Omitted how CIA and their media apparatus were involved in Castro's "revolution"… Half of your parliament were kissing fidel's ring… I'm sure they were getting rewarded well – in children. No – not their children – children stolen from South America and transported through the Carribeans – a crucial smuggling route controlled by CIA and individuums like Epstein or Richard Branson…
U.S is the face of imperialism in the modern world. Either way, the amount of sway they hold on the world cannot be justified. It's purely meant to project power not save anyone.
This is an invasion, not an ownership. And it is not 'America', it is the USA, which is pretty different.
Alot of democrats and a few past presidents shall call it home before long
After Venezuela and Mexico, Trump will take over Cuba.
We don't own it. It's leased. Ultimate title remains (as silly as that sounds), with the Government of Cuba. 😮
Until all societies in the world recognize the individual natural rights of all human beings, this odd relationship between the US and the world must continue.
America does not have multiple bases overseas. They may operate at overseas bases but those bases belong to the host country. Except Iraq and Afghanistan. Almost every country has a Status of Forces Agreement with USA except North Korea, Russia, China and every other bad actor nations.
When the US got Cuba from Spain, we should have kept Cuba as a State. Instead we gave Cuba its independence which was then over thrown by a Dictator: Castro. But the US kept Gitmo. Bay of Pigs was a HALF ASS attempt to throw out Castro. Problem was Congress. Just like what happened in Vietnam. Now Cuba is stuck in limbo with its Citizens paying the price. Politics always causes the problems, the people always pay the price.
America first.
Cuba would have made a hell of a vacation spot. Shame it went to waste. I can not believe the people just accept the conditions forced upon them.
The US has been a leader in the anti-land mine push in the world, but has insisted there be two carve-outs to that; the DMZ in Korea and the Cactus Curtain in Cuba.
Not really that controversial with an agreement signed for the land?
Liberate Cuba 🇨🇺
I checked out nebula and they are asking US $6 a month. Being from Canada it would be close to $8. Not $3 as you suggest. Please know this is a terrific history of Guantanamo. Thank you.
Cuba’s statehood? Gold/Silver controversy? Politics in Washington DC?
It seems like Gitmo's bad hombre camps have now become like Spandau Prison in Berlin, waiting for their Rudolph Hess (the last Nazi jailed there on a life sentence) to expire so they can tear it down? Most of those 15 are not getting off the island alive.
Wonderful, well researched documentary. I learned a lot about Gitmo, good and bad.
0:40 NOT A SINGLE IN BRAZIL, HELL YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What did it look like iin 1979 and 1980?
COIN
So biased, forgot to mention how this protects US citizens.
Arch nemesis…. Not any more.
Who could make war with the beast?
Looks like a stranglehold on the world … in the name of freedom, we are the Trojan horse for global tyranny.
That's because we are the most bad ass country on earth 💪🏾
Seem to omit the facts that Batista was a ruthless Dictator; When Castro took the government and expelled all illicit activities run by American Mafia including, gambling, prostitution and work camps. Also ignored that USA had attempted to assonate Castro multiple times, thusly inviting the soviets and their pollical agenda.
I was there, involved in many classified cases I can't talk about, but some of the information in this video is inaccurate. So I take the entire video with a huge grain of salt.
Heard of this place from the movie Harold and Kumar for the first time.
Just to say,they don't tell you, Castro was educated he in the US, was helped into power 😂
Boo hoo, stay home leave us alone!
I remember that time as I was in eighth grade at the time, the tension and not knowing what was coming next. Those were the days of living on the brink of nuclear war, civil defense drills in schools and putting a home stock of supplies "just in case".
Award winning documentary , learned a lot Thank you
You left out that the Americans saved those Haitians lives, housed and fed them at no cost to them.
…and they attacked us….what did you expect??
People without US citizenship aren't entitled a citizens rights.
That was a bloody good documentary!
The US empire will be over soon ❤
USA still has that "don't care attitude" towards others especially Russia
.. you forgot the Philippines 🇺🇸🗽🇵🇭
And the destruction of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor had absolutely nothing to do with it.
10 mil isn't enough to build a court house bulshit they bought tents and pocketed that money
There complaints are legitimate about the FREE FOOD they are getting from US tavpayers?? Then go back home, or somewhere else.
Love it when we were down there. Great water for diving.
The only McDonalds I ever went to in the past that served CHICKEN WINGS 😂😂😂
USA are the garantee of freedon in the world. The nazifascism-comuno-socialist genocide regime of Cuba must be destroyed and the people of Cuba made free.
No non american has constitutional rights period
A military tribunal.
Is what they deserve.They're not Americans. They have no constitutional rights whatsoever, and the fact that any human being could look at these monsters and want to give them constitutional rights is absolutely absurd. And anybody that would defend one of these monsters should be treated as such.
Like a monster
So wait a democratic president put actual refugees in a real prison and turned them of to their country that they where fleeing knowing they would be punished and tortured but Trump is bad
