I think the unfortunate thing is, every country pretty much chooses one or more major world power to be their friend. If Cuba is not okay with the United States as their ally (and it’s reasonable, because we do some fucked up things to allies) then they’re going to pick something else.

Ukraine was guilty of the same thing. In WW2, they were sandwiched between Soviets and Nazis. In their case, they picked Nazi; but may have been unhappy about either choice.

    You're thinking of Poland, who were happy to get a chunk of Czechslovakia courtesy of the western allies and Nazi Germany.

    Before WWII, Ukraine was part of the USSR. Some individuals worked with/for the nazis were reimagined after the breakup of the USSR as national heros of Ukraine, but that doesn't change that WWII was a war to liberate their homeland from the nazis.

    Brutal dictatorship? Cuba had 2 constitutional referendums in the last decade, that passed with overwhelming support. The Cuban government is more representitive of the people than America's, evidenced by creating a healthcare system that favors people over profit, resulting in a longer life expectancy than in America, despite the blockade.

    And yet the guy in charge of all of Cuba worked for the Castro family for decades AND LITERALLY HELD A RALLY CELEBRATING THEM after the US indictment of Raul Castro?

    Next you'll tall me Fidel was the most democratic leader of all time, right up there with the Jong-Un family?

    Before Fidel, most Cubans were basically slaves or prostitutes, Fidel led the revolution, are you surprised a people who went from an unpaid plantation worker seeing their children die of preventable disease to a society where everyone gets good healthcare support the Castros?

    If they were total dictatorship, they wouldn't need constitutional referendums.
