A government that kills its own people is easier to deal with than a government that ravages around the world killing other people. Those foreign governments, unless they happen to be semi superpowers, have no chance of reprisal against their assailants. The people of the USSR could and did overthrow their government. And that was their responsibility. The problem in the US is the government here exports cruelty and malevolence, and the people in the country rarely see it, so there's no incentive for revolution or justice. While at the same time innocent people get slaughtered half a world away, and the system will continue until that slaughter hits home and people get motivated.
Beautiful sentiments. I can picture you humming the national anthem while you type that. How do you propose that any of this happen while you have an evil superpower ninety miles away pouring literally millions into efforts to subvert democracy and bribe officials? And when are you going to admit that under His Excellency the common person in Cuba has seen more improvements than they ever did under US domination? I want Cuba to be able to have democratic elections as well, but only when the US ceases funding groups there and promises not to interfere militarily or economicly with the choices of the Cuban people as they did in Nicaragua.
I never said it was bad, simply that that was the reason the US didn't crush them. What is bad to me is that if Gandhi or Mandella had wanted to nationalize industries or been friendly to the USSR they would both have been offed by US intelligence. That's what's bad.
And do you know the side effect of that? Kruschev made the US promise not to ever invade Cuba again if the Soviets took the nukes out. That's the only reason Cuba hasn't been invaded again. Of course you'd naturally have a problem with that.
That's no choice. It's either do the ethical thing (which a 170-4 majority in the UN General assembly voted for) and trade with Cuba while your people starve since the US won't trade with you, or trade with the US and submit to their blockade. The US is operating in defiance of UN resolutions and you continue to make Cuba out to be evil.
So would a cessation of American hostilities against Cuba.
Adorable. You think I give a damn about Kennedy? He was the leader of the pig empire. If there were a few more Lee Harvey Oswalds about the world would be a better place. Carilles can kill as many presidents as he wants. My problem is that he blew up a plane carrying Cuba's olympic fencing team for no good reason.
I feel less intelligent just for having read this.
