| Cuba imported plenty of missiles from the Soviet Union. They also imported cheap food from China.
As a Communist state that has repeatly denounced the United States, why should the US give anything to such a rude country? Cuba has done nothing to deserve US pity - and in fact, the frequent verbal tantrums by Castro is simply alienating the Americans.
Let Castro create his Communist utopia. He has enough friends. The Soviet Union gave him plenty (after all the Communist "Brotherhood" is strong!). As long as he continues to attack capitalism, I doubt any capitalist is going to be happy sending him aid.
Maybe if Castro allows some form of free elections without rigging them or sending his secret police to execute protestors....the US might just be made happier.
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
