I think we need an appreciation thread for the great man.

He saw off how 11 presidents and trolled the shit out of the United States of America for 56 years?

He was at the centre of a stand off that almost caused a nuclear war, until America dick tucked and Russia let them live.

He also survived 638 assassination attempts and lived to a ripe old age.

Lets face it the guy was a fucking don.

Who didn't kill Castro?

List of assassination attempts per US administration:

  • Eisenhower: 38
  • Kennedy: 42
  • Johnson: 72
  • Nixon: 184
  • Carter: 64
  • Reagan: 197
  • Bush Sr: 16
  • Clinton: 21

5. Character assassination
When: 1960

Plan A: Spray the radio broadcasting studio with a chemical similar to LSD, so that he would hallucinate on air.
Plan B: Give him cigars that would disorient him while on television.
Plan C: Dust the inside of Castro's shoes with a chemical that would make his iconic beard fall out.

4. Flesh-eating wetsuit
When: 1961

Dust the inside of a diving suit with fungus that caused a chronic skin disease, and put tuberculosis in the breathing apparatus.

3. Exploding seashell
When: 1963

CIA looked into the idea of luring him to his doom with a large, brightly painted sea shell packed with explosives. The CIA purchased a large number of shells for this purpose, but there's no evidence the weaponised marine life were ever deployed.

2. Mafia ice cream surprise

When: 1961

Castro loved ice cream and the CIA hit upon a plan to poison his dessert. They asked for help from the casino mafia who had been kicked out after Castro took power and outlawed gambling. Mafia was able to slip a jar of poison pills to a cafe worker in the capital of Havana.
At the crucial moment, the poison could not be dislodged from inside the freezer. It was frozen stuck.

1. Exploding Cigar
When: 1966

CIA approached a New York City police officer with the idea of slipping Castro a cigar packed with enough explosives to take his head off. In 1960, the CIA laced a box of Castro's favourite kind of cigars with poison, but the package never made it to Castro.

Close but no cigar.

Imagine the control you can have over people if you catch them chopping down trees to make escape rafts - and kill them.

I guess, and this thread kind of proves it - that sometimes it pays to be the murderous warden of an island prison.

Are we talking about guantanamo, where people are in prison without trial for over 15 years? I know thats in cuba.

No, we're talking about the dead guy you're trying to fellate.


Which do you think is cooler?
  • 10's of thousands labeled as dissidents and shot, or
  • 10's of thousands dying at sea trying to escape

Warning: Assassinations by CIA can lead to unintended longevity.
 
Hitler also survived assassination attempts and hated America.

Moral of the story: a beard and penchant for cigars will get you all the respect you'll ever need in this world
 
This was a great man. He did what was necessary to bring about true progress and gave no shits about the United States. Western, capitalist propaganda smeared him for decades, it's good to see the New Media is giving him a fairer shake. I was so happy that he outlived Reagan and Nixon. Too bad Bush Sr. didn't kick it before him as well.

RIP

Don't forget the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in which he defeated the mighty USA.

Yeah...the US really went all in on that one.

The embargo is pretty good and worked as far as keeping Cuba the joke it's been since the Soviet Union fell. As intended. They may have underestimated how selfish and stubborn Castro was but nobody gave a shit after awhile. Except Obama apparently.Hopefully Trump cuts them off again. We don't need to legitimize that disgusting regime. Let them liveon in their rotted infrastructure.
 
lol ^ these two idiots seiger and pure should be sent to castro's cuba to experience how great he was .. I'm sure they'd eagerly go
 
Cuba has 9 waste water treatment centers (compared to say hundreds in Germany hahahah)...

not a single one is operating

Castro was about as inept as humanly possible
 
I was told by an older generation cuban exile how castro's rise went about .. castro was the true conman .. he conquered cuba under the guise of promising freedom and free elections .. completely duped everyone .. he told me people were going crazy cheering him on when he took control .. then shortly after he started shutting down and taking away businesses, hoarding all the wealth and silencing anyone who opposed him or who he deemed inferior
