Mid-November in 2026 Havana Is Not Submitting .

But Miami Wants to Celebrate!!

         Today on November 11th in 2026 in Miami and elsewhere in Florida the radio and television news and talk programs are filled with heated discussions about "Cuba to soon take Center Stage on the National Stage." That refers to the expectation that the Trump-Rubio administration in Washington is ready to overthrow revolutionary rule in Cuba, which has existed since January of 1959. Miami since 1959 has led the U. S. efforts to end the Cuban Revolution that in 1959 truly shocked the world by overthrowing the U.S.-backed/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship.

      Before, during, and after the Batista dictatorship in Cuba, The Miami Cuban Mafia has played huge roles in U. S. plans regarding Cuba where American fortunes were made in Batista's rule prior to the Revolutionary victory in 1959. That victory was supposed to last only a few months but it amazingly has lasted for 67 years...and counting!! And that has happened even though the rich, powerful, and very anxious counter-revolutionary Cubans in Miami have seemingly had all the means to regain control of the now devastated but potentionally rich and vibrant Caribbean nation.

    Since 1959, the year the Cuban Revolution overthrew the Batista dictatorship, nearby Miami's Cubans just a few miles from Havana in Miami have dictated U. S. policy to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba's leaders. It has been a determined policy and now in November of 2026 the effort from Miami is stronger than ever and, finally, closer than ever to succeeding. Starting in 1959 the powerful counter-revolutionaries in Miami included the key former Batista minister Rafael Diaz-Balart, Mas Canosa, the Fanjul brothers, IIleana Ros-Lehtinen, etc., etc. Now the latest generation of Miami Cubans trying desperatedly to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba include Mario Diaz-Balart and Maria Salazar, current members of Miami's always strong Cuban contingent in the U. S. Congress. Newly re-elected to their seats in Congress in the first week of November in 2026, Diaz-Balart and Salazar will, of course, continue their fervent efforts in Washington to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, which means making sure that one prime tool, the infamous economic embargo/blockade, is not only continued but severely tightened.

        Replacing Canosa, the Diaz-Balarts, the Fanjul brothers, Ros-Lehtinen, etc., as the most powerful Miami Cuban is Marco Rubio, now 55 and the powerful U. S. Secretary of State as well as the top U. S. Foreign Affairs advisor to President Trump. Extremely intelligent, very capable, and acutely affuent in Spanish and English. Miami-born Rubio will likely be a prime presidential contender in 2028. But in November of 2026 he is at the forefront of making key decisions regarding the U. S. War in Iran, Russia's War in Ukraine, and with...Miami's thrist/hunger for Cuba.

      In 2026 a newly formed group named "Cuban-Americans for Cuba" is fighting forcefully to prevent "No War On Cuba" and trying mightily "To lift the U. S. Blockade Against Cuba."

      But the U. S. media, of course, strongly favors the Miami-based members of the U. S. Congress and stalwarts such as Havana-born Carlos Gimenez, Maria Salazar, and Mario Diaz-Balart who loudly want to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba and, till then, to continue the embargo/blockade.

The EMBARGO has existed since 1962.

Trump-Rubio have greatly tightened it.

/     The photo above was taken the moment Marco Rubio was asked by a journalist, "What are you doing about the embargo on the Cuban people?" As shown above, he began his answer with a question of his own: "Our embargo on Cuba? There is no embargo on Cuba...." 

     Then Rubio explained that the Embargo was "codified in law in 1962" and he suggested it can't be changed but, anyway, the embargo has never hurt the everyday Cuban people...and only the revolutionary regime since 1959 has done that.

       There are, of course, both "classified" and "de-classified" U. S. documents that confirm that starting in 1962 the purpose of the U. S. economic Embargo against Cuba was to...starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cuban people to induce them to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government. Since then generations of Cuban people have been...starved, deprived, and made miserable but they have not overthrown their revolutionary government.

     After the November 3rd-2026 Midterm Elections drastically weakened Marco Rubio's Republican Party, there have been headlines such as the one above to suggest that he might "resign" from his powerful positions of Secretary of State and National Security Advisor so be could get an early start on his campaign to be the next U. S. President in 2028. But regardless of what transpires politically in the United States, the everyday people in Cuba are being treated terribly whether it is the fault of the Cuban goverment or the U. S. government. The video shown below is an update on Cuba:

        The 80-year-old U. S. President Donald Trump appears ready to appease the Little Havana Miami Cubans by supporting murder charges against Cuba's 95-year-old revolutionary icon Raul Castro, tightening the noose around Cuba.

