Знаете, тов. pkn, я в эти дела не лезу, поскольку историю не учил, но здесь явное недоразумение, если ориентироваться на то, что пишут товарищи. Хотели бы просто спасти студентов - выслали бы 2 транспорта. Ну 3. А все остальное - излишества.

Вот трактовка событий из англоязычной Википедии. Тут уже появляются кубинцы и взлетная полоса.
"On October 19, 1983, Bernard Coard and his wife Phyllis, backed by the Grenadian Army, led a coup against the government of Maurice Bishop, who was placed under house arrest. These actions led to street demonstrations in various parts of the island. Bishop had massive support among the population and was eventually freed by a large demonstration in the capital. When they attempted to resume power Bishop was captured and executed by soldiers along with seven others, including cabinet ministers of the government. The Coard regime then put the island under martial law.
After the execution of Bishop, the People's Revolutionary Army formed a military government with General Hudson Austin as chairman. The army declared a four-day total curfew during which it said that anyone leaving their home without approval would be shot on sight.
The overthrow of a moderate government by one which was strongly communist worried U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Of particular concern was the presence of Cuban construction workers and military personnel building a 10,000-foot airstrip on Grenada. Though Bishop had claimed the purpose of the airstrip was to allow commercial jets to land, Reagan believed its purpose was to allow military transport planes loaded with arms from Cuba to be transferred to Central American insurgents.
Also weighing on Reagan was the security of the 800 American medical students enrolled at St. George's School of Medicine in the former British commonwealth. With the post-coup violence and anarchy, martial law, and the shoot-on-sight curfew, Reagan was joined by many of his advisers, as well as much of the American public, in believing that the rescue of the American students was sufficient justification for an invasion.
On October 25, Grenada was invaded by combined forces from the United States, the Regional Security System (RSS) and Jamaica, in an operation codenamed Operation Urgent Fury. The U.S. stated this was done at the behest of Dame Eugenia Charles, of Dominica. While the Governor-General, Sir Paul Scoon, later stated that he had also requested the invasion, it was highly criticized by the governments of the United Kingdom, Trinidad and Tobago and Canada. Queen Elizabeth II also condemned the attack, claiming it to be an attack on her commonwealth realms.[citation needed] The United Nations General Assembly condemned it as "a flagrant violation of international law" by a vote of 108 in favor to 9, with 27 abstentions.
After the invasion of the island nation, the pre-revolutionary Grenadan constitution was resumed. Eighteen members of the PRG and the PRA (army) were arrested after the invasion on charges related to the murder of Maurice Bishop and seven others. The eighteen included the top political leadership of Grenada at the time of the execution as well as the entire military chain of command directly responsible for the operation that led to the executions. Fourteen were sentenced to death, one was found not guilty and three were sentenced to forty-five years in prison. The death sentences were eventually commuted to terms of imprisonment. Those in prison have become known as the Grenada 17".

Тут недавно в одной кукольной стране, на 9 мая много русских и русскоговорящих какие-то уроды, одетые в форму, похватали и заперли на складе, абсолютно не приспособленном для содержания людей. Даже умерли некоторые задержанные. Кто отдал приказ, на каком основаниии, до сих пор не известно. Но как я понимаю, по вашему, международной общественности, в лице пары дивизий ВДВ, необходимо было прийти на помощь несчасным и сместить незаконное правидельство, которое поддерживало меньше половины населения. Прошу не путать - населения, а не всяких там "граждан", "неграждан". Хотя я уже вижу, что опять не прав. Это ж русские, а их и танками можно было раскатать, не то что в сарае запереть, без еды и воды. Вопрос снимаю.
