  • @xBanny9x He wasn't a pain in the ass to the US. Castro wanted cooperation and peaceful coexistence. But the US marked him as a communist. Which resulted in a trade blockade and the invasion at the bay of pigs. So he had to turn to the USSR and having placed nuclear missiles on the island to prevent an invasion by US military troops. He never wanted to choose sides during the cold war. But the ridiculous US reaction to his ideology left him no choice. The US was a pain in Cuba's ass.

  • I live in the U.S. and I think Fidel was actually a brilliant man. Standing up and fighting for his country. Though he was kind of a pain in the ass to the U.S., a brilliant man nether the less.

  • @bronx7542 not many are starving in cuba. i think they have a lot of jobs for a communist state. they have the best ratio for amount of doctors

  • He does looks like Liam Neeson.... but without the beard

  • @kozmon0t rarely mentioned in American history is the issue whether the Soviets would have retaliated for a strike on Cuba. If the US had known they wouldn't, they could have just bombed Cuba with impunity. But Krushchev played his cards close to his chest unlike Kennedy. Instead of turning his ships back, he let them sit there, and waited till Kennedy realized he couldn't risk an air strike and had no other option than to give up America's first strike advantage - that is, he surrendered.

  • @meronmotors he had no way of knowing what a hotheaded fool Kennedy was. Kennedy could have quietly negotiated to swap the Turkey missiles for the Cuba missiles. Instead he risked nuclear war, and ended up having to do the swap anyway, plus stake America's reputation on his promise to never invade Cuba. Americans are taught that Kennedy won that, but it's a lie. Krushchev won. He ran the Soviet defense of Stalingrad, no way would he lose to the likes of Ivy-league diploma-mill grad Kennedy.

  • @xBanny9x So, If you support him "Fidel Castro "why don't you go and live over in "Cuba" and stave to death. You must be a left wing Nigger.

  • I am Cuban revolution was born in the usa and if you did not do much damage to both the population and the economy had to fidel resources to the Soviet Union invaded us in the Bay of Pigs defeat and humiliate the prisionesros changed by juice for Cuban children with 18 nuclear missiles assembled and made​them shit their pants willing to defend Fidel taught us that death is better to be someone's dog win fatherland or death
