Fidel Castro is morally superior to every US president.
Based
A very low bar that Fidel soars over without even getting close. Even Gaddafi and Assad are better than every US President lmao
No shot on that.
That's not saying much.
Counterpoint: Fidel is the reason Trudeau exists
Jimmy Carter?
Supplied arms to support genocide in Indonesia, among other crimes. Him building homes now is just some light penance before he's shipped off to hell. https://fair.org/media-beat-column/jimmy-carter-and-human-rights-behind-the-media-myth/
Set up all the groundwork for funding the Mujahideen terrorists in Afghanistan, the funding of the dictatorship and death squads in El Salvadore, setting up the groundwork for the fuckery Reagan did with Iran-Contra.
Carter also jumpstarted neoliberalism rot monetization and the drive to privatize. Willingly laid the foundation for Reagan.
