Cuba’s president praises Putin, blames US for invasion of Ukraine
El Pais ^ | 11/22/2022 | JAVIER G. CUESTA

In a visit to Moscow, Miguel Díaz-Canel showed his support for Russia’s leader, in exchange for the postponement of debt payments.

Cuba and Russia are united by sanctions and historic confrontations with the United States. On Tuesday, the leaders of the two countries – Miguel Díaz-Canel and Vladimir Putin – met in Moscow to strengthen their bond.

“We denounce the sanctions against Russia and the sources of the current conflict… make no mistake, Russia is not responsible,” the Cuban president said at the beginning of his meeting with Putin. He went on to accuse Washington of expanding NATO “in an unacceptable manner” towards the Russian border, while praising “the vigorous historical analysis” that Putin has used to justify his armed offensive and the annexation of sovereign Ukrainian territory.

-snip-

Before holding their meeting, Díaz-Canel and Putin inaugurated a monument to Fidel Castro in the Moscow neighborhood of Sókol. It wasn’t a long ceremony: the homage to the man who ruled Cuba with an iron fist for nearly half-a-century was cut short, as freezing rain covered the Russian capital with ice.

“Together, we will further strengthen our alliance and defend the great values of freedom, equality and justice,” Putin said during the ceremony, as a group of Russian soldiers in formal dress laid bouquets of flowers next to the statue.

-snip-

The deferment of debt repayments to Russia that Díaz-Canel managed to secure just before the invasion began has been essential. The state-led Cuban economy is in ruins; more than 200,000 Cubans have fled the island in 2022, desperate to make a living elsewhere.

Cuba defaulted on its Russia debt in 2020 and asked for more time. Now, under tougher sanctions, the Kremlin needs revenue more than ever, but Cuba still can’t pay up.

It’s not a surprise these Putin-lovers are casting Reagan to the curb.

Gotta defend that murderous pig in the Kremlin at all costs.

It was indeed a long time ago when Reagan was in office, and Trump was a little better, but gone is the nation that gave him a 49-state landslide.

In any case, Conservatism doesn’t change much because the laws of nature don’t change much.

RuSSia’s behavior is exactly the same as it always was with theiving bandits stealing everything that isn’t nailed down and commiting warcrimes similar to what was seen during the Nazi soldiers’ invasions.

They’ve done it SO MANY times before and Reagan was as right then as he is now.

It works in cahoots with Commie China and all our terrorist enemies to do everything it can to weaken us and it doesn’t make one a “globalist zealot” to care about that.

No one but the freakshow brain of a Putin-lover would want to live in a world dominated by these totalitarian beasts.

You can tell by their hysterical off-topic comments, when their commie followers are uncomfortable with naked publicity about their leaders’ relationships.

Little Russia has also been sucking up to China for a long time in hopes of obtaining some kind of dependable military backup for its invasions. But there’s no reliability in a pact between communist/fascist nations. Both sides are too Machiavellian, psychopathic and narcissistic for that (Dark Triad).

And?

Does that make it any better for Nazi Freeland and her Nazi war bond drive for Ukraine knowing that Nazi Freeland’s grandfather was a Nazi?

Furthermore, Russia picked up the goosestep long before Nazi Germany existed.....try 1796–1801 under the reign of Paul I.

Resident of Canuckistan and your simplistic circle logic that only residents of Canuckistan can have......

And at least I don’t have a photo of a racist Marxist pig like Malcolm X on it.

One’s heroes reflect what kind of person they are.
