Cuba Says It Is "Strong" enough to survive Trump and Rubio

      In these last few days In March of 2025 there remain many predictions that President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State Marco Rubio will soon overthrow Cuba's Revolutionary government that has ruled the island nation since January of 1959 when it overthrew the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatroship. The top image above shows Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel trying to let the world know that Cuba doesn't believe the island deserves the six-decade-old U. S. Embargo nor that it doesn't deserve to be on the USA's very short list of Nations that Sponsor Terrorism. Out-spoken revolutionary Cubans such as Yohana Tablada and Gerardo Hernandez Nordela are shown strongly agreeing with their President. Among the two YouTube videos shown below are some of the non-Cuban comments circling around the world about Cuba:
         And meanwhile...while top news agencies in the U. S. and around the world report that "Cuba is IMPLODING," and is far too weak to resist the designs of U. S. President Trump and Secretary Rubiio to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, the state-run Cuban media ubiquitously shouts about how "fuerza" {"strong"} the island is:
"STRONG CUBA"
      Above is a discussion aired on the Cuban media in which President Miguel Diaz-Canel, Johana Tablada, and Gerardo Hernandez Nordela talk about how Revolutionary Cuba can improve relatiions with the United States so the island can better deal with massive domestic problems that include food and medical shortages as well as constant nationwide power blackouts caused by poorly maintained energy plants. 
      At the end of March-2025 this was Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel using Cuba's radio and television media to tell the Cuban people that "the revolution is working tirelessly to improve every hardship the people are facing each and every day." Meanwhile...the U. S. media led by the Miami Herald is upset that the Trump administration is trying to shut down Miami's Radio-TV Marti operation that, for over three decades, had raked in hundreds of millions in tax-dollars to tout Little Havava Cubans in Miami while broadcastting continuous Courter Revolutionary programs.
    In an effort to cut out vast "fraud and waste" in the federal government President Donald Trump has appointed Kari Lake to hopefully curtain the fraud and waste involved in projects such as Radio-TV Marti in Miami and even the World War Two-famed Voice of America network.
 
     The purpose of Radio-TV Marti has been to use millions of tax dollars to enrich Little Havana Cubans in Miami as well as to encourage Cubans in Cuba to rise up and overthrew their rvolutionary government. Of course, Cuba blocked the broadcasts and even if by chance it was heard in Cuba it was not effective. So, of course, the prime purpose of Radio-TV Marti is to enrich selected Cubans iin Miami.
      For the past three decades all of the best U. S. journalists -- such as Tracey Eaton and Jeffrey Kofman -- are experts reporting about Cuba and have repeatedly reported about Radio-TV Marti as a financial scam to enrich Cubans in Miami.
     Above is just one example of the great Tracey Eaton explaining that the purpose of Radio-TV Marti is to provide millions of tax dollars to selected Cubans in Miami.
    And above is just one example of the great Jeffrey Kofman reporting on ABC News that the purpose of Radio-TV Marti was/is to provide millions of tax dollars to selected Cubans in Miami. Jeffrey Kofman's most famous report about the scam that is Radio-TV Marti was entitled "Newscasts to Nowhere" but, of course, they have been making Cubans in Miami very rich for over three decades!!
   Of course, as March comes to an end in 2025 the Trump presidency is including Radio-TV Marti in Miami as one of tax-provided U. S. agencies that should be shut down because of waste and fraud. But, of course, ultra-powerful Miami Cubans such Carlos Gimenez powerfully object. Carlos Gimenez was born 71 years ago in Havana-Cuba in 1954 in the heyday of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship that was fleecing and brutalizing Cuba as top U. S. companies partook in the spoils. But after the triump of the Cuban Revolution on January 1st in 1959, Cubans flocked to Miami and found power and riches...thanks to eager help from the U. S. government, the Catholic Church, etc. Typically, Gimenez got top educational opportunities, including Harvard, and became the powerful Mayor of Miami-Dade County from 2011 till 2020 and since 2023 has represented Miami powerfully in the U. S. Congress.
     And meanwhile...at the end of March in 2025 the top Cuban Headlines included The Economist telling the world "How Cuba competes with Uncle Sam in the Caribbean island." Of course, the competition is a David vs. Goliath affair.
      And, meanwhile, as Cuba braces for the month of April in 2025, the Caribbean's largest island remains uniquely embroiled in trying to survive the stifling U. S. EMBARGO that has existed since 1962. But, who knows?...maybe something in April in 2025 could happen that helps. Yes, who knows.

