[from a post on IG]

          That’s what decades of US influencing, propaganda and meddling does.

    Kudos to the few South and Central American and Caribbean countries that didn’t bend their knee or look the other way.

    Why are Germany, Italy and some other European country neutral on this? Like i get the US is able to influence Ukraine or South American countries but why is Europe enabling the US?

    Cuba should become our biggest trading partner – especially if they just turn around and sell it onward at a small profit.
