| 10. I am asking why are Castro and his government still there? |
|
Why no "color revolution", "indigenous uprising", civil war, or successful CIA destabilization program? You can only use the USSR up to 1989 or so. Fifty years is a long time, almost three generations. North Korea comes to mind, but North Korea is right next door to its good buddy China, while Cuba is right next door to Uncle Sugar, which hates it.
