Good news though, I wasn't promoting the Soviet Union! I was simply saying that you don't understand what Cuba was like before, during and after the revolution. And that you don't fully understand either side, where their allegiances lay (note: the Soviet Union had given up on Latin America and the Caribbean by that point... hmm), what their intentions were and how they intended to implement them.

It's actually really easy to learn about it, and basically everyone is in agreement as to how it all went down. It's nuanced, as is all of history, but you can definitely read about it and find out. You just can't be bothered - you've heard that it's a binary situation: that Cuba are the bad guys and the USA are the good guys and that's it.
