My whole family was murdered by the government of Cuba because they verbally disagreed with Fidel and communism. No crimes other than speaking out were committed. That's what they're doing that is so terrible.
- ossobuco 2y agoThat's how revolutions work, if you disagree you usually get killed. The thing is that people would get killed for disagreeing even under Batista. If your family was happy with Batista then I don't think they were in a clean line of business.
- zdragnar 2y agoThe US did put an arms embargo on Batista's government, though far too late given the violent suppression of the protests towards the end.
- ossobuco 2y agoI agree, especially considering that Batista had been sold arms until 1958, when the fights with the rebels had been ongoing for a while already (1956 I believe). The result is that Batista fought the rebels using USA weapons, embargo or not.
