Cuban rationalization book - a tool to opress the people of

[Nateddi]

Everyone would lose, the world would be destroyed.

I highly doubt the warsaw pact members would ever wish to go to war.

[Frosty]

Yes. Together they would destroy the world a few times (literally).
Concerning the soviet navy, it was quite decent i think. Back then it hadn't started to rust away in Murmansk.

Around 1982?
The first M-1 tanks rolled in then, right?
And maybe also MiG-29s for soviet.

If we leave out A-bombs, they would all lose, even the "winner", even more than in other wars we have seen before, while those in the crossfire would be completely devastated. But it would depend on China who "won".

Anyone playing Operation Flashpoint? 1984 clashes on middle-sized islands. Good game for being what it is. Interesting in this theme...

Imagine a system where the government controls all aspects of life including the amount of food which one is entitled to.

Since 1962 Castro’s regime has utilized a food rationing system as a tool to oppress the people of Cuba. Rationing continued even as the Soviet Union sent 6 billion dollars per year to Cuba. The regime has never needed a pretext of U.S. policy to justify repression.

your anti-castro style is going to be frowned upon by many here. i thought you should know that.

but, i also disapprove of castro. he should be ousted. let the people rule. it claims communism, right? then why does the commune not rule? why is the commune ruled?

[Kilian]

I agree with Jaha

[GUTB]

Because Cuba is a Bonapartist police regime that was only "Communist" in so far as Stalinist economic assistance was concerned -- an exceptionally low bar to jump over to pass as Communism!

[Hattori Hanzo]

You idiots...

there is a food shortage in Cuba, if they didn't ration food many people, truly most, in the country would starve!

CASTRO IS A PRESIDENT, NOT A DICTATOR

[Domino]

Well, not everything that is said is true. Just the people in Cuba know, so you can't tell. My cousin lives there, he moved there cause he's going to get married to a Cuban girl and she doesn't want to leave Cuba. I mean, really, I know it's not all nice, but there's no perfect place. I aprove Castro, not all the way, but I do.

[Hattori Hanzo]

yeah, it's not communism, it's not utopia, but it is a good country and it has SOCIALISM
