Why smart? The goal is to get the oppressive communist regime of cuba to collapse, how is helping them going to get them further towards this goal?
Same with the UK not letting the US use bases against Iran, why are western governments pussy footing around with awful regimes that kill their own citizens?
Can you cite the oppression? Because I have seen you get free medical school there and they have cancer treatments other countries don't.
The guy support israel no wonder that he love collective punishement of cuban people
Why do I have to do all the work
By other countries do you mean America?
We also have access to free education: https://tafeqld.edu.au/courses/apply-and-enrol/subsidised-training/fee-free#courses
We also have universal healthcare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Australia
They also can't afford it

Sounds like Cubans have almost made up their mind and voted with their feet:

The western governments, I will remind you, are run by nazi pedophiles
Canada is run by nazi pedophiles? Damn I had no idea
Australia isn’t, when you say western governments are you meaning to say the American government?
In short: it is bad to help any regime do collective punishment on a group of people.
And replace it with an oppressive capitalist regime willing to sell the country to American capital, don't forget that part. We already fucking know what America bringing "democracy" means, and nobody with any decency should be cooperating with that. Clearly Canada's goal is to not (or at least look like they won't) let America starve Cuba to death.
As opposed to western governments that kill other people's citizens?
Don't you know? When I kill citizens, it's called freedom. When someone else kills citizens, it's called tyranny.
Governments I like are called governments, governments someone else likes is called regimes.
Don't you want to support freedom? Why are western governments so against freedom? Why is Canada playing pussyfoot with oppressive tyrannical communist regimes?
The person who thinks this post is legit doesn't deserve an /s.
I mean, I'm just listening to Cubans themselves, they call it a regime.
One of Cuba’s most prominent former political prisoners, José Daniel Ferrer García, the founder of the opposition group Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU), went into exile in Miami in October after decades of activism and multiple imprisonments.
“Most Cubans, inside and outside, want change,” he says. “But you cannot lead opposition inside Cuba because the regime jails any potential organiser immediately.”
Another exiled political dissident, Luis Leonel León, Miami-based director of the Cuban Studies Institute, argues that forced exile has always been the regime’s fix – sending generations abroad and giving rise to what he calls the “empty island”. For many, he says, hope is so diminished that even rebelling seems pointless; the best option is to leave rather than fight.

In the Iran case, there's a concern about what happens after the US blows stuff up and then leaves.
FTFY. I really wouldn’t wanna live in Cuba but don’t tell me the west are the good guys.
Btw "pussy“ as an insult has become kind of weird to me, what makes you use that for something you perceive as "weak“? E.g. being bitch would serve a similar purpose but the meaning of the word seems to actually relate to what you’re trying to express no? Honestly curious.
That's not what the term "pussyfoot" means.
Interesting, thank you! not a native speaker but I guess I could have looked this up myself.
How many citizens has Canada killed recently? Is it upwards of 30,000?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres
Can you point to me any recent Canadian government massacres?
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/pussyfooting
Also what makes "dick" mean being rude or "dickhead" meaning acting stupid? who knows
Mossad rioters being called peaceful protestors is the warmongering narrative. Israel media proudly boasting about Mossad rioters, and Ted Cruz calling to arm the Mossad rioters more, exposes the pure demonism of the empire. This message was provided in the off chance that you are fooled by demonic agenda, instead of an active promoter of demonism.
Israel killed st least 70k you always defended it
Wasn't this supposed to be about Cuba? Why are you bringing Iran into it?
My comment was
but hey while we're here:
Friends of yours?
Oh, hell, sorry, I had no idea that the "V-Dem Democracy Index" judged that Cuba was the most evil country on earth. Yes, in that case I hope the nazi pedophile government of the united states completely cuts off all fuel, food, and medical supplies, and drops bombs as necessary, until every last man woman and child on the island has been freed. Then they can build some beautiful casinos over the rubble, like they plan to do with Gaza.
Yes. Cuba is lovely. But you're moving goalposts again. When you decided to weirdly include Iran in all this, you included them due a massacre of 30k people. That's a far cry from your complaints about Cuba. So why are you conflating them as though they were the same place?
They're both autocratic. Iran actually has more democratic features.
