Not sure about the Congo, other than it was more of a UN failure (and
Belgium bailing on very short notice) that caused Lumumba to ASK the
USSR for help.
I'm pretty sure that embargoing Cuba had something to do with them
approaching Russia.
Nicaragua might have gone differently if the USA had not backed the
Contras. (and when did diplomatic ties automatically mean conquest
anyway?)
North Vietnam also had strong diplomatic ties to Russia, but this
would only be construed as a Soviet conquest by the very paranoid.
I'm don't know where you get your information from, but I'm sure glad
I don't smoke the same drugs as you.

Bill, you think that the US was so threatened by a Canadian air plane
that we engineered it's demise when simple economics will explain the
outcome.
You seem to think that the US is responsible for the sorry state of
Canada's defense establishment, when you should really be blaming your
own idiot politicians.
The United States hasn't seen Canada as a threat serious or otherwise
since shortly after the war of 1812.
You shouldn't be accusing others of smoking mind altering substances.
You parrot the talking points of the American left as if you were from
Berkley, but the truth of the ties of Castro, the Sandinista's the
Peoples Republic of Congo, to the Soviet Union were released by the
Russians when they opened the KGB files after the fall of the Soviet
Union. Now those sources have dried up. Putin is probably sees no
value to undermining his own position by airing that particular basket
of dirty laundry. But the documents that were released are still out
there. Go find them.
