you have to remember cuba literally is trading and has good relations with ussr durin the entire cold war

their relationship was good actually but after castro did the agriculture reform and stuff, it caused a lotta american businesses to suffer, and including him sponsoring revolutionary movements it caused their relationship to turn bad

yeah i get that, but their relationship was pretty good before the internal conflicts that was happening in the country

first of all, racial tensions are not what led to the politicization of masks, second, you could of made the point that minority groups in america live disproportionately in poverty and work low-wage jobs where they are more likely to be in workplaces that are more prone to covid outbreaks, and because of the lax lockdown protocols this led to them being more impacted by covid. but ethnic diversity itself does not equal more cases of covid.

also, cuba has a large mestizo population and there is a large afro-cuban population/black population (ive seen estimates that 10% of cuba is black, and as high as 33% are afro-cuban). it is not some monolithic country.

oh

apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-us-cases-rising-03150d6404004711b80e9bd6ff0d410d

cases doubling over 3 weeks lol

you realize america isn't the most diverse country in the world right ?

It's not a monolithic country, but you listed 3 groups compared to the dozens in America. My point is that managing 11 million people on an island with no one going in or out is a lot easier compared to a country of 300 million+ that never enforced any real lockdowns

Name one that's more diverse with as many people. Scale has to mean something as well

a lot easier when the government is responsive to the people and not to corporations as well

india

And we're acting like tr*mp wasn't in charge for an entire pandemic year.. again f*** America, but I'm not sure what that one statistic is supposed to prove

And how are they handling covid

are u just bein like this on purpose or no

no, you asked how america was doing since we got a realm president

better than america did

yeah and biden and is doing much better compared to trump did with handling covid. how can u deny this ? over 500k people died under trump administration

I mean all the states with high per capita were republican states. South Dakota led the way with their dumbass gov.

In no way is having good relations with the USSR a justification for US aggression against Cuba, I hope you don't actually believe that yourself.

for america, it 100% is, espically during the cold war

Like you said "their dumbass gov", it has way more to do with governance, not just the population taking it seriously or not

OH and the fact that cuba doesn't really provide anything to america is also a reason why america put embargos

"You don't provide economic growth to our country so get genocided"

lmao good lord

According to the Truman doctrine it was, which is just pure imperialist thought, if you subscribe to that yourself then you're way too far gone lmao

yes and it was f***ed up that america did that i dont think anyone agrees with that

also the reason the embargos still exist is because they don't provide america with anything

huh ? america was scared of communism being implemented in souyth america because it would cause isolation and they didnt want pro-soviet governments
