Adios Fidel

And to see one of America's great extortionists, Jesse Jackson, praising Fidel ! Wonder when the Clinton Crime Family will chime in with THEIR love and approval of Fidel ?

Crap. They cremated the old commie bastard.

I really wanted them to do the whole "Lenin" thing. That way all of the liberal/Socialist/Progressive's would have a shrine to go and pay homag too.

What I truly don't understand is why China puts up with having a nut with nukes on their boarder. I would have expected them to make sure he had an accident. It wouldn't be that hard, at 5'6 or so and 300 lbs of flab--and with a serious drinking habit--he is a walking heart attack waiting for the slightest push. Then put a saner dictator in power. It certainly wouldn't be the first puppet government China put in place there. Han and Tang both did. If I remember correctly, so did the Ming. So long as they control their own nukes they are not a docile puppet.

Maybe he is a puppet, and all this other shit is an act?

Additionally, maybe all the nuke tests are really Chinese weapons, with the little dictator and that NBA guy (Dennis Rodman?) as useful idiots?

The reference was primarily to Kim Jong-Un. And yes, Castro was more sane that KJU, and yes, in the world of evil dictators KJU is likely in a lower level of hell. Originally Posted by Old-T

which makes Fidel worse .. because he knew better, yeah?? the difference between dictators is marginal, sparky. you make a lame comparison

It makes me wonder, since Raul is also an old fuck, how much of a power vacuum will present itself.

nothing substantial will happen to reform Cuba until Raul dies, then it's 50/50 which way it turns

That will indeed be the interesting question. There will almost certainly be a contentious "fight" for the new leader to emerge. Will it be violent? Will it result in subsequent purges? We shall see. Cuba is not the USSR nor China. They will figure it out themselves--hopefully themselves without a lot of foreign "help".

At that point, who gets their hands on the nukes? Who do they see as the appropriate target of their anger? Gives a new potential meaning to "car bomb".

As to "maybe they are really Chinese weapons", it doesn't work that way. More so than other explosions, a nuke has a very informative signature that tells a lot about its manufacture. Nuclear forensics is a very interesting topic.

It's too bad that murdering SOB Fidel did not join his side kick Che Guevara in hell much sooner. The world was a better place when both of those murdering SOB's assumed room temperature.

I sincerely hope that after the demise of little brother, Cuba does NOT become a political and economic clone of the US. Originally Posted by Old-T

Cuba is not the US, the Cuban history and situation is not the US. To copy something because it works one place different from your circumstances is not always the best approach. Originally Posted by Old-T

What are you trying to say, Old-T? Which Caribbean countries do you view as "clones" of the US - and examples to be avoided? Why would the introduction of long-overdue freedoms and market capitalism be a threat to Cuba's history or uniqueness?

Your point eludes me.

"We" ought to finish rebuilding and revitalizing Haiti before Cuba, but I realize there are probably more Cuban votes to be "earned" or "bought" in the U.S. than Haitian voters. Since "votes matter" the Haitians will probably continue to live in Hell, unless the Clinton Foundation funds are confiscated for a good cause .... weren't they supposed to be "rebuilding" Haiti?
