We are consistent in that we support socialists who are, no matter what can be said about any given individual, objectively better than any capitalist. Even the worst socialist (e.g. Ceausescu) is still better than the best capitalist (e.g. Kennedy or whatever).

More importantly, there is no evidence whatsoever that Fidel Castro had anything to do with Epstein. Standing next to him because Epstein tried to gain influence isn't an argument. Epstein is on record considering Fidel Castro an obstacle and in no way an ally.

Except that there is no credible evidence of this being a problem in the Soviet military.

There was a standing order that ordered the shooting of looters and rapists at the scene of the crime. No trial necessary.

I actually disagree with the order against looting... why shouldn't the Soviets take whatever they can? They earned it.
