International And yet i was called "crazy" for claiming that Venezuela is a defacto Cuban colony.

[Aegon Spengler]

In my experience people on the left are far less enthusiastic about opposing imperialism, racism, etc when non-Americans/Europeans do it. For the most part they seem to either ignore it or rationalize it.

Because we can do things about our own country bombing people. Vote out the people who make those decisions. I.E. all Republicans.

Whining about what other countries do is a pointless waste of time that the right likes to engage in in order to justify carnage and murder.

Is that all that needs to be done? So for those 16 years when Obama and Billy Clinton were in office, no countries got bombed by the US right?

Are you fucking stupid or just intellectually dishonest? Maybe you should get your head out of your ass and learn some actual history about what political parties have done what. There is far more blood on the hands of Democrats than Republicans. All the way from Andrew Jackson to your boy Barack Obama. Murder and slavery are Democratic traditions.

But mighty Cuba somehow does it to a country that's 300% richer

Funny how we have the defacto dictator of Venezuela claiming otherwise and you still say no.

 

[Beechwood]

That's the opinion I've had for awhile now, that Cuba has a large influence over Venezuela.

 

[Rod1]

Your endless obsession with Cuba and Venezuela, as if they are currently the greatest governmental violators of human rights and freedoms on the planet is, indeed, "crazy".

Its the largest of this hemisphere and does that applies to anything? Trump bad, but have you heard of Mugabe? he was really an asshole.

Yeah it’s rather strange that a Latino is obsessed with Latin American politics.

Yes, let's compare the centrality of my concern over the president of the country in which I am actually a citizen to concern over a poor, foreign, tiny island nation's leadership. Or a corrupt strong man in Africa.

But this is the way an obsessed, crazy mind processes information.

What Rod "is" has never been clear to me...

Is he a Mexican? Is he a US ex-pat choosing to live in Mexico? I honestly don't know.

Either way, people living in a Mexican glass house probably shouldn't be throwing stones at the lawlessness and corruption in other Latin American countries.

"Imperialism bad, except when done by authoritarian regimes like Cuba" mrite?



Cliffs

- Raul Castro is the "big brother and protector of Venezuela".
- Cuban ambassador given complete authority to coordinate all ministries in Venezuela.

They dont have any fucking shame at this point.

Haha!! Yeah... Let's hook our wagon to another country who's economy is about as fucked as ours...

Misery loves company I guess... genius

Yes, i forgot you are the center of the universe and everyone else in the world are just figments of your imagination.

But this is the way an obsessed, crazy mind processes information.

Wow this is so fucking ironic and rich.

Seriously are you that unaware, an hypocrite idiot or are you simply trolling me?

You literally say that you dont give a fuck about the gross human right violations of Cuba and Venezuela because "Im American i dont give a fuck about what happens over there" and yet you accuse me of being obsessed over a regime that that FUCKED people close to me because there are worse in other continents?

"Good for thee but not for me"

Yeah, im obssesed about the worst stain of this hemisphere and what they do to people because they fucked people i care about.

 

[Rod1]

Yeah, weird, after he literally says that he cares more about Trump than Africans because he is American, but i cant be more concerned about Latin American politics because reasons.

I'm trying to figure out how this makes any difference in my life. Does this mean the domino theory is finally happening?

It means that Venezuelan immigrants will continue to pour into other countries including the US. If you’re indifferent to immigrants coming to your country or if you’re indifferent to the suffering of millions of Venezuelans, I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Im 100% sonoran, its not like it hide it.

Right because Mexico is just one big hive mind.

How is the situation all of the sudden worse? Seems like the country has been struggling for years.

So, you are not interested in reading something about Venezuela or Cuba, and yet you are here telling other people that there are worse things they should worry about and please don't write about Cuba and Venezuela.

"left" and "hypocrite" used in the same sentence is the best oxymoron ever.

And besides the Yemeni crisis and Uyghur concentration camps in western China; I don't think there is anything worse happening in the world right now that the Venezuelan crisis, specially when they are bound to surpass the number of refugees of Syria war soon.

Fact: Real socialism is worse than a proxy war involving two world powers (USA, Russia) and two regional powers (Arabia, Iran). And you libtards know it in the bottom of your heart.

Cuban grip on power has grown, at least more openly.

In case you haven’t noticed, the Communists have stayed in power despite US efforts to overthrow them. They have staying power.

Your post is worthless because we could pretty much just delete the War Room except for events that can potentially lead to war.

I mean Chinese espionage never affected me. Russian invading Crimea doesn’t affect me. Syrians getting bombed doesn’t affect me. Why even talk about it?

 

[Gregolian]

I feel like Cigar smokers have been ahead of this curb.

Some of the best non-Cuban cigars that taste like Cuban cigars come from Venezuela and countries very close to it.

Oh I see, it's the red scare. Like the spreading of communism. I go back to my original post, this is fear of the domino theory. Once one country goes commie then the one next door goes commie and they fall like dominos until the US has more commie governments next to it. This wouldn't bother me but obviously it was never a real theory. It was an excuse for war is all. Like the whole WMD thing in Iraq.

I just don't see how this is significant in the least. Perhaps Cuba and some other countries have gained some influence in the region but I think it's more a case of the US loosing influence and respect of the other countries. Our Cuban policy was a relic from the cold war, should have changed it 20 years earlier.
