We've had every president since Carter ignore Iran, or appease or bribe Iran.
Next is Cuba!
I wonder if Russia will repeat the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and give them the means to prevent American aggression and piracy on their land?
Probably. It worked out so well for them last time, now didn't it? I see no reason for them not to repeat the same mistake over and over and over again...
.
Which country is repeating the same mistakes again?
Well, I thought the assertion was for Russia to house nuclear missiles in Cuba, so that would be Russia's mistake, eh?
And, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was my understanding that the missiles were not for Cuba's use, but instead were for the Soviet Union's use. I suppose I could be wrong about that, but that was my understanding of it. Folks were upset about "Soviet nukes within 90 miles of the US border". No one was crying about "Cuban nukes within 90 miles of the US border".
But, yeah, I reckon Russia is welcome to roll those dice again and see how it turns out. Trump seems to have a bug up his butt about events in the Western Hemisphere specifically, so it might not be the smartest thing they could do all week
