I'm half cuban and i think its great that he finally went....
But ofc its a bit sad but the People in Cuba are very happy.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I cried myself to sleep that night.
This had to have been an inside job; none of the websites I go to talk about what he ate or anything before he died... Conspiracy? There's no real explination on why he died so it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out.

Maybe he just died of old age? He was 90 after all.
Rest in peace Fidel Castro.
He was a controversial figure: from one side, he was an anti-american dictator, from another he developed his country, improving welfare standards. Cuba, in fact, is the 40th state by human development index.
but i hope that, with his death, Cuba would start its democratic process, even if i think that a free market conversion process would have to be slow.
I think that Trump was wrong in rejoicing, as the Cold War ended in 1989, and the US has re-accepted (even if wrongly) Russia into the western world, why not do so with Cuba.
Those are my 2 cents on the issue.

Liberals say "He's a good guy, he trained doctors to be the best in the world!"
He sent those doctors to boiling cooking pots like Venezuela to spread Communism.
He's one of the dirtiest men on this Earth, or at least he was.
Anybody who imprisons millions, and murders hundreds of thousands, and calls for the death of America, has no respect for any self-respecting American, and/or individual.

1) not proven any point whatsoever
2) "Doctors to spread Communism"? and so, what should the poor Venezuelan people do? die of sickness because their doctors are communist?
You are saying that just because an 11.27 million population nation has communist leaders, and is a poor nation (10$ monthly salary, no nukes, shitty army, 2m from the US) is a threat that should be eliminated?
