The ones getting their faces eaten by an orange leopard?

Plus, they're not Cubans. They're Americans now. If Ukraine was a socialist state I could see them volunteering on principle but otherwise...

Average Americans don’t care about the sanctions on Cuba. The biggest pro-sanctions constituency is Cuban-Americans living in Florida. That’s why both parties have held the line. No one wants to risk losing Florida in an election.

Russia is a socialist state?

Even if Ukraine was a socialist state (whatever that means), Cubans would still support russia either for money or out of principle. Lets not be delusional.

The article isn't talking about Cuban-Americans.

If Ukraine was a socialist state I could see them volunteering on principle but otherwise..
