Cuba Negotiates With Rubio!!

 But...Rubio holds the cards.

    Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel indeed is negotiating with U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's team. In this first week of June of 2026 he is, for example, promising to allow ordinary Cubans to "invest in and help administer 15 of Cuba's 34 hotels that the government controls." The two Spanish hotel giants, Melia and Iberostar, have had over forty 4-star and 5-star hotels on the island but tourism, massively sanctioned/embargoed by the United States, has for decades restricted visitors -- much unlike like it was in the 1950s, prior to the 1959 Cuban Revolution, when the United States and its prime companies wildly promoted tourism to Cuba during the Batista dictatorship. Now faced with a military attack/regime change on his island by the United States, President Diaz-Canel even promises the U. S. that, like in the days of Batista long ago, U. S. intersts will now be allowed to invest in Cuba's hotels and other businesses that the U. S now says are only run by the Cuba's military leaders.

     Of course, since 1959 Cuban-Americans in Miami/Little Havana -- such as current U. S Congressional members Jimenez, Salazar, and Diaz-Balart shown above -- have dictated the extreme hardline U. S. Cuban policies since 1959.

      If there is a military option that creates the regime change in Cuban, the above generals -- Roberto Legra and Francis L. Donovan -- will be prime competitors. General Legra leads Cuba's defense forces while General Donovan heads the U. S. Southern Command forces. In fact, a few days ago these two men met face-to-face just outside the U. S. Military Base that has, to Cuba's chagrin, been based on Cuba's Guantanamo Bay since 1903. It is assumed that Donovan warned Legra that Cuban resistence would be useless. After all, the U. S. has massive superpower military assets at nearby military bases at Guantanamo in, all over Florida, Puerto Rico, and even in and beneath the Caribbean Sea where the U. S. has a huge aircraft carrier atop the water and lethal submarines lurking under the water.

      Prime Cuban expert and author Helen Yaffe -- a notable Professor at the University of Glaskow in the UK, and many others have increased their support for Cubans on the island in 2026. But they are over-powered by later generations of Miami Cubans reared by Cubans who flocked to Miami following the victorious anti-Batista Cuban Revolution in 1959. Now that Miami's Marco Rubio is the ultra-powerful U. S. Secretary of State, Revolutionary Cuba is surely doomed...with the only question when, not if. The when apparently arrives after Rubio and the U. S. exit some of its Iran War priorities in the faraway Middle East.

      As U. S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio -- who was born in Miami 55 years ago to Cuban-American parents who fled Revolutionary Cuba c -- incessantly repeats that the U. S. economic EMBARGO/Blockade of Cuba, which started way back in 1962, has had no affect on the fact that Cubans in Cuba are facing food shortages, medical shortages, constant deprivations, island-wide energy blackouts, etc. Rubio, as shown above, loudly claims that all of Cuba's devastating economic problems are because of its corrupt and incompetent Revolutionary leaders. 

     Secretary of State Marco Rubio also repeatedly states that Cuba "poses a national security threat to the United States." Not many people around the world believe that but Rubio says that the American people do or will believe it. That belief, of course, supposedly justifies the impending regime change in Cuba.

     Cuba is blessed with some of the world's best tourist attractions, such as Varadero Beach that is just a few miles south of Key West, Florida. But since 1962 in Revolutionary Cuba the U. S. EMBARGO/Blockade has drastically restricted foreign visitors to Cuba, including to incomparable attractions such as Varadero.

     But GUESS what? Back in the 1950s during the brutal Batista dictatorship ads like the one above wildly saturated the United States promoting tourism to Varadero and other top Cuban attractions. That was when Batista, the Mafia, and major U. S. companies and businessmen were making fortunes because of vast tourism that flocked to Cuba!! It is presumed that, with Miami Cubans again in control of Cuba, tourism and other business will return to Cuba, and it is hoped ordinary Cubans on the island will also benefit.

     The last living icon from Cuba's 1959 victory in the Cuban Revolution, Raul Castro, celebrated his 95th BIRTHDAY on June 3rd, 2026. {His brother Fidel died in Havana in 2016 at age 90}. But also during this first week of June in 2026 the U. S. overshadowed that major Raul Castro birthday in Cuba by indicting Raul Castro for four deaths of Miami Cuban-Americans that took place during a controversial Miami-Havana confrontation in the  Caribbean Sea thirty years ago,

     Now Marco Rubio, Miami's ultra-powerful hero, is busy explaining why Raul Castro must finally face "justice" in a Miami {or some other U. S.} courtroom. Also, as shown above, Rubio is being asked: "How do you intend to get Raul Castro to U. S. after the historic indictmen." Many journalists consider that a good question for Marco Rubio.

      Meanwhile, today on June 6th in 2026 the London-based Reuters News Agency reports that Raul Castro headlined an event in Havana today.

Now 95 years old, Raul Castro!!

Raul & President Miguel June 6, 2026.

Raul Castro CELEBRATES his 95th birthday!!

 "Feliz Cumpleanos" means "Happy Birthday" 

         Today is June 3rd in 2026. It is a special day in Cuba. It is Raul Castro's 95th Birthday. He's seems healthy. And he doesn't seem to be too worried that he was recently indicted for murder by the nearby superpower, the United States.

     Cuba's great photographer Vladimi Molina today posted this photo of Raul Castro on his Facebook page. On his caption shown above Molina pointed out that most of Cuba's ten million citizens "love him and wish him a happy 95th birthday." 

On his 95th birthday today: Raul Castro.

*&*************************&*

June 2026 Starts With Fear for Cuba.

       For sure, Vice President Anna Maria Mari Machado is one of Cuba's most powerful and most respected leaders. She is telling the Cuban people at the start of this month of June in 2026 to expect a dire threat of a United States military attack.

