That was also after Cuba nationalized its industries, many of which had US shareholders without paying them, had political purges that murdered hundreds of thousands (Che shirts celebrate a mass murderer) got in bed with the USSR and tried to put nukes on the island.

The idea that Cuba was minding its own business is laughable.

Nobody wants a psychopath neighbor on a moscow leash with nukes 90mi from their border…




You're factually wrong. US tried to invade Cuba (Bay of Pigs) and then (as a result) nukes were put on the island.

I guess Russia doesn't want a neighbor on a US leash with military bases on their border either...

The funniest thing was his hearse braking down and having to be pushed by his soldiers. Really summed the mans contributions…
