[zaloo]

the point of the video is that those Soviet troops were there since 1962 as a tiny non assault force, but all of a sudden, after seventeen years, the media made this an issue to fuck with Carter.

Who would've guessed a small country like Cuba would be a Foreign Policy force

@FRSFreeState They were MADE a Foreign Policy force by the USSR, but with due credit they expanded their influence (they being Cuba) as far as Africa. One example: the battle for Angola in the 1970s.

The Russians in the Late 70's were constantly challenging President Carter because they thought Carter was weak & wouldn't respond.

President Carter needs to step down and let Ronald Reagan.

Carter tried to kiss ass,

Reagan just kicked it.

Carter needed Sam to yell at him, Reagan had to invent him.
