Some people here have bought into the cuba's dictatorship propaganda about free healthcare, LGBTQ rights, free education and all that lie: Get in a plane and walks its cities and towns. Doctors in Cuba earn around 40 dolars in cuban pesos a month while the government sell most of the goods at 3x-7x the price in U.S in dollars! The LGBTQ and Blacks are the people most imprisoned in Cuba for any reason. Freedom of speech? good luck, there are minors in jail for peacefully protesting in Cuba on July 11, 2021 sentenced to more than 10 years in jail.

Please inform yourself before spreading the dictatorship propaganda or you become a useful fool for its non elected government and support the misery of 11 million people.

Nothing of what you say matters, whether true or false - Cuba is a sovereign nation, its non of your business to change the country in one way or another. Who do you think the USA is that it can decide for other countries what is best for them?

And there lies the rub right, because Cubans are deciding it either.

What if a country decides that they like a dictatorship? Well, maybe you could argue that they are still deciding that a dictator is what they want. But in general, no matter how a country is run, this does not really give you any ground to interfere with it, whether or not you like how the country is run. If [substantially] more than half of the population asks you to help because they want the country run differently but nobody in power listens, then you might have a basis for action.

that opinion is ridiculous. Based on your assumption then don't help Ukraine against Russia because both are sovereign nations, and the Nazis is Germany where a decision of germans so fighting them was 'wrong'. I'm Cuban and my family, friends and everyone I know have and are continuously suffering that regime. You are the one who cannot tell me that I'm wrong and you are siding with the dictator.

You realize that there is a difference between interfering in a country and fighting back an attacking country? The case of Ukraine is especially cynical, first the west brought them into this position, now they are using them to slowly wear down Russia. Send them enough weapons not to lose, but not enough to win. Eventually they will settle for Ukraine not joining NATO, with Russia heavily weakened and Ukraine destroyed, the winner will be USA.

And I am not siding with a dictator, I am opposing what the USA does. Do you think what they are doing is the best way to achieve change? If they really wanted the government to be gone, they would long have joined the fate of Hussain.
