President Donald Trump said Friday during remarks in Florida that the United States would take over Cuba “almost immediately,” suggesting an aircraft carrier could be positioned offshore after the conflict in Iran.

    Tankie right here. USSR did the same as US did. At least EU didn’t invade any third-world country recently.

        Khrushchev and Brezhnev USSR (these were the ones that invaded the most) versus Eisenhower, Kennedy and LBJ (then the comparison gets bad with Nixon)

              Only Afghanistan was an invasion and I oppose it, soviets did wrong there. Hungary and Czechoslovakia wont be called invasion because it was to suppress a west backed coup, and death toll was nothing much. Vietnam certainly no, on the contrary they helped vietcong fight the french, american invaders and win the civil war
