russia, and the rest (Baltic states, Ukraine) are U.S. puppets. Why do we act surprised (or worse, outraged) if that doesn't sit well with some people over there?

An oldie but a goodie:

 

I wasn't taking a side, just thought it was odd to include former communist countries. You can disagree, but I think yu understand how some view communists as adversaries. Why would the same apply to countries that dumped it?

 

If that's the case, then why does this joke, which ain't so funny if you think about, ring so true?

Official estimates are that Cuba standard of living is about that of PR and DR, but those estimates are, as I understand it, very, very murky.
