Kelly does it again!
>>80965219
There's a not-commie Castro?
>>80965253
Wasn't one of the guys in Florida running for nomination called Castro?
if you have family, it's worth going even once to the actual non-tourist areas
That one looks like a regular conservative political cartoon to me.
Isn't Fidel like a vegetable now though?
>>80965403
Nah, he's still quite lucid.
>>80965219
That's a ligitimate point
>>80965403
I thought he was dead.
>>80965219
Is there any place you can read all of these that isn't as terrible to navigate as the onion?
>>80965350
and getting stabbed? sure
>>80965287
Two Julian and Joquian Castro are the sons of a single mother who was a community manager.
One was in the Obama administration and is basically being groomed by some in the Democratic Party for future presidency.
>>80965638
nah you are thinking of mandela
>>80965661
Talking from experience or just parroting FoxNews?
>>80965695
Not him.
I went there to make anthropologic work. The shadow of Cuba is ugly and hidden with the use of fear and propaganda.
There is a reason for why the best work on the island are related to turism and for doctors becoming taxists there.
>>80965661
It's Cuba, not Jamaica.
>>80965796
wow i can't believe a 3rd world country who's neighbour has been constantly fucking it over for 60 years isn't always the nicest place on earth
>>80965796
>The shadow of Cuba is ugly and hidden with the use of fear and propaganda.
Are there any countries without an ugly shadow hidden with fear and propaganda?
>>80965887
I don't get it, exactly what excuse does the USA have for still enforcing embargo's on Cuba
cold war is over folks, there's way more evil nations you actually do trade with
>>80965801
cuba, jamaica, el salvador, nicaragua, costa rica, panama, venezuela, are some of the most dangerous places for tourists. also pretty much everybody hates gringos so is a good idea to disguise yourself as canadian or something else
>>80965936
North Korea, its pretty up-front about its fear and propaganda
>>80965936
U S OF FUCKING A of course!
>>80965796
>doctors becoming taxists
>in the country with the best doctors ever
FoxNews it is then.
>>80965992
*the best health system ever
Words say the child prostitution is rampant there
>>80966055
>Words
From FoxNews or Trump?
>>80965887
Isn't Cuba 2nd world?
>>80966070
From cubans living in other places.
>>80966151
Those are worse than Fox and Trump
>>80966175
Natch. They know that if Cuba and USA become friends, their lobbying business is over.
>>80966117
2nd world stopped existing after the evil empire imploded. Now there's only developed and undeveloped countries.
>>80966117
That sense isn't used that often anymore, but maybe technically.
>>80966117
I mean, do people even still use that term anymore?
>>80965796
Dude, having the best work be tourism related isn't uncommon in poorer countries, especially island ones. It has nothing to do with crime rates or political climates. If you can convince someone a thousand times richer than you are to come to your country and overpay for booze and "authentic cuisine," you do it.
>>80965678
The Castro brothers are mexican american though
>One was in the Obama administration and is basically being groomed by some in the Democratic Party for future presidency.
Mostly on the assumption that mexicans vote for mexicans, especially mexicans as brown as that guy. Also on the assumption that there wouldn't be a civil war by the time mexicans were that numerous.
>>80966175
Yeah, those are the people who actually lived there and wanted to get the fuck out so fast that any other option is actually good.
>>80965940
>what excuse does the USA have for still enforcing embargo's on Cuba
Cuban immigrants, primarily the first wave, want to see everything about Castro crumble to dust.
>>80965992
>every retard is a doctor
>"LOL MEDICAL CARE IS SO CHEAP THERE"
Michael moore is even less reputable than fox news you enormous faggot
>>80965992
You never went to Cuba right? The job that everyone wants there, is on the hotels.
Being a tax driver gives you more stable life than being a medic, also allow you to trade things with the tourists.
>>80965936
Cuba is kind of another level mate. If you go to an area "not allowed for the tourists" by the governament you will start having serious troubles
That place is a semi-dictatorship with a cult for the Castro familly.
>>80966251
They're still a communist dictatorship
>>80966274
>>80966309
>>80966315
>trust me, I'm an expert
How are things going in Bumfuck, Iowa?
>>80965967
What about key largo? Montego?
>>80966300
And the other big voter block in Florida is old white people who retired from New York City and don't want any more brown people. It's win/win for any Florida politician to back continuing the embargo even if there's no real reason nowadays
>>80965887
>USA refuses to trade with Cuba
>OH MAN THIS IS WHY CUBA IS SHIT AND NOT THE FACT THAT THEY'RE COMMUNIST
>>80966300
man those are selfish assholes
letting every single inhabitant of their former country suffer under economic penalties just because they don't like who's ruling a country they no longer live in
>>80966328
Sure, but the way it was categorised was US aligned as 1st world, Soviet aligned as 2nd world, and non-aligned as 3rd-world. There is no Soviet Union to be aligned with anymore, which was why the term changed.
