for teh downing of a plan in the mid 90's I think any south american country who had a citizen killed by a us strike on an unarmed boat should indict him as well as kegsbreath and any other official they can for murder..

Not saying that it was the right action by Cuba, but the plane was dropping anti Castro leaflets on Cuban soil and had done it a few times before. Was it an offense that called for death, since the people in the plane did not survive the crash? That kind of action in US air space would probably result in US planes arriving to escort the foreign plane out of the country, or maybe forcing it to land.
But Cuba was defending it's air space against foreign attempts to create an insurrection.

We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world, Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Were spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldnt be the priority, he said.
Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.
Reason for all this bullshit?
