I ask how can Kremlin be good Havana bad. Can you trump supporters please explain this to me, and one reply I received from trumpanzee was as a liberal I fail to see the big picture. So I fire back ok I was infantry west Germany doing Cold War I get that picture and it was pretty black and white. And I asked him to go into detail on Havana being bad , he got frustrated and walked away I hollered if you can explain it to me the big picture get with me then.

All the while leaving investment in Cuba to Russia and China. Watching Little Marco sell out the Cuban Communities to Trump, Russia, and China added a Faustian dimension to the day. It is understandable why nations hang and shoot spies and traitors.

Cuba is a Marxist-Leninist system. Trumps idiotic decision to reinstate the restrictions on Cuba is deplorable, but your framing of it is wrong.

Casting the Russians into the Cold War ideological battles in addition to being grossly inaccurate misses what is really going on: a global resurgence of right wing authoritarianism in a scale not seen since the 1930s.
