The Belarusians!!! They are prodigious in their... they help Cuba, despite the aggressive policies against that country... and that doesn't mean they're just friends of the government... they also see a population that has suffered years of poverty and many needs. That's having a humanitarian mindset; not like the US, which believes only in attacking its neighbors...
