    Man, it’s almost like their government gave land for a missile launch base or something at the end of a very long, cold war.

    So weird someone would mistreat a neighbor innocently trying to provide a nuclear Holocaust.

    Edit: here is the /s you weren’t looking for. Be better lmao

      That has nothing at all to do with the US supporting terrorism against random civilians.

      the end of a very long, cold war.

      The cuban missile crisis was in 1962, near the start of the cold war.

      But regarding the cuban missile crisis, the soviets stationed missiles in Cuba in response to the US stationing missiles in Turkey. The USSR agreed to remove their missiles from Cuba when the US agreed to remove their missiles from Turkey.

      But sure the US had to bomb fields and machinery in Cuba, Cuba was coming right for them. Same reason they have to sanction them today, in case Cuba gets nuclear missiles again /s

      They gave them a missile base after the US had already been sabotaging their fields, food, and electrical grids for years and sponsoring random terrorist attacks. Also, they had already attempted an invasion of Cuba by that point with the Bay of Pigs. Of course they freaking wanted help defending themselves. Or does that only apply to the US helping Israel but not the USSR helping other non-settler colonialist countries?
