We are constantly told that Vladimir Putin, is a psychopath, is like Hitler as was Saddam Hussein apparently. Now Putin is an ex KGB man so we know he's no friend of the worker. Neither was Saddam Hussein. But that never stopped the US government from selling him weapons, supporting him against internal opposition and so on.
Neither of these two despotic characters come close to the US regime, when it comes to sheer brutality on a world scale. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Vietnam North Korea, Grenada, Panama, coups, assassinations of individuals, from Chile to The Congo, are US capitalism's legacy and that's just in the post World War Two era.
By the definition of psychopath we get from the US mass media today, every US president certainly since the war would be one. The brutal and inhumane treatment of Cuba, whether we agree with the politics of its government or not, should be condemned and stopped.
If you have watched this and in your lifetime have never openly condemned the US government for its policies toward this small island nation, never spoken out, raised it in a discussion with friends over dinner or attended an event as a protest of this policy of your government. You still can and should so so. It's never too late to make your voice heard.
