I do, in fact. But you do realise the Cold War ended thirty years ago, right?

And regardless, presenting a tiny developing island nation and the world's biggest military and economic superpower as though they are somehow equal players on the world stage is just pathetic. :lol:

For one , as has been widely documented , the U. S. State Department has been financing this propaganda campaign . https://thegrayzone.com/2021/07/25/cubas-cultural-counter-revolution-us-govt-rappers-artists-catalyst/ And another thing , Cuba actually does have free elections , and plebiscites . It's apparently the closest real world example of democratic socialism in action .
So I join with others of those who demand that the United States not infringe upon the right of the Cuban nation to self determination .
