@AverageJoe1
From an old Chuchill story you may have heard.
A fat lady, supported by her husband, says to me 'you are a fool for quoting wikileak"....I reply, yes, I did indeed quote it yesterday, but I have corrected my errors. You, on the other hand, will be fat, and dependent, for the rest of your life."
Sound familiar? Sad stuff. You and Bernie. Sad stuff.

@metal-brain saidIts called stealing and the Cubans and their crooked Castro communist govt what they deserved for doing that.... nothing .. no more trade no more prosperity. Cuba is stuck in time. Have you ever been there? I bet you have not. Its like going back in time to 1959. almost nothing is new or developed. Even the cars are old. and broken down because they cannot buy spare parts or new American cars and they have a bunch of ugly old Russian tincans. Communism and socialism are crooked. Their ideology is crooked and the people that promote these are also crooked.
"Cuba chased out the foreign capitalists"
There you go. You finally gave the true reason why. It had nothing to do with political ideology. The capitalists got screwed out of ownership so they punished Castro and the Cuban people for expropriating property from the imperialists.
@rajk999 saidThe USA stole Cuba from Spain using a likely boiler explosion on the USS Maine as a false flag lie that Spain attacked the boat. Stealing is what nations do.

@metal-brain saidYeah so are embargoes... nations do that.

@rajk999 saidNot to you , Rajik, but to you libs....This all bespeaks that “it is a tough world.” Yes it is, but you libs don’t like tough, you want rainbows and lollipops. Makes me sick.

If y’all moved to Norway, would your families be proud when they se you are living on welfare? You would, you know. Nanny state.
@rajk999 saidRight, but you cannot blame Cuba for it's economic woes alone. The USA stole Spain's colony to make it the USA's colony. Those running the USA want their colony back, so they imposed an embargo on Cuba. My government is run by sore losers and they are lying about Cuba. Cuba's socialist like economy is not to blame for it's own economic woes, at least not entirely to blame.

Cuba does have an impressive educational system and good medical system too. They take care of their people despite having their economy sabotaged by the empire. The Cuban people would have a better life without the trade embargo. Don't you agree?

@metal-brain saidWhy do you keep missing the point? Cuba of course will have a far better life with trade. But they do not deserve to trade with the US. Venezuela did the same thing. They expelled all foreign interests and seized their assets. They are now suffering. They deserve it.

IF they were taking care of their people why the current revolt?
@rajk999 saidDid Cuba expect no consequences when messing with the USA? Of course, today they could get away with anything, having Biden at the helm.

@metal-brain saidWe stole america from he Indians, and many countries over the centuries have 'stolen' countires and territories. That. my friend, is the way of he world. Note that the USA could have put its flag firmly on many countries, but after clearing up messes, we let them be.

@averagejoe1 saidApparently so. The US will revoke the emboargo and change its stance im sure and forget the past if and when there is a regime change to one of democracy.

@metal-brain saidHow do you know the ‘reasons’ that you mention in first paragraph? You font know.

Your 2nd para is laughable. I am always amazed how you liberals take up for all these despotic countries.

@rajk999 saidDont confuse them Raj. Dont you see that libs revel in turmoil and unhappiness? They pretend to want all of this equality when in fact it is just the opposite. They want Pandamonium. Libs are truly not happy, so they don’t want anyone else to be either. I think there’s no question about that.

I'm happy. Teaching kids softball this morning. I will definitely take advantage of the moment to tell them about slavery. But, how to pitch as well.
@averagejoe1 saidYou are denying accepted history. Cuba was a colony of Spain before the USA invaded and took it from Spain.

@averagejoe1 saidI already said stealing is what countries do. Thanks for agreeing with me.
