Bernie on Nicaragua and Cuba

I kept waiting for Bernie to quote John F. Kennedy,

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
~John F. Kennedy

That it was the unabated abuse of these nation's people by dictatorships propped up by USA that
made these violent revolutions "inevitable" ... and that we need to learn from this history.

Funny (not ha-ha) how Clintons are the inverse of Bernie.

With Clintons the more I know, the less I like them.
With Bernie is just the opposite.

For the Contras and drug running to support it. That was not speculation, but information from a Senate report that the CIA admitted a decade after the fact was correct.
