Cuban Embargo

[Nevanmaa]

Yeah, it's not like they meddled within the affairs of countries like Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe.

It's not like those countries sheltered terrorist organizations like SWAPO and ANC.

poor apartheid, a victim of aggressive cultural imperalism. rip.

Apartheid was ended by aggressive cultural imperialism of other countries who thought they knew what was best for South Africa. Their efforts led to terrorist organization ANC gaining power and cultural genocide of Afrikaners. I hope they're happy.

Going a bit offtopic here though.

"Hey guys, state sanctioned institutionalized racism and apartheid is part of our culture! You can't tell us to stop our cultural practice of treating blacks as second class citizens, that's cultural imperialism!"

1. That was before the Russian civil war, which began in 1918.
2. Which were thoroughly debunked a the time.
3. Not really, also fixed.

In all fairness, though, WWI Germany would have had motivation for endorsing the civil war, given that - if it happened earlier - it would have given Germany a bit of a strategic advantage in the Eastern front with Russian forces relocating to internal positions to try and restore order. That would weaken the Russian line and permit German forces to have an easier time penetrating further east.

I don't really have a source for that, though; just speculation on my part.

You are making philosophy from a simple answer.

Lenin was send there by the Germans to sign a peace treaty with them. That was the Brest-Listovsk traty which ended the war between Germany and Russia.

The Germans got a vaste territory on which they planned to create independent nations. Also look the mitteeuropa plan:

"Never mind that the majority of our citizens are blacks and we don't give a damn about their cultural preferences. Also, when we suppress the efforts of blacks to obtains rights, that's part of our culture to and only your cultural imperialism makes you pretend that the ANC isn't a bunch of filthy terrorists!"

Regardless, that makes Apartheid South Africa a rogue state. Let's see:

Rogue state is a controversial term applied by some international theorists to states they consider threatening to the world's peace. This means meeting certain criteria, such as being ruled by authoritarian regimes that severely restrict human rights, sponsor terrorism, and seek to proliferate weapons of mass destruction.

Apartheid South Africa meets all of these criteria, so.

[Fartsniffage]

It often is when dealing with rogue states like apartheid South Africa and North Korea.

South Africa wasn't a rogue state.

It was a peaceful and stable conservative state that was destroyed by aggressive cultural imperialism.

You're funny. You should go on stage somewhere.

[Ephrath]

Due to the recent actions of Obama shaking the hand of Raul Castro, I was wondering what everyone thought about the necessity of the Cuban Embargo. Does it do more harm than good? should we still wait for a regime change? or should we end the embargo right now? What do y'all think?

I'm not so sure a handshake really means all that much...

"Treating blacks as second class citizens and denying them political participation or self determination is our culture!"

It, obviously, does more harm than good. I say be rid of it now.

I wonder if he would be willing to extend this protection against cultural imperialism to Castro's Cuba?

It was most definitely a rogue state, but Nevanmaa doesn't believe in "cultural imperialist definitions".

I say we turn Cuba into a theme park.

As long as any country supports banning religion to any extent, they support letting the civilized world cut themselves off from them.

Have you ever seen Cry Freedom? You make it seem like apartheid wasn't that bad nor did it permanently affect the country.

A good thing that the Cuban constitution was amended in 1992 to allow freedom of religion.

Batista was way ahead of you on that, except he was actively turning Havana into the world's finest tourist, gambling, prostitution, and drug capital of the world.

In other words, thanks to Batista's efforts, Havana was at one time the perfect place for a family vacation.

Unless you're Cuban.

In that case it's just the equivalent of a middle school.

[Rio Cana]

:rofl:

They still have this?

No wonder that the Cuban people are so poor, old-fashioned and detached from the rest of the world.

To be fair. All thoose Spanish speaking countries are like "hurr burr teh ebul rich people r exploiting us. Che is a hero. Ebul imperializt Murrica".

Because of such mindset they will always be poor.

In what century are you stuck in. Many of the nations South of the US are having good growth. Yes, some more then others but at least it is happening. It seems to be because of globalization. No longer are they tied to US companies who say "take it or leave it" when it comes to imports or exports. Globalization ( yes China, the EU, Japan, SK.,India, Russia and some others) have leveled the playing arena to the dislike of some US companies who tended to dictate to some of those governments South of the US.

My grandfather actually gambled in Havana in the 1930s. During the Depression with little to do, you might as well have fun with what little money you have.

[Arglorand]

Cuban Embargo is a good thing.

And it gives anyone what, exactly?

Cubans have always said that USA is somekind of an evil empire. Let them live without that "evil empire" then.

That must be why so many Cubans immigrate to Florida.