>>80966350
when the largest economy and military in the world decides to use its full leverage to impose all possible forms of economic embargo on your country, that has a massive effect
the fact they somehow managed to NOT become a Haiti tier shithole is a fairly impressive feat
>>80966336
If you're trolling it makes sense not to make it too obvious by replying to all baited posters at once.
>>80966363
This. Real freedom fighters stay in the country and face the regime, they don't flee to USA and attack the regime from a US citizen-paid armchair.
>>80966341
>key largo
>Montego
do you even know what a country is?
>>80966420
They didn't stop being communist
>>80966336
You know that you tagged more than one person right?
Also why are you so defensive? I am starting to believe that you only accept governament propaganda from the Castros as evidence for their social issues.
Also, I'm a brazillian, not an amerifat.
>>80965219
The Onion has gotten a lot less funny ever since they took a hard turn to the left
If you shuts knew fuck all about Cuba you might actually see how legitimizing the Castros is disgusting
>>80966363
How are they selfish in any way?
Do you even understand how communism works? Cuba is shit because the people remaining there are shit. The ones who could actually produce are the ones who left after having their wealth taken by the mouthbreathers who though communism would make them rich.
All the cuba defectors that i know have told me that there, in Cuba, the worst of all places are the ones full of black people.
>>80966350
>Make Cuba a puppet after the Spanish-American war
>Keep it as a mobster tourist resort with a friendly dictator
>Try to invade when Cubans try to overthrow their overlords
>Constantly try to assassinate Castro
>Keep them under embargo and undermine them for decades
lol fucking commies should just get over it freedom aint free
>>80965936
>all things are equal
It's amazing the kind of mental gymnastics the left will resort to while Obama does shit like help the Castros maintain their grip on power
>>80966425
No it isn't at all. You clearly don't know how the fuck communism is supposed to work at all. A communist society is not effected by an embargo by a capitalist society because communists do not trade with capitalists in the first place. The USSR only ever bartered goods with other socialist states, communist nations do not buy and sell goods. Cuba is shit because it is a shitty little island that thought it could be mostly self-sufficient under a communist system even though its economy was based on plantation agriculture.
>tfw canadians won't have a vacation spot away from americans anymore
sucks dick desu
>>80966487
and then they want economic sanctions taken against a country they no longer live in just out of spite making the lives worse of everyone who wasn't blessed with enough pre-existing wealth to successfully emigrate to the states
and continue to do so for the sons and the grandsons of the people they had a so called grudge against
literally the definition of petty selfish assholes
>>80966457
All republicunts look the same to me.
>I'm a brazillian
That honest, clean, civilized, crime-free country? Oh boy.
>>80966540
Because decades of sanctions didn't do shit to stop Castro or Cuba. And we have far more unsettling bedfellows with Saudi Arabia.
>>80966479
The funniest part about the whole Cuba issue now is the fact that the Democratic leadership keeps trying to claim that it's a "hispanic issue" as though colombian and mexican americans gave a single fuck about cuba.
>>80966543
Except Cuba did trade with capitalist nations and wanted to continue trading with capitalist nations
here's a hint NOT EVERY COMMUNIST COUNTRY PRACTICES STALINISM YOU GOD DAMN IDIOT
>>80966532
>USA gives up and decides to befriend Cuba
>americunts get buttblasted
>it's a Cuba/Trump/Politics thread
Why the fuck is no one posting Kellys
>>80966583
You are right.
We should also stop sanctions against North Korea!
Cuba is a shitty dictatorship without free spech and full of polotical prisioners.
>>80966583
Economic sanctions which did nothing because communist societies do not participate in an open market using currency like capitalist societies do you fucking retard.
>blessed with wealth
Please kill yourself.
>>80966611
Cuba is Stalinist
>>80966587
Your bait won't work on me mate.
>>80966611
So you're saying 1960s USSR was stalinist? Because you clearly know fuckall about what you're talking about.
Cuba was shit before 1991, it remained shit after 1991. Being unable to trade with the USA was irrelevant because the vast majority of nations have not participated in the USA's embargo. Cuba will remain shit in the future now that the embargo is over and you will remain an idiot.
>>80966643
There's no joke in this strip. He's trying to make fun of a legit point
>>80966659
90% of all millionaires had millionaire parents
but keep believing in an american dream
>>80965219
right. cause why would we want to open relations with a close neighbor, bring money into both of our economies and, over time, deteriorate their shitty government through positive diplomatic relations (and probably CIA meddling). I do enjoy Kelly's cartooning style, though.
