      Or America declaring them an enemy that must be punished for a century means most Cubans don’t like US allies, while Russia has consistently supported them and is certainly the only reason they weren’t invaded.

      You know, more, because we’ve certainly tried.

      Even if you ignore ideology… Mercenaries go where someone will pay them to shoot people, it’s kind of their whole deal

          The ones getting their faces eaten by an orange leopard?

          Plus, they’re not Cubans. They’re Americans now. If Ukraine was a socialist state I could see them volunteering on principle but otherwise…

            Average Americans don’t care about the sanctions on Cuba. The biggest pro-sanctions constituency is Cuban-Americans living in Florida. That’s why both parties have held the line. No one wants to risk losing Florida in an election.

            Russia is a socialist state?

            Even if Ukraine was a socialist state (whatever that means), Cubans would still support russia either for money or out of principle. Lets not be delusional.
