US secretly built 'Cuban Twitter' to stir unrest

I&#x27;m still trying to understand why the US keeps kicking a tiny island country. One story I&#x27;ve heard is that a lot of rich Cubans lost their property when Castro took over, and they spend a ton of money on politicians in the hope that the US will make sure they get their property back at some point.<p>If that&#x27;s true, why would the US gov risk this exact article? Why not tell the rich Cubans to build a fake social network themselves?<p>I guess I&#x27;m still looking to understand why this relationship is the way it is.

Then people of US don&#x27;t understand why people from other countries dislike the US and consider it meddlesome.<p>Also, people of US should own up their mistakes, I am very bothered by the average US person that keeps voting to the current top two parties and then complains when people from other countries are upset at them because of the US wars and intelligence interventions, if you voted to re-elect Obama, you cannot complain when people from Brazil, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Germany, etc... get upset with you.

Although it&#x27;s frightening I have to admire the smartness of such an idea. Giving the people such kind of technology to influence them politically. I&#x27;m as impressed as I was when they attacked the Iran nuclear plants with a virus from an USB stick.
