- dragonwriter 4y ago> Cuba didn’t push US boundries What does Cuba have to do with this?
- _kbh_ 4y agoIt’s whataboutism to try and excuse Russias brutal invasion and genocide of Ukraine and Ukrainians.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoWe've had similar conflicts and wars in the past, and we must look how we treated them to ask ourselves why are we treating this one differently... except that it was 'us' who started most of the others. European (well, roman) law is based on a set of rules and treating everyone by those rules, and american (case) law is based on historic cases and how we treated those. So yeah, history matters.
- ztrww 4y agoCubans also overthrew a government that had very close ties to the US significantly damaging American business interests in the process. That does not make American action any more justifiable just much more understandable. However again.. how is this relevant. Russia signed a treaty guaranteeing Ukrainian neutrality and independence in the 90s. Which they totally threw away at the first signs of Ukraine actually becoming neutral rather than an Russian puppet state.
