No wonder America was and is still afraid of him. Cuba has the national heroes America wishes they were capable of producing.
'[In the situation] that we take one of theirs now that they've got one of ours — who should we consider to take out in the context of America?
'Think about it. Are we supposed to take out Spider-Man and SpongeBob?
'They don't have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large landmass, but it doesn't have any heroes.
'All of their heroes are cartoon characters — they're all fictional.'
-Iranian cleric Shahab Moradi after the assassination by way of drone strike of Qasem Soleimani
Imagine the fall out of Iran assassinating Kim Kardashian in retaliation.
I still remember in a call of duty game where in the very first mission you're supposed to be engaging someone who's clearly meant to be Castro; they portrayed him as hiding behind a woman.
It's pathetic the propaganda they spread about this dude; they failed to assassinate him and got owned hard. He died peacefully in his bed and there's nothing they can do about it.
That's the first Black Ops game, which has an excellent Zombies mode and is otherwise filled to the brim with state department propaganda, I'm convinced that COD is at least partially funded by the U.S. military.
Oliver North assisted in the production of at least one of their games, and had an appearance in Black Ops II.
That scene was such barefaced propaganda it was wild; you burst into his bedroom, he immediately hides behind the woman he's sleeping with, the classic COD cliche of everything going into slow motion so you can line up a headshot happens, but then the woman goes for his gun so you have to shoot her too and your squadmate is like "He's brainwashed them so much with Communism that they'll literally die for him even after he uses them as human shields" or some bullshit. There were WW1 propaganda posters more subtle lmao. Personally I like to imagine that she's that angry not because of brainwashing but because the D was just so good :fidel-si:
Even more amazing is I remember after the Bin Laden raid they tried to make out that the exact same thing happened (rather than the probable truth that SEALs were literally tripping over each other to be the guy to get him), which makes me think some bazinga brain in the Pentagon had played the game and subconsciously stole it when they wrote up a fake report.
in the very first mission you’re supposed to be engaging someone who’s clearly meant to be Castro; they portrayed him as hiding behind a woman.
Isn't that literally revealed to be a body double later?
The death of Fidel Castro was the end of everything being "normal." Shit just hasn't been the same since he died because liberals went hog wild at showing the world they can do what ever the fuck they want. Hopefully Xi can take over his spot but I don't feel like he will to the same extent.
Xi strikes me as a man who believes deeply in not intrupting your opponent when they makesing mistakes kinda guy, I mean its payed off big so far.
It honestly makes sense. An aggressive China right now might galvanize and, more importantly, organize reactionaries worldwide.
Better to let them dismantle their own countries through neoliberal greed and deindustrialisation.
Tbh nobody can truly replace this man. He was once in a millenium man
