"Free" elections in Cuba would just mean immediate US vassalage. Influencing elections in the Caribbean and Latin America is a practically a US hobby.
Right? It's easy to bloviate about "free, ~~democratic~~ fair elections" when you're the world's superpower. When you live NEXT to the world's superpower, there's no such thing.
We said free and fair which is not the same as free and democratic.
Okay, I fixed it. Now what?
Canada and Mexico both live next to the USA and both have freer and more fair elections than the USA so Im not sure your claim even makes sense on the surface.
According to another poster Cuba has non-Marxist candidates who can run. IF Cubans have the ability to completely cast aside the government, regardless of ideology, then they have free elections. If they cannot then they don’t have free elections.
Have you been paying attention at all?
Trump is literally actively "joking" about annexing Canada this week, and they've been exporting MAGA brain rot to Canada for years.
Trump also threatened to unilaterally invade/bomb Mexico to attack cartels.
How is that not directly interfering with "free and fair elections"
