Americans celebrating this death amuse me. The fact you even still care about Castro validates him more than he ever deserved. Tiny island nation that had one moment of actual importance.
And yet he died in his own bed after a year where the US ended the trade embargo....go figure
Making money because what he does entertains the masses. Like Rome
Being a Soviet satellite close to the US made it so.
If it were a tiny island nation like yours, and as far away as yours, it wouldn't have mattered much.
No, not like Rome. Gladiators were slaves. Kaepernic is living the dream.
You just elected a man that boasted about grabbing a women by the ***** and wants to round up people based on their religious preference. What's that saying about people in glass houses?
Oh and if u hate Cuba so much why visit 8 times?
It's like the old saying goes. The good die young; the evil just live on forever, or in Castro's case, long enough for a bunch of naive people who never had to stay in Cuba and see how somebody who wasn't a chance for a PR gain lived to declare what a great leader he was.
Trump only talked.
The Castro government beats, executes, and imprisons as a matter of fact and routine.
Are you speaking from experience or do you have stats to back this statement up?
I give two ****s about Hillary, I'm from the UK.
Fidel overthrew a corrupt government and continued to exist despite Americas attempts to oust him. For that he has my respect.
They weren't visits? What were you the American James Bond? From Havana with love?
I smell a Walter Mitty.
You clearly have no knowledge of Gitmo.
A base all ships of the Atlantic Fleet go for their refresher training, or REFTRA as we call it.
You liked my post? **** it must be drivel
So you are not even gentleman enough to take a compliment from reinoe?
That is pretty harsh and impolite.

It's a stretch to call Castro evil. He just destroyed his opponents and lived with the very real threat of assassination or invasion from a hostile neighbour.
It's still not Castro's Cuba. It would be like me saying I knew Spain because I was posted to Gibraltar.
Americas opinion and image of Cuba is based off decades old reputations and anti communist chatter. Fact is its quite a nice place to visit and has a vibrant tourist industry.
Your basing your view if the country...... Off its tourism pitch?
:lamo:lamo:lamo
Buddy, I hate to burst your bubble, but tourists don't really get to see how a country really is, especially in dicatatorships like Castro's Cuba. They took you to the nicest part of the island with the richest 3% of the population and told that's how the poor live too. You got scammed.
Yet your government is striving to get vavk on good terms with Cuba? What am I missing? What information do you have that would suggest massive Hunan rights infringements?

Obama wants a diplomatix breakthrough to cement his legacy. He doesn't really care.
Other than talking to friends of mine whose families risked their lives fleeing on tiny boats to escape from Castro?
How about....

Castro murdered tens-of-thousands of innocents. It's very easy to call him evil.
So your friends that left Cuba decades ago?
