    Meanwhile, here's a bunch of Caribbean ministers vouching for Cuba and denouncing its exclusion from the Summit of the Americas:

    Besides being from the Caribbean, I wonder what other characteristic do they have in common that would cause them to sympathize with Cuba?

        "bUt ThEy'Re oN CUba's PaYroLL!!!"

        Whenever another country defends one of the US' official enemies, this is always the line. But when a US vassal state says the same about the US, of course that's just sincere appreciation from a loyal ally..

        It seems like Cuba's entire foreign policy most years is "We have doctors and we're here to help".

          Very occasionally "we have troops and we're here to help end Apartheid"

          That's really what it is. We've even taken in a few after Covid wrecked us and the reactionaries lost power because of their dumbassery. The libs aren't much better but they at least recognize Cuba as a regional power and work with them anyway.
