I had a baseball coach in high school who had played in the major league for awhile. He told us about playing in Cuba before the revolution, and playing against Castro. He said Castro was an outstanding baseball player, but after games would go up into the hills and have political meetings. Too bad Castro wasn’t signed by some major league team. Maybe world history, with regards Cuba, would have been different.

Deaths under Castro, and forced labor camps: http://babalublog.com/fidel-castros-greatest-atrocities-and-crimes/fidel-castros-firing-squads-in-cuba/

“The estimates of Cubans killed range from 35,000 to 141,000 (1959-1987) according to the site of R. J. Rummel. More estimates of death tolls are listed below...”

Clarifies the writing on the wall...

As a side note, I have used your screen name as relating to Hillary/Bill (explains mene mene, one for each)

She/they has/have been weighed in the balance and found to be lacking.

I don’t know who the annointed successor will be, but until the Communist regime is pulled out by the roots it really won’t matter who the “President” is.

Cuba gets over a million Canadian tourists a year. That’s a lot of useful idiots giving the Communist regime the hard currency that it’s been missing since the collapse of the Soviet Union. I trust that President Trump will revert Obama’s Communist-friendly policies regarding Cuba. Now is not the time to go wobbly.

If I had to pick, I’d go with Soros over the Lil Castro.

Tonight Russian TV anchor Kiselev praised Castro for “being prepared to put Soviet rockets in Cuba & aim them at America”
