“I don’t ... let Communism take care of them, isn’t that what they “voted” for?
If they had any guts they’d have overthrown Castro decades ago.”
Now is not the time to come to the aid of Cuba in any way. Let Russia, which has said it plans on renewing its ties to Cuba take care of them. We should stay out of this as there is nothing to be gained at all from shelling out our taxpayers’ money on Cuba. Russia and Cuba will be making trouble for us again shortly as Russia attempts to stick it to us through its surrogate Cuba. Let Russia sink its oil money that it has made off of us into aiding Cuba after the hurricane. Geez, what are we, a bottomless pit? What fools we are. Compassion that kills, .... us.
Agreed. Putin and Chavez are supposed to be rolling in oil money. Let them pay for aid to Cuba.
I didn’t say give them aid. I said it is easier for people in a position of safety to make bold statements of overthrowing repressive regimens. Standing up at the wrong time can be hazzardous to one’s health (Hungary ‘56 Tiannemen Square).
I have thought for years that a good hurricane might be destabilizing enough to help topple Castro. Then, I’d help them.
