Cuba

Now that Cuba and America are going to be friends again, do you think
Cuba will remove the black flags they put up for Cuban victims
of American terrorism?

Huge flag poles with 138 black flags, each centered with a white star, block an electronic sign beaming messages from the facade of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Havana February 6, 2006. Cuba hoisted 138 huge black flags, representing the nation's mourning for over 3,400 Cubans killed by U.S. sponsored violence since the 1959 revolution.

3,400 Cubans killed by U.S. sponsored violence - that's more than 9/11.

And if you can't trust numbers coming from a communist dictatorship that jails all journalists who try to tell the truth, who can you trust?

American media?

American media?

Castro is jailing the American media too? If so then I hope that these talks lead to their release.

Kind of hard to do that.

Is this a Bay of Pigs reference?

Good lord, this US offer of friendship is so obviously an attempt at keeping Russian ships and troops out of Cuba that I can't believe no one else mentioned it.

Russia's had their hands in Cuba since it became a communist country. All their military installations are russian.

It's really an interesting juxtaposition of architecture in Cuba.
