“Cuba has a firm and clear historical position against mercenarism and plays an active role in the United Nations in repudiation of this practice,” the ministry said, according to an unofficial translation.

Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to foment continental revolutions across both Africa and South America
I'm sure Che was given compensation during his trips. So Cuba does like mercenaries, but only those that advance their interests.
His 19-year-old daughter remained stoic during her statement, telling Kelly about the positive impact her father has had on her life.“I am everything good that my father has done that you have not seen,” she said.
This doesn't diminish his guilt. It just emphasizes his craziness. Hitler was a nice guy too: loved animals and nature, painted a bit, was nice to kids. It doesn't excuse his crimes.
I think that's in a more general category of "Picard yells about morality or something", includes the "four lights" episodes too.
Seriously, the strongest force in the TNG universe is Picard yelling at someone. That's why the Borg assimilated him. But... their... cadence... is all wrong.
Uh, no. Saturn is in the Museo del Prado. Society is immeasurably richer for it. Kafka wanted his stories burned when he died. Good thing his executor just ignored him.
Part of the reason that property developers are struggling to shift stock is that several cities, in an effort to stabilise the market, have banned developers from cutting prices.
Why do posters from Hexbear defend Russia so much? They're not communist. If anything, they're right wing.
Putin has a government allied with Russian business oligarchs and the support of the Russian Orthodox Church. He promotes the military as heroes. He cultivates a cult of personality. He personally controls billions of dollars. That's textbook Fascism.
Just block and ignore. They do not want to have a conversation. They just want to talk at you. Literally doing what Sartre complained about.
Yes he was a Marxist but here are his thoughts on the Soviet Union:
After the November 4, 1956, invasion of Hungary by Soviet forces, Sartre denounced the Soviet intervention and the submission of the French Communist Party to the dictates of Moscow. On November 9, in the French magazine L’Express, he declared, “I condemn the Soviet invasion wholeheartedly and without any reservation. Without putting any responsibility onto the Russian people, I nevertheless insist that its current government has committed a crime…. And the crime, to me, is not just the invasion of Budapest by army tanks, but the fact that this was made possible by twelve years of terror and imbecility…. It is and will be impossible to reestablish any sort of contact with the men who are currently at the head of the [French Communist Party]. Each sentence they utter, each action they take is the culmination of 30 years of lies and sclerosis.”
