Nowhere in the world a communist pary has received 51% of popular vote ,in free & democratic elections...
Always & everywhere,the commies seize power by force & run a dictatorship...
Cuba was never our enemy....WAY back in prehistoric times [1960 or so] Fidel Castro came to the US and asked the President of the United States if he would assist him in overthrowing the Dictator Juan Fulgencia Batista and if he would Castro would be a lifeling friend of the US.
The president said oh noooooo Juan is our friend and he gives us cheap sugar.
SO Fidel went to Russia and he asked Uncle Nikki Kruschev if he would assist him in overthrowing the Dictator Juan Fulgencia Batista and if he would Castro would be a lifelong friend of the USSR.
Nikita said OF COURSE Fidel....we would be glad to help.
It never was our enemy. If we had said "Mr. Castro, welcome to the community of American nations. We will be watching with interest your experiment in social democracy. If there is anything we can do to help the Cuban people prosper and flourish, please let us know."
What would have been the harm in that? How would things have turned out 50 years later? Would Cubans be better off now than they are?
Yes. Because at one time, with the USSR's help they could have pasted the East Coast with nukes. And the same men who were in power then, and hated our guts then, are still in power and hate our guts now.
I have to admit, when a country like the United States denies healthcare to its citizens, allowing them to die, and runs a torture camp on the coast of Cuba, I wonder: What exactly is so wrong with Cuba? Who do they torture? What wars have they started?
We have seen the enemy, and he is thee.
USA and Cuba are strange bed love partners really. And Cuba needs the USA, way more than the USA needs Cuba.
No they aren't, but the cia would like us to believe it is so.
history repeats itself, sadly. Over and over.
