Castro's Funeral Jeep Breaks Down Mid-Parade

[NightTrain]

How fitting is this? The crusty old commie's funeral jeep broke down as it pulled his remains during his final tour.

The escorting soldiers were forced to push the procession along :

Nice that he's saving a few bucks on gas for this. Raul will be pleased with the additional revenue freed up for extra gestapo personnel.

FAKE!!! And must be a photoshopped picture as well. And nevermind the fact that it comes from Fox news and the Wall Street Journal as well as Reuters - ALL FAKE!! Why in the world would you use a story from Breitbart? It's obviously a lie, and likely written by a white supremacist! :laugh:

Serious though, I read this earlier and cracked up. Ain't no way I would have pushed that dictator bastard. Shoulda just left him where he was at and eventually the vultures would have found him.

I'm wondering how many hundreds of military mechanics responsible for maintenance just got sent to the gulag yesterday?

I'm sure that's real after owning a 53 Willy's and having often do the same, minus the ashes, of course.

Even though it looks like a legit Jeep, they say that's a Russian knockoff.

The old Willy's were uncomfortable, but man could they 4-by! Real mountain goats.

Not more than 2.
1st - an officer in charge, the chief of the garage,
2nd - mechanic who prepared the vehicle not in a proper way.
And the punishment will not be severe. Maximum they'll loose their job.

This is Soviet made all-terrain UAZ-469 vehicle. Have a look at it.

I'm betting none. This is their "normal". Opt for this is you want reliable transportation in Cuba.

I was making a joke, Balu.

But I'm pretty sure that Raul isn't very happy about the international community seeing Fidel's funeral jeep breaking down and having to be pushed! I don't know how hardcore Raul is but he is a commie dictator after all, and they generally don't have very good track records with regard to punishment fitting the crime.

If Cuba had a Siberia, I think we know where those guilty mechanics would be!

I didn't get where you joked? http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/dntknw.gif
The key word is 'crime'. Are you sure that there was a crime but not an ordinary negligence?
Though I would investigate if this were done by American agents of CIA who are very experienced in dirty tricks, especially the mechanism is very easy - put 4-5 pieces of sugar into a gas tank and in some time the the engine is killed.

You'd be happy to single out the CIA for 'special' consideration, Balu ?

Here's what I think. Castro nearly killed off (along with Krushchev, of course) every human being on this planet !! Quite apart from any other crimes and inhumanities he may have been answerable for (or not !) ... do you seriously believe that the wished-for total genocide of humanity earns NO form of payback ???!??

If the CIA - or ANYBODY - had deliberately managed that little embarrassment ... and God knows, he earned so much worse !!!! ... then those responsible deserve medals and the highest commendations.

[aboutime]

I wonder if Balu knows, how the press never shows any CUBAN car dealerships in their photo's, or video's, and why? The NEW CARS they might see, are all Leftover 1950's chevy's, fords, ramblers, buicks, and pontiacs...not to mention the Russian jeeps.:clap: FIDEL'S Capitalism at it's finest???

Perhaps one vehicle out of twenty on the streets of Havana are late model Mercedes Benz's. The old cars are on the road because Castro decided to allow them to be handed down. Modern vehicles are only allow to be purchased for the highly priveleged with the government.

I should have known, or expected, that YOU would come here to defend Fidel in some way. As for what you THOUGHT you were telling the rest of us UNINFORMED, and UNFORTUNATE DEPLORABLES you patronize so well about the special people in Cuba.
You lose again. Nobody really cares what you have to say anymore. And I am speaking for myself on that one.

Cubans have no their own car manufacturing and associated to it industries. To buy foreign made cars they have to have the sources from foreign trade income. But there their opportunities are very much restricted. So, everything is natural for those who live at their own earnings without intention to get into debt bondage.
This is strange that such simple things are so difficult for understanding. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/dntknw.gif

How much easier would Cuban lives be, I wonder, if only they weren't forever subject to Communist oppression ? When they get rid of the Castros, maybe their fate will change for the better.
