Cuban Missile Crisis Role Play

I ask this assembly to forgive my delay in response. We have been having difficulty digesting the arrogance from the United States government. But then we understand capitalists. However understanding the wolf doesn't make his teeth any less sharp. Mr. Stevenson, do you really wish to review the exploitive history that your government has had with the island of Cuba? From 1902 with the Platt Amendment where your President Roosevelt directly states that Cuba is a possession of the United States government unable to make any treaty or negotiation without the consent of the government of the United States. Through the various US backed dictators including Fulgencio Batista who, with the full backing of the CIA tortured and killed thousands. And yes, even recently with the attempts made on the life of the sovereign leader of The Republic of Cuba, Comrade Castro, by your CIA, and of course the recent invasion attempt in what you Americans call ‘The Bay of Pigs'. I could continue Mr. Stevenson if you like, but I will refrain, because your government's shameful history and recent activity with Cuba is not something that you should be bringing to the floor of this assembly for your own sake. Yes Mr. Stevenson, the Soviet people were grateful, and are grateful, for the lend-lease equipment that your government provided in our struggle against the Hitlerites. However, when the war ended we watched as you came to our country to sink the ships you lent us and destroyed the equipment that we used in defeating our common enemy. We do understand the wolf, but again it makes his teeth no less sharp. Mr. Stevenson, your government objects to our existence and to our communist comrades who fight against the exploitative nature of the imperialist capitalists, who wish to oppress them. We know this. However, we have always followed comrade Lenin's instructions of peaceful coexistence. Our comrades in The Republic of Cuba who have achieved their independence from the colonialists also know this, and prepare for the day when you will again try to subjugate them. Yes Mr. Ambassador we will always assist and encourage those who fight against the abuse of capitalist influences everywhere, even in Cuba, where your government called it ‘The Unforgivable Revolution'. This country that deserves the international respect any other sovereign country is due, you wish to deny. Ah but you don't stop there do you? You then compare these people, whom the United States government historically exploited and oppressed to the benefit of the capitalist, you compare these oppressed people to Hitlerites?! Do I hear you correctly sir?! The peasant that you would have cut the sugarcane for your coffee, you are comparing to a Hitlerite? Mr. Stevenson would have this assembly believe that we are preparing to create a grand Soviet military base in Cuba. Sir, we do not share your avarice for such domination, we merely look to assist our comrades in their struggle against your inevitable invasion of Cuba. He would have this assembly believe that we are aggressively pursuing self interest throughout the world, when we know this is not true. Many in this assembly know that this is not the case when we have assisted those without the means in their struggle against capitalist forces who would exploit and repress. We wish to remove the capitalist boot of oppression that bears down on the neck of all those who struggle beneath it. In this we will not stop. Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. Your concern of a Soviet military base in your hemisphere is ungrounded, but know that our comrades should expect our cooperation. We needn't remind anyone that our military power and missile system from our own country is more than sufficient to accomplish any goal that could be expected from the island of Cuba. The United States needs to recognize The Republic of Cuba, and provide all respect due to this sovereign nation and her leader. It took 13 years before The United States government recognized the Soviet Union's existence and even then your government continued to blockade and isolate us. Let us hope that this self defeating policy does not continue. The Cuban people need assurances that they will not feel the strike of your old "Big Stick" policy. The Cuban leader needs to be accepted as an equal in the international community. The United States government must learn that it cannot enter countries at will for their benefit with no regard to the people and welfare of the individuals that inhabit these places. Repeatedly and consistently we watch you enter these underdeveloped countries with one aim of providing profits for your capitalists. At any cost to those who live there, you will export their resources to line the already well filled pockets of your capitalists. The teeth of the wolf are sharp, and we have felt its bite. We are happy to hear the United States government is open to negotiations, and we the people of the Soviet Union and her representatives are always open to discuss mutual concerns. However, know that we will never abandon our Cuban comrades, or her leader. We will always demand the dignity and respect for our comrades throughout the world.
