you know, besides the fact that only one of them is a sovereign nation
to a lib, there are no good or bad actions, only good or bad teams
“And you can tell who’s on the bad team, because they’re fat, and ugly, and covered in snakes.”

If Cuba was a confederate rump state and claimed all of America and part of Mexico then that comparison would be apt. As it stands Cuba is a sovereign nation that the US loves to torture and Taiwan is where all the most corrupt RoC officials fled (with tens of billions of dollars in Qing gold) after they lost a civil war that even Stalin expected them to win.
oh no doubt. but the lib position is incoherent even if you pretend that Cuba acts at all like Taiwan. god forbid they have to face reality
Last time I checked, Cuba doesn’t claim the United States belongs to them (would be based if they did tbh)
China doesn't have a military base in Taiwan where they torture prisoners held indefinitely without charge and without a right to a trial
Simple, Cuba is not wholesome chungus democracerino, it is cringe dictatorship so it deserves every bad possible thing :so-true:
In all of their actions, they showed restraint. So anyway, I could tell that their motives were murderous and vile.
I think a lot of people in Puerto Rico preemptively fear what the US would do should it become a sovereign nation and this is a big reason why independence movements don't gain much traction. Fear actually is a pretty effective motivator.
The difference is that it actually happened with Cuba, while this is pure speculation.
It's not like Cuba because they aren't asking their allies to stop trading with Taiwan.
