Actually, I think it was when Russia started sending Cuba some of their ICBM's that America got crazy.

Alright... Can we fight a global superpower? Or will we just be carpet bombed to death?

Carpet-bombed. You'll know that you're close to an invasion where the superpower sends in a gunboat.

Alliance with the Soviets also give you FREE MONEY! Do it. We need the money. All you have to do is just make sure to not upset the Communists that much, and keep relations stable with the USSR.

Oh, and Sniper Joe, what is your dictator's profile?

and chaoticjosh: Bay of Pigs occured before the Cuban Missle Crisis.

Another reminder is what happened in Cuba.  Once the Russians started putting up missiles, America went psycho!

Yeah, but Tropico doesn't work that way.

America will invade any time if you piss them off, especially if there's an American military base present (need to defend it).  But if there's a Russian base on the island, they can't do squat (no Kennedy's in this game).

Because your island is so far away, Russia will only ever invade if you already have a Russian military base to protect and then manage to piss them off somehow.

Are you sure? I always thought that if you make the Soviets angry, the Russians will send in their own gunboat to protest.

EDIT: If what you say is true, then it is heavily unbalanced in favor of the Americans.

At least the Commies are easier to please.

No, they have more soldiers than we can possibly ever support. We are just a little Island after all, hell as soon as I see a gunship in the water I'm getting the hell out of this country!

Besides, that would allow me to criminalize capitalism. I could just start throwing them in jail and shooting them on sight. The American pigs would only be able to weep and watch!

Mad Engineer: What happens if a hurricane occurs? What happens if we start losing money on industries? Then that rent will come in handy.

Come to think of it, Sniper Joe, haven't you enabled the Soviet Developmental aid and send in trade delegations to bleed the Soviet Union dry?

i hope you know that half of the weapons of that base are targetting us.

but what has been done cant be undone.

so, lets focus on the island. do you have an university? that should be one of our next goals. university, and industry, and electricity and TV, and so on. maybe even an airport.

if we have money, that is what we must do. i would also suggest developing tourism.

In the interim, I request we set up a fund for the hiring of more soldiers.

Real, shooty soldiers.

So, now do you want to really piss America off?

Build a kick ass tourism industry and rub it in their fat, overfed faces.

That's ridiculous! Obviously this Soviet Union base is here to defend an ally from Capitalistic aggression and to defend a supply route for other socialistic rebellions all over the Centeral America?

Right?

Right?!
