    Along with how to destroy an entire’s country economy, quality of life and democracy. I don’t think either that Cuba represent any kind of threat to the US, but for a really different reason than you. You can’t defend Baphomet just to fight Lucifer, because both are two pieces of shit. And how do I lnow this? Because I personally know Cubans, and my country is going in the same direction (and is more or less the same: Venezuela).

      You personally know gusanos who are still butt-hurt over their comprador parents losing their plantations.

      Am Cuban, can confirm. Americans believe so much bullshit propaganda about our country. We have been suffering the 42 years I’ve been alive. Members of my family escaped to the US by any means necessary over the years. It’s the kind of hell you risk anything to escape!

        You realize the rest of the world has been able to freely travel to Cuba and come back safe and sound since the 60s, right? Like…

        We have been suffering the 42 years I’ve been alive […] It’s the kind of hell you risk anything to escape!

        ??? How the fuck do 4.7 million people visit/year on cruise ships and air planes if Cuba is suffering? I know many Canadian-Cubans that visit family and have families that visit Canada no problem.

        Americans believe so much bullshit propaganda about our country

        Yeah, and you’re literally one of them lmao

          That’s a rather weak argument. Rich people travel to plenty of dangerous places. Those places typically then develop high class resorts with security to attend to them

          Don’t mistake my comment to be saying the US is right about Cuba. It absolutely isn’t. I just don’t think “people travel there” is much of an indicator of anything

            In fact; is committing a fallacy of intransitivity, that’s a type of non sequitur fallacy.

            And that’s how it is in Cuba and in my country too, and that’s why I’m able to believe that about Cuba in the first place.

            The Cuban and Venezuelan governments are the same: the vast majority of the population is below the global thresholds of extreme poverty, in a very precarious situation, where basic services do not work most of the time (in my country we are privileged compared to Cuba; here at least water can reach us from time to time, even if it takes a long time [normally more than a month; although the duty is that it is always present], and the electricity is cut off 8 hours a day [at least that is how it is in the state] where alive], but there is almost no drinking water service and the normal thing is that there is no electricity; they can be without electricity service for more than 18 hours); but obviously they are not going to demonstrate that just as in Brazil they are not going to show you the Favelas, they directly create tourist areas that are a bubble isolated from the reality of the country. It is simply a political ploy to pretend that everything is fine, a facade.

          So what you’re really saying is that Cuba’s being economically propped up by the thick rope of tourism, without which it would quickly collapse, right?