>>80966716
1 the embargo is not over
2 why the heck did the USA embargo cuba if it didn't matter
>>80966479
They got bought out by Univision believe it or not
How /co/-related was this thread again?
>>80966754
Neo-conservatism could probably work in cuba. they're close and desperate enough. Plus they aren't raghead fucks so that would make things easier.
>>80966774
>complete depravity
Si
>>80966736
90% of the cubans who fled to America weren't millionaires, they were middle class people.
The reason why millionaires have millionaire parents is because wealth builds over the generations hence why working hard and providing your kids a good future ensures they are generally as wealthy or wealthier than you.
What you're advocating is that middle class people who work hard, own a restaurant or business and invest in their kids' future should get fucked over because Juanito the retarded sugarcane picker is bootyblasted his parents were stupid and decides everyone who worked hard and had hardworking parents should get fucked over so he is mildly better off.

perhaps juanito deserves it
but not juanito's kids
nor their kids
which is what's happening
juanito is long since dead and buried and still everyone tangentially related to them has to suffer for no logical reason
>>80966837
I guess people have the idea that these comics make fun of political cartoons and aren't politically biased. Any other political cartoon thread gets deleted
>>80966774
>So you advocate going into complete depravity and just cynically supporting every single regime willing to play ball then?
The sanctions didn't do anything because only the United States ever bothered. It was literally the equivalent of pissing angrily into the wind. It removed a direct trading partner for zero effect except to decrease the overall GDP of the country which, guess what, went almost exclusively on the people of the country instead of those in charge.
It didn't force a regime change which is literally why it was done in the first place. Its antiquated and a relic of the cold war. If anything thawing the ties allows dissidents to escape the country easier. Yes, there are political prisoners still there but for fuck's sake it wasn't doing anything before.
Saudi Arabia on the other hand has several times been the bank rollers of terrorism for decades now including Osama Bin Laden. This on top of their systematic theocratic rule that oppresses women and freedom of speech. They just have a lot more money.
Your slippery slope argument is literal shit.
>>80966794
In theory sanctions should cause a loss for the rich people in the targeted society so that they will eventually negotiate to end the sanctions and thus end the harm to their pocketbooks. By engaging in trade with Cuba we simply enrich the elite, who now have more money to expand their reach over the island and prevent revolution. It also means the elite will now be in power for perpetuity unless they do something like Muammar Gaddhafi and try to institute the "Latin American Union" with a gold-backed currency like Gaddhafi tried to do with the African Union.
All of Gaddhafi's stockpiled gold has gone missing since the war in Libya began.
>>80966921
>joke
uh-huh
>>80967040
>It removed a direct trading partner for zero effect except to decrease the overall GDP of the country which, guess what, went almost exclusively on the people of the country instead of those in charge.
As a socialist state the cubans receive their goods from the state anyway so no, they never suffered from not having trade because they are not allowed to participate in the market on an individual level anyway.
>Your slippery slope argument is literal shit.
Or it's the argument that we should dump the Saudis completely as at least one presidential candidate has alluded to, rather than expand our friends list of dictators.
>>80966961
Juanito should have invested in his kids. Now with a socialist state in power his grandkids are getting fucked over because Juanito couldn't think beyond a single generation.
The result of opening up trade with Cuba doesn't change anything for them. The only thing this does is reset USA relations to 1950 when they were America's beach resort on the Caribbean.
On the flip side the USA and Europe are going under largely because the older generation is wealthy but only thinks in terms of what is happening while they are alive and hold the attitude that what happens after they are dead is irrelevant.
>>80967138
>Or it's the argument that we should dump the Saudis completely as at least one presidential candidate has alluded to, rather than expand our friends list of dictators.
There are no "good guys" as far as allies go in the middle east. But you need someone to work with so you have some semblance of presence in the region.
Its more an argument to stop giving a single shit about the Middle East at all since that is a region of the world that has been basically tribes fighting tribes since biblical times. The only reason we haven't packed up and shipped out already is because of fucking Israel.
>>80966654
A bunch of American allies are exactly like that
>>80967238
>There are no "good guys" as far as allies go in the middle east.
I can think of one but good forbid anyone should give da jooz any credit for running the one and only progressive liberal democracy in the entire Godforsaken region.
>>80967102
b8? Is that you?
>>80967313
Fuck them too.
Why you think I would defend them?
Two wrongs makes a right?
This Kelly thread is in dire need of Kelly comics
>catchpa: 911
its a sign
>>80967655
No, I"m just saying You should embargo the Saudi's. I mean fucking Iran is the lesser evil of the two. IRAN
keep this /pol/ shit out of /co/.
Now let's see some more Kelly comics.
