of Putin in our world.

Castro did some real good, some not so good, and some really terrible. There are many justifiable feelings on all sides of his passing, and there is room for them all.

sovereign states - but then Western powers and indeed Russian powers believe they have the right to decide who is elected in many countries. Same knife stick sheep, stick goat!!
I also have serious problems with the assassinations perpetrated by Western powers on leaders on our countries.
