          US is a similar style of “democracy” to modern-day russia, in that despite there being elections, whoever ordinary people vote for they are still fucked and the oligarchs get all the money and power. It’s just that the US political system achieves the same goals with a slightly more sophisticated machinery of “two parties” serving the same interests, which is enough to fool many people into believing they have a meaningful choice.

      Yes, because America has an outstanding track record in making positive changes from meddeling in other countries affairs.

          Stop thinking the US is some righteous bringer of all that is good. The US has only ever served its own purposes and fucked everything up in the process.

          If the doctor said “I’ll cure you” and proceeded to make an absolute fucking shamozzle of every attempt at helping people (Except maybe once??) then I would be pretty pissed at the doctor and prefer the doctor stay away in their own corner.

          In case that analogy is lost on some, I’ll refer you to the illustrious leader invader zim

          Zim: I put the fires out.

          Almighty Tallest Red: You made them worse!

          Zim: Worse… or better?

          //Answer - it was definitely worse.

              No, why do we need to overthrow the government of Cuba in the first place? Surely that’s where the casualties would be coming from.

                  Again I ask: what has Cuba done to you? Or really, literally, anyone else on the planet? Leave them the fuck alone.

                  Have you considered asking if the Cubans living in Cuba want that? What has been consistently bad for Cubans, for like 60 years now, is the unjustifiable embargo that’s still ongoing.

                  And despite said embargo, Cuba has been doing alright. They have done nothing to deserve any kind of foreign intervention by anyone.
