He is gone. Forget about him and his geriatric brother. Time removes everyone...good or bad. Time has taken its toll. In a week people will forget that Castro was ever born. He might end up on a T-shirt at best. Oblivion means to be forgotten by all. Cuba if developed carefully will be a wonderful place. It has history and lots of great old cars - also they make good rum. Just don't destroy the place in the process. Old Cuban communists are on their way out. The young Cubans will be happy just to have a good supply of toilet paper and tampons.

Maybe, but don't discount the power of indoctrination. Just look at what it's done to kids in college in the United States.

To be worn by liberal college students like the racist homophobe Che Guevarra?
Castro sent gays to "re-education camps", so he can fit in on that.
Oh comeon. You are brighter than that. Ole Castro got out there and actually led the defense at the Bay of Pigs. And drove the American surrogates right into the sea.
I'm not quite sure what you're getting at.

Because the U.S., especially since WW II has been great at pretend warfare but wanted at the same time to be politically correct. I never thought Kennedy was the great President some make him out to be.

The U.S. always has an instinct to release a chokehold when they get one. Or else why would Obama have given Iran billions while gasoline and oil prices were plummeting to nearly pre-energy crisis levels in inflation-adjusted terms.

And you all (well, only Democrats) wonder why President of the United States Donald John Trump, Sr. Got elected. In a decisive, if not massive, and historic, victory.
I guess again it all depends on who has the forced camps. We depend on China to finance our endless wars. It is common knowledge that China has forced camps and prison labor to make cheap merchandise to satiate Americans appetite.
This thread is about what Castro did. Your attempts at deflection do not erase the horror that Castro put on the people of Cuba.
He deserves no sympathy at all. He was NOT a "great leader".
Nonsense. An unfortunate incident but hardly one that indicts Castro. Stopping the piracy of a boat is allowed under any and all law. The children and others killed were unfortunate collateral damage of a lawful act.
Certainly less evil than the death of small children in US drone strikes. Or the grossly incompetent shooting down of an airliner.
Castro and his brother were and the brother continues to be an enemy of the US. We are better off with their passing. But we need to understand that they are perceived in Cuba and many other places as great men.
We should quietly observe his passing and hope that this unfortunate relationship can become something positive. And yes there will be jubilation in Miami where many have wished him dead for decades. But that should not be US policy.
None of that has anything to do with Castro being a POS or the allegations that US kills out heads of state.
They were "victims" of US interference.
