Wasn’t Trujillo housing Batista and supporting his return to power?

GBU_28 ,

I was told by Lemmy comrades that Cuba has never done any wrong!

nyar ,

The only thing wrong in this case was they failed.

GBU_28 ,

Invading neighbors isn’t cool, no matter who does it

SomethingBurger ,

There is a case for it, if it is to stop a genocide. But obviously not there.

GBU_28 ,

Sure. I won’t move the goalposts too much here, and will accept that I was overly specific,… but I legitimately would describe that as separate from an invasion, and instead call that peacekeeping or something else.

Invasion to me seems like imperialist action to further political or territorial goals.

Ferrous ,

And they were right to try. Trujillo was a monster.

Edit: and also the invasion catalyzed the assassination of Trujillo

CanadaPlus ,

Yeah, that’s a nasty military failure, but the Cuban communists were not the bad guys in that period, relative to the other powers in Latin America. I don’t actually know anything about Trujillo, but I bet I can make good guesses about what kind of leader he was.

meeeeetch ,

He was said to have the best fed sharks in the Caribbean. Political dissidents had a tendency to disappear during his reign.
