Very funny. I’m referring to the fact that they are all Communist, or former Communist nations.

In fact none are Communist. Cuba is socialist at max, China is outright fascist and Russia is a flawed Constitutional Republic.

Ha, ha. Yes, I knew what you meant. ;)

More seriously, this sounds more like a fact-finding mission than an effort to help.

Russia would seem to have the most interest in getting on top of this. There is a foul wind from China.

In fact Cuba is known for expertise in treating infectious decease. Their doctors are all around the world.

It is Romanian. A T-34 with two Mig-21 engines mounted on top. The purpose is to put down particularly big fire.
