They're a Leninist. Hypocrisy is their super power. The only thing that maters to them is that he attacked the party/dictator. Which is the only unforgivable sin. Every problem with their governments is always somehow the West's fault. And they are infallible. Zero nuance or irony.

Yes the US has a history of meddling in south America and blockading Cuba. And yes that's wrong. But blaming that for all their problems is ridiculous. The Cuban government imprisoning those sharing western media that makes it through the blockade etc. Isn't because of the blockade. It's because the government is authoritarian. And if those they control get narratives outside the governments approved ones. It makes them harder to control. It's why Western media narratives are suddenly starting to much closer mimic those of leninist and other dictatorial governments.