       And, for sure, Cuba's longtime Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez speaks internationally for Cuba and for its revolutionary icon Raul Castro in June of 2026. And he says that Cubans will "defend their homeland" if and when the United States attacks.

      And, moreover, Bruno Rodriguez says that, if the U. S. attacks Cuba, there will be "a bloodbath that will involve both Cubans as well as young U. S. citizens."

Miami's Marco Rubio has the power to...take Cuba.

But....................

    This week on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026 -- which will be Raul Castro's 95th birthday -- there will be events in Cuba such as the above seminar in Havana that will loudly denounce any U. S. attack on Cuba and it will be broadcast on the Internet.

"YO ESTOY CON CUBA"

"We're WITH CUBA"

Is This Raul Castro's "Last Hour."

Maybe, Maybe Not!! 

      Many headlines are now saying that this is now Raul Castro's "Last Hour" and that he may not even be around to celebrate his 95th birthday on June 3rd, 2026.

      But today in Havana Cuba's great photographer Molina took this photo of President Miguel Diaz-Canel and Raul Castro as they tried to show the Cuban people that "revolutionaries sometimes die fighting but they always fight." 

     Molina tonight also posted these two photos to show that the little Cuban army is ready to fight "and ready to die if necessary to make sure that Raul Castro makes its to his 95th birthday and that he never sees the inside of a U. S. prison or a Miami courtroom."

     Today Miami-born Marco Rubio, the powerful U. S. Secretary of State, was asked the above very pertinent question: "How do you intend to get Raul Castro to the U. S." after he has been indicted and charged by the U. S. with four murders that occurred in the Caribbean Sea thirty years ago, in 1996. Rubio said he wasn't about to let the media know how that will happen but he said he "doubted" the elederly Raul Castro would turn himself in to face trail in a U. S. courtroom.

      But Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel today told the Cuban people that the "lies from Miami since 1959 have been consistent and always unquestioned in the United States. Whatever really happened in the waters near Havana in February of 1996 shamed Miami and the U. S., not Cuba nor Raul. We will answer questions to that but not in a biased Miami court. But, as the unbiased know, we have U. S. State Department written records that reveal what took place before and after the airplane shootdowns." 

     For sure, the HISTORY and GEOGRAPHY between the United States and its Caribbean neighbor Cuba will collide before or shortly after Raul Castro's 95th birthday that is set to be celebrated in Havana in a few days, on June 3rd. Of course, Marco Rubio and the ultra-powerful and extremely influential Cuban-Americans in Miami plan to end decades of cherished dreams by at least finally making the last of the Castro Brothers pay dearly for their resounding Cuban Revolution that overthrew the brutal, U.S.-backed, and Mafia-riddled Batista dictatorship way back on January 1st in 1959. Even as the U. S. is also mired with trying to end two massive other Wars in faraway Ukraine and Iran, overthrowing the nearby and very pugnacious Cuban Revolution has never been forgotten, expecially in Miami!!

Will Miami-born Rubio Treat Raul Castro Fairly??

      Today on May 21st in 2026 it was 85 degrees and windy in Miami when the city's superstar Marco Rubio, the USA's powerful Secretary of State, stopped for an interview in which he told Miami's TV-10 News these words: "The likelihood of a Cuba-US deal is not high."

      So, to the delight of of his fellow Cuban-Americans who have ruled Little Havana in Miami since 1959, plans appear on pace for Raul Castro, who turns 95 years old on June 3rd, to be captured and put on trial in Miami. He will be charged in the deaths of four "Brothers to the Rescue" flyers who were in two small Miami planes that Cuba shot down thirty years ago, in 1996. Miami, the U. S. government, and the U. S. media have always maintained that the two planes, and one other that turned around and returned safely to Miami, were merely rescuing Cubans in the sea as they tried to reach Florida. Cuba has always maintained the Miami planes, led by a famed counter-revolutionary in Miami, were on their way to harass or harm Cubans as they had done previously with low-level flights that dropped leaflets/debris that scared Havana citizens. Moreover, Cuba said it had begged the U. S. State Department to stop the flights or Cuba itself would be forced to do something about it. Trials in Florida have resulted in many millions of dollars being awarded to Miami Cubans and the shootdowns have also resulted in the famed Helms-Burton Act and other laws that have for decades enriched Miami Cubans while devastating Cubans in Cuba.

      Born 85 years ago in Santiago de Cuba, Jose Basulto is known as a CIA-trained Cuban with a drastic reputation as a fierce counter-revolutionary/anti-Castro militant...even before the Cuban Revolution defeated Dictator Batista on January 1st in 1959. Once he settled in Miami Basulto founded Brothers to the Rescue, which before and after the famed shootdowns in 1996 was well-funded with the "rescue planes" that flew in the Caribbean Sea between Miami and Havana. A beloved hero in Miami, Basulto's views are generally never questioned in Miami or in the U. S., including by the U. S. media. But some historians, and at least one persistent journalist, do insist that there indeed are two sides to the Brothers to the Rescue saga.

      The tireless Liz Oliva Hernandez has spent many years in the U. S. and especially in Cuba researching and reporting daily and producing five "The War On Cuba" documentaries that are featured on YouTube and elsewhere. Liz wonders if Miami's U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be fair to Raul Castro if the elderly revolutionary icon ever appears in a Miami courtroom. Below are Liz's beliefs:

      In other words, the diligent journalist Liz Oliva Hernandez -- as you can see above -- and others like her -- believe that Miami courtrooms should allow Cuba to sue known Miami counter-revolutionaries such as the infamous Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch who "lived freely in Miami until their deaths."

So Yes???????

Would Raul Castro receive fairness in Rubio's Miami?
