Cuban Missile Crisis
This new generation's disregard for recent history is amazing. The fact these clowns can't see the vital interest in taking out Iran is just the nature evolution if being too dumb to learn from history.

Sorry, I just can’t fathom that Iran would ever have their own Bay of Pigs.

My point, same a Cuban in the 60's, was that if they got Nukes the world changes and not for the better.

We might have to treat them as equals instead of punishing them?

Why should we treat them as equals when they dont even treat 50% of their own citizens as equals?

Was this our same take in the 50's/60's?

And yes, we have that approach to countries all around the globe including Saudi Arabia, Israel, China, Singapore, Nicaragua, Venezuela....

Because idk maybe their main motto is Death to America.

But then again, I also think Islam is not compatible with western Christian society so theres that.

Any country not America needs to STFU about us helping them etc. Help yourself.

The United States is running one of history’s most sophisticated, long-ranging embargoes on Cuba, forcing other countries to choose between trade with Cuba and the US, locking them out of the western trade ecosystem.

The US just abducted the squatting president of Cubas only key trade partner in the Americas, and cut off all supply of oil, which destroyed their ability to even power the island. And your answer is they need to help themselves.

I think we are a bit past that one. We will enjoy paying for Marco Rubio’s nation building project in Cuba for the next 100 years.

They are still a communist government that is hostile to the U.S. and an enemy of ours. That hasn’t changed since the 50s.


Let me add that they've been cozying up to countries that wish us harm since the 50's.

Politically that's their business and I prefer to stay out the business of other countries. I'm not a globalist who needs to force my views on others though.


It’s not what most of their people want. It’s an authoritarian, dictatorship type of government that’s forced on them.

That’s why many thousands of them have secretly fled their country on a boat and landed in South Florida.
