    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.

          Do you seriously think they went out of there way to get Russia help with not starving and no one else? What connections are you even talking about?

      Yeah, sanctioning a tiny island and threatening the whole world to follow along in a globalized economy is not akin to genocide.
