Trudeau calls Castro legendary revolutionary who improved education & healthcare

I am feeling ill right now. Very ill.

How do leaders of other countries glorify an authoritarian Dictator who kept his own people on the brink of poverty all their lives and oppressed and massacred his own blood? This is beyond savagery.

And yet American presidents hold hands with Saudi leaders who hold the reigns over an objectively violent dictatorship and not a word of condemnation can be heard... funny, that.

There is a bit of a difference, don't you think? Where are the mass graves and people desperately seeking to escape?

What a lot of people don't realize is how close Trudeau's family was to Castro. Castro was a pallbearer at Justin Trudeau's father's funeral. Castro held Justin's baby brother in his arms.

Moreover your wouldn't have to look very hard to find recent quotes of American presidents praising some rather nasty regimes.

I honestly don't understand why so many leaders look up to such an evil leader.

A spectacular self-beclowning.
