Yup, another Tech post criticizing the US govt....
King Tech Quadafi:
i agree with the above, i just see the sanctions now, as very useless, im not doubting their use in the past during the cold war
Don Jacob:
i agree that they're a little strict over there with the sanctions , but i dunno i guess the government feels that if they loosen up (especially now) ..nother cold war'esque thing. We just need a democratic nation there and everything would be all gravy , remember Castro is doing more harm to his people with his fucking dictatorship then with those US sanctions
Doggystylin:
i dont see another revolution happening in iran anytime soon, iran just had one in 79, and cuba will probably go though a lot of change after castro dies.....
TheSheriff:
Jake, you're wrong about Castro there, my dear boy. Castro is actually, surprisingly enough to all you CNN-fed people, benevolent. Figures for disappearances are at, I think, 73, all during the time our "hero" Che "Kill The Children" Guevarra was alive...By the way, fuck Senor Guevarra.
The US government last year estimated their GDP per capita was just 4% below that of the Americans, though their overall GP was around 35%; showing the impact of the sanctions. Domestically, they are almost as rich as the US, but in terms of exports and government resources, they have virtually nil due to the sanctions. By the way, Cuba is a socialist country, which has held elections for Parliament every year since 1960. The Senate is elected every four years. The presidency has always been for life...And I'd rather live under Castro than his predecessor, Mister "I'm An American Funded Insane Dictator".
TheSheriff:
Oh, on two other points.
Geezy, your post made no sense, not because of your argument-which, if anyone understood, was probably interesting, as it usually is-but about your lazy ebonics.
And on nobody but the US having nukes...Isn't that against the principles of your beloved capitalist society? It damages free trade...Hmm...I smell a hypocrite somewhere in the house, capitalist one at that...Nothin against Jake, but many other goods are traded freely around the world more than nukes, and by these goods I mean ones that kill far more people than nukes have. I'd prefer Iran having nukes, if only to stop the US thinking it had a monopoly.
I mean, during the Cold War, if the USSR had never had any nukes, and had refused to become a capitalist society, the US would have nuked them. Is that desirable? Shall we kill off 400 million people because they were supplicant to the US demands of disarmanent, without asking anything back?
