  • That’s easy, communist dictator overthrew the corporate friendly dictator so the big, rich land owners and industrialist lost their investment. So fled to Dominican Republic, most to Miami.

    Their descendants represent an important Latino vote that grew up hating Castro’s regime. To the point of some of the most extreme took down a Cuban cargo plane without consequences from the US. The US sucks up to them for their votes in exchange for continued anti Castro policies.

    Obama actually started reversing this but guess which orange bozo undid most of it in a single term? Not that Biden did much to try it again.









  • Hunt for Red October. The book is great and for it’s time had done amazing insight into modern naval warfare but the movie irons out a bunch of this which are a bit lame.

    The titular sub is later returned to the USSR.

    The movie changes those and a few other things for a more exciting and satisfying outcome.
