Fidel Castro-Ruz actually begged The Murcans for assistance...just saying.

History doesn't always lie!

@Brerzerk

I am not aware of where you are getting your history from, but it's all crap...Post the links to what you posted... As you do on my threads, now run...Show where Castro begged...?

While Fidel Castro did seek American support and economic cooperation shortly after the 1959 revolution, he famously insisted he would not "beg" for help

In April 1959, just months after taking power, Castro visited the United States on an unofficial "good will" tour. Though his government was in desperate need of economic stabilization, his approach was complex:

The "No Begging" Stance: In a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, Castro explicitly stated he would not beg for economic assistance.

Although his economic team (including the president of the National Bank of Cuba) was prepared to discuss financial aid, Castro reportedly "torpedoed" negotiations. 

He never made a formal loan request during the trip, likely to maintain a public image of Cuban independence and national pride.

The relationship deteriorated quickly after the visit. When Castro began implementing land reforms that nationalized American-owned businesses, the U.S. responded by slashing Cuban sugar quotas.

In later years, Castro remained defiant, famously writing in 2016 that Cuba did "not need any gifts from the empire"

THE DOLLARS CASTRO ONCE WANTED-BUT NEVER ASKED FOR

Dr. Spock forgets that the Eisenhower Administration had made several friendly gestures toward the Cuban revolutionary regime. It had recognized its provisional President, Manuel Urrutia, within 48 hours of his appointment. It had replaced its allegedly pro-Batista ambassador, Earle T. Smith, with one friendly to the revolution, Philip W. Bonsal. It certainly did not believe that Castro was a Communist or would lead Cuba into Communism.

In the light of this background, Washington had no political or ideological motive for turning down a Castro loan request. Castro just refused to make one. I leave it to Dr. Spock to decide whether he was ''pushed'' into Soviet arms or fell into them voluntarily. DANIEL JAMES Washington, April 25, 1983
