Green countries officially claim to be democracies. Only six states admit to be undemocratic: Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, Qatar, Brunei, and the Vatican City.

Absolute nonsense. The US didn’t have too much strategic interest in keeping Batista around, and it even considered supporting Fidel during the revolution after an interview he had with an American journalist. Certainly, donations started pouring in from Americans.

Fidel didn’t even announce that the revolution was a socialist one until long after it happened, and it was a pragmatic decision. He believed he could put himself in a better position by playing the Soviets and Chinese off of one another than by becoming simply another client of the US.

Early trade disputes after the revolution put Cuba on a conflict course with the US, but the revolution was not anti-American and the US wasn’t particularly pro-Batista, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I’m also not sure how becoming a client state of the Soviets is ‘resisting imperialism’.
