We never invaded Cuba.

We never invaded Cuba.

We tried just that, we failed and a year later Cuba sought nuclear defense from the USSR:

So if the US has some special right to invade or attempt to overthrow the government of Cuba, why should we not give China that same right with Taiwan? There's no difference, the difference is us, in our minds where we've been indoctrinated since childhood to see US geopolitical actions as always legitimate yet the actions of our chosen "enemies" are never legitimate.

No U.S. forces were involved in that, and that is why Castro remained in power...of course the socialists/communists themselves took care of both the U.S.S.R. and cuba.

Saying that a proposition might be true or might be false is to state a truism.

I notice you didn't address the point of the post; it's "validity"[ you did however verify the "obvious" truth in it'...you made/did a dance production around it that would make a chinese military parade choreographer jealous.

While China also develops the world's largest navy.

they are still pretty far behind us as far as advancement of its vessels... the U.S. has a smaller number of ships, its vessels are generally larger and more technologically advanced
