Why didn't the US just annex Cuba in the first place?

At least then we wouldn't have had to settle for shit cigars and Turkish tobacco.... although we would probably never have gotten their tasty sandwiches.

Honestly, I'd rather have the sandwiches than their cigars.

Antebellum Southern senators very much wanted to and Northern senators were strongly against it because it would de facto become another slave state. Later during the Spanish-American war when the slavery question was no longer relevant Congress specifically barred the US from annexing Cuba for various reasons (sugar planters didn't want to get their lunch eaten, no one really wanted to deal with a large new population of blacks and worse, C*tholics), and settled for making it a client state instead.

From what I understand, it was always about money. The Northern bankers & industrialists didn't want to lose their offshore tax-haven or create competition; while the South basically wanted access to Cuba's agriculture market without tariffs, along with potential for a new industrial & shipping base outside the North.

But from growing up around Cubans across many generations, all I heard about was food without foreign influence (and bitterness over Castro pulling the old switcheroo on them). It sucks they're too poor for either; the dickswinging contest between East & West guaranteed nobody won (except the Castro's).

Twitter randos are easy to find, but I'd love to see English-speaking blue checkmarks express Cuba apologia. Here's a couple with the go-to blame on US embargo:

Only Cuban things I'd put into my body are cigars and rum. What kind of idiot would seek out a Cuban vaccine? Probably only good for lethal injection on zoosadists.

it's very useful to have territories you control, but where the natives don't have the same legal protections as your own citizens and civil society is fragmented and unhealthy. this strategy would have probably worked out permanently awesome for the US if the USSR hadn't had its own designs on Central America and the Caribbean.

Good to see people still sucking Cuba's hardened cock

What a retard. Of course Cubans say they are pro regime even if they hate it when talking to a stranger. Voicing your displeasure at wrong time might get you disappeared. Polar opposite public and private opinions are very common in totalitarian places.

I wonder how CCP is reacting to this. Last thing they want is for Cuba's regime to step down as it might give some chinamen and chinawomen dangerous ideas like self determination. Cuba's collapse most definitely will not trigger a revolution in mainland China but it would be another small blow against CCP and make CCP's grip on power just a little bit more tenuous.

Its been a classic talking point from the Left that Cuba's healthcare system is topnotch and better than America's.

The reality of it is cold steel beds, moldy block walls and a shortage of IV drips. ..like any communist country the best hospitals and beds are reserved for party officials and those are generally the ones paraded around as examples.

Cuban hospitals cannot even cope with a few thousand Coof cases.

But at least healthcare is free...like the 7lbs of rice and 2 chickens each citizen get a month which i am sure is also of dubious quality. This ration supplements the average cubans diet because the pay is so weak.

I do hope this leads to something and doesn't just fizzle out, like we've seen in other cases in the past.

I'd want to see how Rose Twitter would react to their favorite "democratic" party being overthrown by its own citizens too. A nice mix of CIA accusations and masturbating to how much more enlightened they are than actual Cubans, probably.

It will likely fizzle out in my opinion. The Cuban police make the Syrian Shabiha look nice. Its like the Mexican cartel being in charge.

Those fuckers have literally done human centipede experiments on dissenters

Venezuelans are virtually all skin and bones at this point, with 99% of the remaining food going to Maduro himself and basic services like water and electricity are shut down extremely frequently, and yet Maduro is still in power. There's no reason Cuba won't be the same.

From what I understand Cuba's medical system has been falling apart for years now. The fact that is the primary reason for a totally legitimate and not glowing like the sun summer of fun is quite perplexing. All things considered the country is poor as fuck and literally is still in the fifties is insane. Not like the people there can really even afford clothes or the basic essentials either, on top of that it is a commie shithole.

When you have checkmarks and pseudo anarco communists come out of the wood work because of this type of event just doesn't rub me the right way. Since we are in the decade of the happening who knows, maybe Cuba might have its first troon leader that is totally not an agent of the Globo-Hommo order to pay those pesky Cubans back for not falling in line with the seething and dilating mandate of 2030.

I've been watching this series of vids of a guy from Cuba seeing what stores in America are like, it's both wholesome and heart breaking.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aBA41QgIty8
