So what. Go buy stuff from Brazil, Russia or China.Out of the goodness my loving of heart, I will endeavor to educate you. I know…I know…it’s a losing battle.
Are you aware our government has supported and installed numerous dictators around the world???? So, your argument that Castro was a dictator and our wonderful government doesn’t support dictators, is clearly wrong.
Please read this…the CIA doesn’t deny or even hide their many attempts to harm the Cuban people.
The Cost of Covert Operations in Cuba
Explained Desmond FitzGerald, CIA Chief of the Western Hemisphere Division, in 1964: "These courses of action interact and are interdependent… Our covert economic denial operations are designed to reinforce and be reinforced by our overt measures of economic pressure,” he wrote. “As an economic weapon, [sabotage] is designed to supplement and support the overall economic denial program by damaging economically important installations and to add to Castro’s economic problems by forcing him to divert money, manpower and resources from economic to internal security activities.” Simply put, the United States sought “to destroy the Cuban economy by sabotage, sanctions, and other measures of economic warfare.” Or, per the more graphic metaphors used by the CIA, to expand the “covert aspects of an economic strangulation program” in the pursuit of “tightening of the noose around Castro.”
