Send them nukes! It's funny to try and imagine Biden being in charge of another Cuban missile crisis
Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
I hope they cite freedom of navigation at the yanks and patrol the waters between Cuba and Miami
Why would the People's Liberation Army of Namibia join in?
That one word had me sitting here smirking like "tell me how I know you're white as the driven snow"
I think people discussed with them for at least 120 posts too many. Though yesterday was a really boring sunday on both hex and grad so i guess this count as prime thread.

I agree. I just gave them the old PPBs and called it a day.
the redditor demon inside of every hexbear has been released in one poor soul
lol, like what would US do if Russia started a naval blockade of Guantanamo preventing supplies from getting there
Probably, but I'm guessing having sea access cut off would be painful nonetheless. Also hugely humiliating.
Was the Berlin Airlift humiliating? About the only guarantee is that it would be an enormous international crisis
Was the Berlin Airlift humiliating?
No, they turned it into propaganda W. But then again, US people are the most propagandised people on Earth, for them literally anything can be turned into a propaganda W.
If thars the case, it's likely that someone knows that a certain someone has placed something very much near the boundaries of a certain country. In such case, it's perfectly justified, as it was back in the day.
indeed, typically this does tend to be a tit for tat sort of thing
I don't. Not if it necessitates an alliance with distinctly and vocally anti communist and fascist regimes. I will not "critically support comrade Hitler."
I'm so fucking cool on the internet guys. I'm totally owning the libs right now.

Thats so sick, Cuba should also reject all aid from Russia because they have different ruling ideologies? With comrades like these, who needs the fascists?
You forget that the ruling ideology here is "Fascist". "Oh no if we don't ally with the fascist, the fascists are gonna win"
Fuck hamas and islamic jihad, you don't ally with Palestinian fascists to beat the zionist fascists, am I understanding your argument correctly?
The “fascists” is your own government. If you don’t oppose them first and foremost you are full of shit
Even the USSR allied with England and the US to defeat Hitler, and the CPC allied with the KMT to defeat Japan. So what is your point here? I trust the Cuban leadership on Cuban military affairs way more than some guy with an internet connection.
This analogy doesn't work unless you believe Cuba is currently close to being invaded. This is a geopolitical alignment, not an alliance of desperation against a genocidal threat. Cuba sees aligning with Russia as preferable to isolation, it is not gearing up for a potential war with the US.
Cuba is not facing an invasion but they are facing a strangling embargo, aligning with Russia is preferable than withering away in isolation.
This is a geopolitical alignment, not an alliance of desperation against a genocidal threat.
Yeah, sanctioning a tiny island and threatening the whole world to follow along in a globalized economy is not akin to genocide.
Are we doing that thing where we pretend the Soviet union is still around and Russia isn't a fascist oligarchy squatting on its corpse?
Are you doing the liberal thing where you pretend a state becomes fascist when you hate it enough?
This whole thread has been most garbage take I’ve ever seen a Hexbear user account of any significant vintage make. It’s like you have almost no understanding of imperialism/colonialism or of “critical support” for bourgeois nationalist movements against them. Almost everyone here disagrees with you, as do many people of the Global South, who also align with and significantly support Russia against the imperial core.
What makes Russia fascist?
The embrace of fascism by its ruling political party, the fascist political structure, the fact that it's built in the image of another fascist state (Namely the US), its embrace of anti-communism, anti-minority (whether those be gender and sexual minorities or religious and ethnic minorities), all the fucking nazis and fascists involved with or connected to the ruling party. Is this place doing a bit right now?
When did it become fascist?
Somewhere around the time Yeltsin took power, did away with the soviet union and any communist project, suppressed left wing resistance to this. And I would say the fascist didn't end when he then handed power over to the guy who is still in charge being a fascist and basically doing the exact same thing more competently.
I'm not going to hide the ball. My point is that fascism is more than just "country has a long-term ruler the U.S. doesn't like."
The embrace of fascism by its ruling political party, the fascist political structure, the fact that it's built in the image of another fascist state
These are circular -- "it's fascist because it's fascist" -- and the last two are the same point. It's not the formal structure of a government that makes it fascist, either; the actions of the government matter more than the words in the constitution.
its embrace of anti-communism
Getting closer, but this doesn't fit the facts. Russia's second-largest party is the Communist Party. While Russia, as a capitalist state, is hostile to communism, it's less hostile than any Western European state, to say nothing of the U.S., and it's nowhere close to your classic examples of fascism like Nazi Germany, Pinochet's Chile, the ROC, the ROK, etc.
anti-minority (whether those be gender and sexual minorities or religious and ethnic minorities)
Painting with far too broad of brush. Every country on the planet has work to do on treating all minority populations fairly, and most have had explicitly anti-minority policies in the recent past. These are reactionary policies and bad, but there's a far cry between that and fascism. Was Cuba fascist before its new Family Code was passed? Is the U.S. not fascist if a queer woman can become a drone pilot?
all the fucking nazis and fascists involved with or connected to the ruling party
There are Nazi elements present in every capitalist country. Is every non-AES state fascist? Seems reductive.
comrade Hitler
Minimizing the holocaust with frivolous and unwarranted comparisons to Hitler are generally frowned upon. I'm not even sure you could compare Putin to Yelstin.
I don't
so you hate anti-imperialism got it
comrade Hitler
Horseshoes go on a horse's feet, not in your head.
Then you are a disgrace to socialism and have failed your revolutionary duty.
I'm sure the cubans are very concerned that you find it cringe that they'd lean on the russians against the global hegemon
I'm sure they don't¨give a fuck, but you guys sure do care a lot.
Why did you pick that name specifically?
You know your name just screams "I'm a pedophile" right?
Ikr? I Googled it yesterday because I though "oh what a neat Italian name, I wonder who it belongs to" and the wiki rabbithole slowly had me go from
straight to 
yeah it is cringe. They should shell the imperialists at Guantanamo bay every time western shells hit Russian territory until the cowards leave.
Hell yeah, we're taking down Putlermort's regime with this one
perfect description
