Wasn't this supposed to be about Cuba? Why are you bringing Iran into it?

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone -2 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

My comment was

Same with the UK not letting the US use bases against Iran, why are western governments pussy footing around with awful regimes that kill their own citizens?

but hey while we're here:

Political scientists characterize the political system of Cuba as a single-party authoritarian regime where political opposition is not permitted.[12][13][14] There are elections, but they are not considered democratic.[15][16] According to the V-Dem Democracy Indices, Cuba is the second least democratic country in Latin America.[17] Censorship of information (including limits to internet access) is extensive,[18][19][20] and independent journalism is repressed in Cuba;[21] Reporters Without Borders has characterized Cuba as one of the worst countries in the world for press freedom.[22][23]

Friends of yours?

Oh, hell, sorry, I had no idea that the "V-Dem Democracy Index" judged that Cuba was the most evil country on earth. Yes, in that case I hope the nazi pedophile government of the united states completely cuts off all fuel, food, and medical supplies, and drops bombs as necessary, until every last man woman and child on the island has been freed. Then they can build some beautiful casinos over the rubble, like they plan to do with Gaza.

Yes. Cuba is lovely. But you're moving goalposts again. When you decided to weirdly include Iran in all this, you included them due a massacre of 30k people. That's a far cry from your complaints about Cuba. So why are you conflating them as though they were the same place?

They're both autocratic. Iran actually has more democratic features.
