Thaw in US - Cuba relations

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah, my friend just sent me a (bulk) FB event invite to celebrate the release of the Cuban 5 heroes in front of the US consulate.

Strong work, guys.

Wait a minute: is your friend celebrating the release of five Cuban spies, or five Cubans held as political prisoner in Cuba?

It is, the righteous, lefty stance that the Cuban 5 are not spies.

[Admiral Yi]

Fantastic.

The spies. She's pretty hardcore into revolutionary socialist anti-war stuff. Like... she basically fits the caricature. Very earnest. Would not fit in at languish.

[Jacob]

Fantastic.

I thought you'd appreciate it, and the fact that they think their occasional movie screenings in funky coffee houses and 20-person protests in front of the US consulate had anything to do with the release.

Jake won't admit it, but he's going to this event.  I just know it.

The hell she wouldn't.

Do you remember how she responded to Cuba jailing those guys who were getting signatures on a petition?

[Razgovory]

Took a look at Breitbart's site to get the idea of what real conservatives thought.  Apparently we just "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory".

She is primarily concerned with evil Western imperialism, like intervention in Libya and Syria. Not sure how she feels about Ukraine.

I have not, for the record, discussed any of this with her - I'm basing this on her various FB posts and event invites. Were we to run into one another I'd be happy - she's a sweet girl - but I would avoid discussing politics. I'd probably talk about food or something, and find out what's up with her sister.

The people at that demo would look at my politics the same way I look at yours.

Most cult members are.

I've known a bunch of revolutionary socialist types who were right assholes, so I don't know if I can agree with that.

[Admiral Yi]

I defer to your greater experience in these matters.

I wish they were all mostly sweet natured good looking girls. Then I'd probably still be a revolutionary socialist.

EDIT: edited to remove the implication that I'd be a sweet natured good looking girl. It's clear that I'd never be sweet natured.
