Italy has joined the "poor countries needing charity health work from Cuba". Who's the failed economic system now?
I'm also always impressed by how positive Cuban health workers abroad can be given the circumstances. Not only is their country being denied properiry by foreign powers, but in every country they go they are victims of demonisation campaigns by the bourgeois press, and they still manage to come out not hating the entire country they're sent to.
This reminds me of when Ukraine needed vaccines from India (roughly a decade ago)
WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
Dumb question, but did Ukraine do something towards India after that? I haven't heard about this.
I'm gonna try, I assume I'm wrong and someone can hopefully correct me...
India has a friendlier or neutral stance towards Russia due to its history with the Soviet Union. Something about a ship nearby some decades ago during the cold war scaring off some antagonistic ships?
I think India is also part of the non-aligned movement? The recent thing was a UN vote where India abstained? Something about recognizing something about the conflict... I think after that there was a statement by Ukraine or the Ukrainian President saying something like uh, wow I can't believe you didn't like super support us.
no I was talking about the NATO deployments and subsequent invasion
