Cuba is the subject of a US vendetta dating back to 1961, and the Bay of Pigs embarrassment IMHO.

The only reason Cuba is not a thriving (socialist) economy is US sanctions, and that’s a scandal.

The US is also accountable for the sad basket-case that is now Haiti.

For context: in the early nineties I was responsible for business development for a large company targeting the health sector.

All of the people I met were highly-paid former management consultants or accountants running NHS Trusts - not health professionals.

It’s true - and it created localised layers of expensive executive management that didn’t exist in the centralised NHS.

Thuggery is not restricted to left or right wing. Look at the former KGB.

Hitler's Stormtroopers, the SA, were founded in 1921. It was another 19 years before Auschwitz was built.

Evil doesn’t take hold overnight.