Not All Americans HATE Cuba!!!!!!

And some Americans are brave enough to say so!! 

     Today -- on March 19th in 2025 -- famed Hollywood actor-director-producer Kevin Costner had a very friendly discussion with Cuba's president Miguel Diaz-Canel.
     Today -- on March 19th in 2025 -- famed U. S. Healthcare expert Renee L.. Quarterman wrote a lavish and very long salute to Cuba's efforts to provide free and excellent healthcare for all of its ten million citizens. The article, shown above, is being published internationally. It is entitled: "Healthcare in Cuba: How a tiny island defies U. S. Sanctions to lead in healthcare." Her sub-headline said: "Despite decades of U. S. sanctions, Cuba remains a leader in medical innovation and international health solidarity."
      Of course...the "U. S. sanctions" that Renee L. Quarterman is talking about today include the six-decade-old U. S. EMBARGO that began in 1962 and has devastated the island's economy. Of course, the U. S. goverment and the U. S. media claim that the EMBARGO has nothing to do with depleting the Cuban economy. Of course, famed U. S. healthcare expert Renee L. Quarterman expressed her belief that Cuba since 1962 has done what no other nation its size could have done, which is...to survive such a EMBARGO tightly imposed by a neighboring nation that happens to be the world's economic and military SUPERPOWER.

All Caribbean Naions Support Cuba...

.....and oppose USA's Cuban policies!!!

     In March of 2025 the best Caribbean map still shows that Cuba is the region's largest nation and arguably its most beautiful nation and also the island nation that is the closest neighbor to the superpower United States. Of course, Cuba also remains the only nation and island in the entire region that is not allowed to make unrestricted trade and tourism economic growth that everyone else wildly enjoys. That is because Cuba since 1962 has been saddled with an economic U. S. Embargo.
       Meanwhile, for decades the EMBARGO as well as other U. S. laws such as the Helms-Burton ACT have been designed to starve Cuban leaders into submission but mostly have starved, deprived, and made miserable everyday Cuban families. For decades the yearly votes in the United Nations -- usually with a vote of 188-to-2 -- have revealed to the whole world that almost EVERY nation in the world very loudly opposes the U. S. policies against Cuba, especially the EMBARGO and the Helms-Burton Act. And now today -- in late March in 2025 -- the Associated Press, the top U. S. News Agency, continues to blare headlines about "Caribbean Leaders oppose US policy targeting Cuban medical missions...", etc.
      The last sentence in the long Associated Press article in late March in 2025, as shown above, says: "Meanwhile, Trinidad Prime Minister Keith Rowley told reporters Monday that he wouldn't mind losing his U. S. visa either." {Meaning he would give up his own U. S. visa if it would help the "targeted Cuban families."}.
        And, YET, regardless of what all the leaders in the Caribbean say and what almost every worldwide leader says, there is no chance that U. S. policies such as the endless EMBARGO and Helms-Burton Act will ever ease or end...certainly not as long as Cuba fails to submit to its northern superpower neighbor.
In other words...Uncle Sam wants Little Cuba to submit.

Cuba-US Relations in the Age of Trump

In March of 2025!! 

