Cuba

Something is stirring in Cuba. And what do the American politicians do? Shoot their mouth off. Words are cheap and bear very little responsibility. Good old Biden is rooting for the demonstrations. Some politicians say we should help the dissatisfied masses. Typical. This country has a great reputation getting involved on the wrong side.

I remember October 23, 1956, the day of the Hungarian revolution. People picked up weapons against the Soviet Union and its Hungarian representatives. There we fighting on the streets and people died from both sides of this short lived war.

And what did the great USA did? Sent messages saying keep fighting, help is coming, help is on the way. With hope the freedom fighters kept fighting and dying until they realized that there was no help coming from anybody. This country's leaders decided while the people were dying that it was not worth risking a war with the Soviets. This just proves that words from politicians are cheap and are rarely to be believed.

I hope the Cubans have a good sense to know that this country with the exceptions of words and news articles will not move an inch toward giving a helping hand.
