@kurousagi8155 Tell yourself that and good luck trying that theory of yours out, could the us win eventually, yes but it would be pyrrhic at the international level because it would require leveling the entire island and genociding most of the population through extended bombing campaigns that will likely only enrage the entire region making it more difficult to maintain your blockade, 5he cuban people would resist foreign agression with everything they have down to machetes, they have before, ask the Spanish, and enduring such losses in the face of open imperialist aggression and genocide would spark international int er invention from cubas allies, as well as the UN, they're already against the blockade, I dont advise pushing that envelope, At the end of the day, the US gets literally nothing good out of invading Cuba, nor do the Cuban people, you can disagree with the socialist government in Cuba if this is where the whole invade Cuba thing is coming from, but at least the government in power is stable and run by a democratic body with alot of oversight, we've seen what US invasions and interventions have accomplished in Iraq, in Syria, in Lybia, in Sudan, so please, no one wants to see the Cuban version of ISIS, America justsneeds to take a break from invading places,it hasnt been good at it for 70 years and it's only getting worse every time, at some point you have to stop blaming every other country for Americas failures.

@pepperedash4424 "If dozens of nations have all tried and failed to emulate something, than that means its unobtainable" was the excuse of the royal families of the Brithish, Spanish, Portuguese, and Austro-Hungarian empires amongst others against democratic rule for centuries, they used that excuse while spending vast sums of money and millions of lives to control the spread of these liberal progressive ideals just as the western "democracies" have spent trillions of dollars and millions of lives to strangle socialism in its crib since its inception in 1917, If socialism is so unobtainable, why was it never once left to fail of it's own accord? Why has it always required direct western intervention in the form of military occupations, the financing of terrorist groups inside socialist nations, illegal blockades and hostile sanctions, forming Coup d'état's and installing right wing authoritarian regimes that were 10x bloodier and more brutal than the communist they replaced (ask Pinochet, or the Taliban), if communism was unobtainable, and China is set to fail, then none of this would have been necessary for the survival of western capitalism and so its responsible for the most colossal waste of lives and resources es in human history, or, just maybe, your mistaken, and communism has not been achieved because every time it was attempted the west immediately tried to strangle it in the crib before it became a threat to western imperialists hegemony and that true communism can only come to fruition after the complete dismantling of the capitalist system as theorized by Marx and Engels as capitalist will always be able to sow divide amongst the populace so long as they can agitate and exploit the existing class antagonisms. History has provided us both with different lessons based upon different perspectives, and it will be up to history to prove which one of us is correct. Until then, and with respect, we'll have to agree to disagree.

@myms7375 The USSR was founded in February of 1917, during WW1, the Russian people that founded the USSR had fought through the war for 2 and a half years by that point, and it was the USSR that signed the treaty of Brest-Litovsk ending the war with the German and Austro-Hungarian empires, not the Tsar or Imperial family, From Feb. 1917- Mar. 1918 the USSR was at war against the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, just because Russia changed its name and became more progressive and democratic doesnt mean that it wasnt still a belligerent in the conflict, nor does it change the fact that Russia had still just lost millions of lives, suffered multiple crop failures, and had its industry and economy wrecked before the civil war even broke out, which lasted years longer and further devastated an already crippled nation. Your arguement there is like saying that the Weimar Republic was in no way involved or affected by the loss of german lives in WW1 or the sanctions on germany by the Treaty of Versailles.

@myms7375 Ok, so your previous comment about the USSR not fighting in WW1 was incorrect, you know you could have just said that and saved the semantics. The USSR was in the war and would feel the full consequences of the Tsar's blissful ignorance, I feel like your "germany was fighting a losing battle" is trying to mitigate german capabilities in 1917, while the soviets had no choice but to sign the treaty because there was nothing stopping the german army from marching over from finland and up from silesia to take Petrograd which along with the civil war, the western intervention and wars with Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, soviet production and rebuilding was handicapped in manpower, funding, and strategic reserves for the first 15 years of its existence, yet in that 15 years they managed such economic and industrial progress that took the west two centuries to achieve, that's hard to belittle, and doing so is kind of a dick move, just admit you were wrong and have some respect for yourself, it's not the end of the world.

@myms7375 Operation Faustschlag February of 1918, Germany and Austria Hungary invade the USSR with 53 divisions, the battle of passchendaele was by no means the final nail in the coffin for germany at the time and no one on any side would have agreed with that theory, your thinking of the ludendorff offensive of 1918 and the kaiserschlact that broke the back of the german army, and even then they still could have fallen back, reorganized and continued the defence for another year, the final nails in the coffin for the German empire were socialist revolutions in Berlin and Bavaria that scared the politician into making peace unexpectedly. In 1918 the peace came as a shock as Rollins, Currie, Petan, and Pershing were planning for the 1919 spring offensive, but now we have gotten far off topic, your argument there, "the USSR was only involved in WW2" is an outright falsification of historical fact. The USSR was absolutely involved in WW1, as well as 5 other conflicts before WW2 even kicked off, so why lie when said lies can be so easily disproven? Why is this so personal to you?