      Today is March 13th in 2023 and above are the Top Cuban Headlines flashing around the United States and the world. Since January 20th in 2025 the new Trump administration has been mostly obsessed with domestic and international problems but the Superpower USA's decades-long attempts to end the Cuban Revolution is taking a backseat to things like fierce wars elsewhere in the world...but there is no doubt that the USA's big problem with little Cuba will not be forever forgotten. As usual, today the most pertinent Cuban Headline is by the London-based Reuters News Agency: "Defiant Caribbean leaders dismiss trafficking accusations as US targets...{Cuba}." As usual, this important headline today -- on March 13th in 2025 -- indicates that the US remains alone with its fiercely and endlessly "targeting of Cuba."
     As shown above, today's London-based Reuters article points out correctly that the rest of the Caribbean as well as the rest of the world simply disagrees with the USA's war-like policies regarding Revolutionary Cuba "since Cuba's 1959 revolution" overthrew the lucrative but not-so-nice USA/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship.
     The USA in 1898 very easily won the Spanish-American War fought in Cuba, making the United States the latest imperative power to covet and then dominate Cuba. Then that war later in the 1950s spawned the Cuban Revolution.
     In mid-March of 2025 the neighboring flags of Cuba and the United States are still waving in the ever-shifting Caribbean winds. But, as usual, the David vs. Goliath battles of little Cuba trying to come to grips with its northern superpower neighbor continues. It actually began in 1492, which was the year explorer Christopher Columbus discovered both territories, quickly writing in his diary that the island that became Cuba "is the most beautiful land that these eyes have ever seen." Spain then began fighting with or against other imperative powers to maintain control of Cuba. By 1898 the United States felt it was powerful enough to launch the Spanish-American War on nearby Cuban soil and easily ended Spanish control of Cuba. But the U. S. influence by 1953 had spawned Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution that in 1959 shocked the world by overthrowing the Batista dictatorship that was considered invincible when it was supported by the superpower United States and by the powerful Mafia.
     But, as shown above, long before the thievery and brutality of the Batista rule in the 1950s, the United States, almost even as it became a nation in 1776, had longed to control Cuba. If you deny that historical fact, study the quotations shown above. The most important U. S. Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, by 1817 was loudly proclaiming "If we seize Cuba, we will be masters of the Caribbean." By 1823 Mr. Jefferson was still proclaiming "I candidly profess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could be made to our system of States." That was from the famed writer of the U. S. Declaration of Independence from England who then became the third President of the United States. Besides Thomas Jefferson other key politicians and newspapers routinely and loudly bellowed over the need of the United States to control Cuba...finally fueling the Spanish-American War in 1898.
      And yet, pugnacious little Cuba somehow has protected its Cuban Revolution since 1959, which was the year that powerful remnants of the ousted Batista dictatorship began to create Little Havana in nearby Miami Florida. And quickly while becoming very rich and politically powerful, the Cuban-Americans in Little Havana -- led by Cuban-born anti-Castro zealots such Rafael Diaz-Balart, Jorge Mas Canosa, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, etc. -- have always been at the forefront of the mammoth U. S. efforts to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba.
In other words............................
     ........but even with Cuba in Miami since 1959, Cuba in Cuba in mid-March in 2025 is still playing David to the United States Goliath. By no means is David winning, but at least it is still standing after being continually counted out daily since 1959.
       But, Yes, a third generation of Cuban mothers in Cuba are now barely able to survive the ageless decades of revolutionary leaders trying to oppose six decades+ of...Little Havana Miami Florida dictating U. S. Cuban policies.
      It has been argued that Cuba is the only little country that could have survived six-decades of a massive EMBARGO imposed by a much larger and much richer Superpower neighbor. But both history and topicality reveal that the U. S. EMBARGO of CUBA has existed continually since 1962 and has also been routinely expanded, including by the new Trump administration in 2025. So Trump is merely the latest U. S. President to try to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba since 1959. Below in mid-March in 2025 the Spanish El Pais News Agency explains why Cuba is more vulnerable than ever in its defense of the 1959 Cuban Revolution.
    Of course, as shown below, U. S. headlines and articles daily promote "South Florida's" viewpoints regarding the complicated US-Cuba conundrum.
   With Miami-superstar Marco Rubio now the top official in the Trump administration as the U. S. Secretary of State, some observers are merely counting down the days till MiamiFlorida topples the Cuban Revolution's rule in Cuba.
      But the two Vladimi Molina photos shown above were taken this week in mid-March in 2025 and they actually show some Cuban women on the island still strongly supporting the Cuban Revolution. So...STAY TUNED. It ain't over till it's over.
