Did you know Cuba has a Capitol in Havana that closely resembles its American counterpart? Edel Rodriguez does, and that’s one more reason why he, a Cuban American political cartoonist, was so disturbed by what happened in his adopted homeland on January 6.

      It’s pretty much the same playbook from the USSR/Russia. They backed Castro into overthrowing Batista, who was backed by the U.S., and they want to use Trump to do the same today, on a larger scale. Putin is more than familiar with this old Cold War tactic.

      Even the propaganda - Castro was able to build popular support over time with Cuban citizens. His attempts to overthrow Batista were not popular when he launched the attack on the Moncada Barracks in 1953.

      Russia is using social media and fabricated articles to attempt to build popular support for Trump, hoping he can get popular enough to overthrow the U.S. for good, even though he is an idiot when compared to Fidel Castro and has no idea what he’s involved in on a geopolitical war.
