The United States is attempting to trigger a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Canada must act with regional allies to defy the blockade.

    No way western propaganda makes it impossible to support any middle eastern country not already allied with the US.

      Who mentioned the Middle East?

      If you’re going to white knight a country, at least be able to find it on a map.

          Sure, like assuming Islam is a region isn’t racist. At least the people that want to bomb (the fictional city of) Agrabah don’t pretend to care about Muslims.

          FWIW Iranians don’t even love being lumped in with the Arabs. Afghanistan is culturally Persian, and closer to the central Asian steppe homelands and south Asia than to the Middle East.

            Wow, it actually does have a little panhandle squeaking past Tajikistan, I never noticed that. The fact it bordered the Soviet Union is also a big hint it may not be sunny and Mediterranean.

            And, I mean, OP was the only one who brought the category up!

                Wow, it’s amazing a few bombing survivors could completely change a province of 25 million. That makes this genocide okay. /s

                Mind you, Western news tells the story slightly differently

                Also a family member of mine who was there several times.

                Edit: Maybe I’m misunderstanding your point. You were just arguing against a “everyone against the West is good” guy.
