          https://www.state.gov/u-s-announces-designation-of-cuba-as-a-state-sponsor-of-terrorism/ There you go. It also mentions harboring "criminals" meaning enemies of the usa. Also for not extraditing insurgent leaders during peace talks apparently

    The US sends bombs, Cuba sends doctors. Quite the difference between a country that sponsors terrorism and Cuba.

      terrorism is when you provide your people with good healthcare and the more you provide your people with good healthcare the more terrorister it is

              I'm doing pretty alright! I've been dutifully procrastinating on figuring out what the hell im doing with my life, although the terrifying realization that I have to make some sort of choice is steadily building (hopefully at some point the latent stress of procrastination will boil over catalyzing action but that stage is TBA). Mainly just been trying to enjoy myself to the extent I can while abroad during covid (read: lots of bread and cheese) and keeping myself out of the doomer pits really. Watching the American clusterfuck from a distance is certainly an experience, I'm glad I'm not there right now!

      Almost like they don't do anything which could be even remotely construed as aggressive.

    According to the US Cuban doctors are both slaves and terrorists

    to be fair, isn't the head of the party still a more powerful position than the presidency?

      That's what wikipedia says, but I'm pretty sure the president is still the commander of the armed forces, and still signs laws and appoints ministers. Maybe I'm wrong though, I'm no expert on Cuban politics.

        I think there is the fact that the head of the Communist Party and the Prime Minister (later President) was the same person. Of course, Raul Castro (who turns 90 years old this year) resigned from the latter in 2011.

        As a result, the President position is stronger.
