Cuba is a puppet state vassal for China and Russia.
That is why they are the lone island nation singled out by US forces.
All they have to do is cut that coord, fellate the orangutan’s ego on TV a bit, give him a trophy for being the guy to solve a century long feud and getting an “amazing” trade deal going, and in a couple of years they could even go right back to being the massive assholes they were before.
Ask yourself what the longterm outcomes are for Cuba? I can’t imagine a single future where they aren’t the voluntary sacrificial lamb ready to be torn apart at any moment, unless they cut ties with the east.
In that argument, you could replace every instance of Cuba with Taiwan, the US with China and the Russia with Europe, and it would be the exact same argument many make about Taiwan. That argument is a lot easier for people to reject, but both are equally flawed, because they both disregard the self determination of the citizens of those countries. China and the US need to just let small nearby islands be.
The difference is that China has a history of conquering lands around them, and has declared they want to conquer Taiwan and keep Taiwan.
The USA has not only not conquered lands since WWII but actually returned sovereignty to former territory since then. Americans don’t want Cuba.
China is a dictatorship, and despite their election meddling the USA isn’t there yet.
You want them to cut ties with the only people stopping America from geniciding them via famine?
Yeah no geopolitics 101 don’t put yourself at the mercy of America.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Ah this must be the North Korean flavor of Tankie if it believes US Soldiers eat babies.
Oh, the attrocities! Oh, look at what they did o Trinidad and Tabago! And Carribbea! It’s gone! They’re all gone! And Hait, too! /s
Cuba is facing hardship only because it is volunteering to be used to threaten the USA.
I think the unfortunate thing is, every country pretty much chooses one or more major world power to be their friend. If Cuba is not okay with the United States as their ally (and it’s reasonable, because we do some fucked up things to allies) then they’re going to pick something else.
Ukraine was guilty of the same thing. In WW2, they were sandwiched between Soviets and Nazis. In their case, they picked Nazi; but may have been unhappy about either choice.
You’re thinking of Poland, who were happy to get a chunk of Czechslovakia courtesy of the western allies and Nazi Germany.
Before WWII, Ukraine was part of the USSR. Some individuals worked with/for the nazis were reimagined after the breakup of the USSR as national heros of Ukraine, but that doesn’t change that WWII was a war to liberate their homeland from the nazis.
Nazis forces? In 1991? You fuckin Tankies, man.
