We learned that for these idiots it will take more than 50 years. Unlike the Soviets the Cubans were poor pawns, but useful pawns in the battle against the West, we collapsed the Soviet system because it was vulnerable ideologically and structurally and ready to collapse. Cuba was largely agrarian and poor from the start, the wealthy capitalists merely replaced by communist oligarchs, the main difference being the capitalists knew how to throw a party, the communist turn to sh*t just about everything they touch. It is unfortunate their people suffered but the smart and brave ones got out by any means necessary, just like those people who broke out out the Iron Curtain, it is not we who were punishing their people, it was their own government doing that.
What should have happened is what didn't happen, or rather what was poorly tried, horrendously executed and disasterously supported...I am speaking of course of liberation and the failed Bay of Pigs. We had a willing group of Cuban nationals itching to take their nation back, but they rushed the op, executed and supported it with stunning incompetence and negligence. They should have waited, maybe another year, beefed up their numbers and training, been fully supported, and with trained Cuban air support flying Cuban colors to support the liberation. Once established on the ground, they could have openly broadcast they are there and ask for the support of the people and for logistical intervention of any friendly states. US Navy and Air Forces could have kept the Russians at bay and the commies in Cuba would be over, the export of commie revolutionaries in Central & South America made harder, and millions made free.
Well, all that is piss in the river...it doesn't matter now, Obama bent over and the story won't end to either of our staisfaction.
About the only plus I see out of this is if normalization allows easier subversion...but not under Obama, not under any E-GOP stooge...
This is the era of failure, surrender and stupidity...the era of suicide...
Piss on it...
