Like in Venezuela, great, you got Maduro out.
He was awful, but you put Maduro's lackey as the number two.
And literally zero has changed for the actual Venezuelan people.
Same thing with Iran, right?
Like you're going to put in someone who may be just as bad, if not worse than the Ayatollah that may actually talk to the United States government.
Great.
You're talking to them and you're giving them oil or access to whatever.
But the people are still being hurt.
And same thing in Cuba.
You may have someone who's willing to communicate with the U.S.
government and do what Trump demands because otherwise we'll bomb the hell out of them, which is what he's doing in Iran.
but does it actually help the Cuban people?
And the answer is probably not.
You can't just, just because, and this is something else that like really frustrates me.
You can get rid of a person.
You can't get rid of an ideology.
Just because you get rid of the Ayatollah or you get rid of the Castro regime doesn't mean you get rid of communism or you get rid of some of the religious extremism that we've seen in Iran.
You don't just get rid of that.
And a lot of the people there also, there are plenty of people in Iran who supported what the Ayatollah did.
There are plenty of people in Cuba who support the Castros.