     Yet, in mid-November of 2026, U. S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio surely have their plates overflowing with massive international and domestic issues that don't even relate to Cuba. Yet, somewhere within the confines and crosshairs of all the other conflicts, Little Cuba more than ever remains a Shameful Problem for the superpower United States. And regardless of how the U. S. media and the U. S. govenment portray it, Washington's greed coupled with disrespect for the masses of Cubans in Cuba have not only played significant roles in the failed U.S.-Cuban policies since 1898 and particularly since the 1950s, but the U. S. has probably predicated most of the problems with terrible Cuban decisions made in both Miami and in Washington. One such terrible mistake was convincing the American people that Fulgencio Batista was a nice dictator in Cuba in the 1950s because he allowed U. S. businesses to rake in massive financial rewards on the Mafia-riddled island.

The fact is...Batista was not a "nice" dictator.

It;s just one of the lies to justify the endless embargo.

The huge US Warship arrives in Cuba!!!!!

   November 6th in 2026!!

       As explained by the photos and captions shown above, today on Friday-November 6th in 2026 a huge U. S. warship is now docked in Cuba at the U. S. Military Base in Guantanamo Bay on the southeastern tip of Cuba. This was expected to happen after the November 3rd Midterm U. S. Elections as U. S. President Donald Trump and U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio make final decisions regarding their desires to finally end the Cuban Revolution that has ruled Cuba since January 1, 1959.  The U. S. finally wrested control of Cuba from Spain by winning the 1898 Spanish-American War on Cuban soil. Then in 1903 the U. S. built a massive Military Base at Guantanamo on the sutheastern tip of Cuba, as shown in the map above. The U. S. Navy Base in Cuba is on 45 square miles of plush Cuban land and sea.

    Above are four major Cuban headlines on Friday-November 6th-2026 as the huge U. S. warship docked at Guantanamo Bay. Since 1962 the U. S. has maintained an economic Embargo/Blockade of Cuba and in the past two years of the second 4-year term of the Trump presidency, the Embargo/Blockade has been drastically tightened. And in the past two years Marco Rubio, who was born 55 years ago in Miami to Cuban parents, has been Trump's powerful Secretary of State and Chief Foreign Advisor. All of his adult life, including a long stint in the U. S. Senate in Washington, Rubio has dreamed of ending the Cuban Revolution that overthrew U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista on January 1, 1959.

       In the past two years, Marco Rubio has predicated most of the U. S. policy related to Cuba as he proclaims "never ruling out {descarta} his love {encanta} for the Cuban people in the work {trabajo} that he does for them."

          In this first week of November in 2026 there are headlines that project that "Marco Rubio could leave the Trump adminstration soon to start his all-out bid for the 2028 Republican Party's presidential nomination." By then, perhaps in December, it is presumed that Rubio's prime plans for Cuba will be concluded.

     Meanwhile, these November 6th-2026 headlines suggest that the huge U. S. warship in Guantanamo Bay now might be there to support or dictate whatever happens.

    Two years ago Marco Rubio was confirmed by a unanimous 99-0 vote in the U. S. Senate to be the U. S. Secretary of State, meaning that even the Democratic Party members voted for him. For sure, Marco Rubio is extremely capable and intelligent as well as being a powerful speaker in English or Spanish at a time when the Latina voters are more imporant than ever in elections.

And, for sure, regardless of what happens to Cuba or whatever happens to Marco Rubio's presidential ambitions, the Miami-born Rubio will remain vitally important.

    As the fascinating Cuba-US-conundrum continues to play out in November of 2026 and beyond, I am reminded of the brilliant Cuban diplomat Josefina Vidal.

      Back in 2015 and 2016 Josefina Vidal, displaying deplomatic brilliance and a unfathomable love for Cuba, negotiated tirelessly with U. S. President Barack Obama and his team in a vast effort to normalize relations between Cuba and the United States. Against all odds, Josefina persuaded President Obama to not only to normalize relations with Cuba but also she induced President Obama to visit Cuba to meet the island's leader Raul  Castro and, most importantly, for President Obama to speak directly to the Cuban people themselves.

         On his historic visit to Cuba in March of 2016, U. S. President Barack Obama met with Raul Castro and they sat together at a baseball game in Havana. But, most importantly of all, on that visit to Cuba President Obama spoke directly to the Cuban people on a live, nationwide radio and television hook-up. And, of course, President Obama told the Cuban people: "Cuba Does Not Need To Fear A Threat From the United States." Of course, the Cuban people rejoiced at those words...and believed them, at least for a few weeks before reality set in and their dreams of normalizing relations between the two neighboring nations became only a hope...a distant hope. 

        And so, in November of 2026, a mighty U. S. warship now is docked at Guantanamo Bay on 45 acres of plush Cuban land...and Cubans on the island believe it a threat, the biggest threat since April of 1961 when the air-sea-land Bay of Pigs military attack took place. The Cuban Revolutionary forces survived the Bay of Pigs threat in 1961 but the warship, and what it entails in November of 2026, is simply too unbeatable.

      And, yes, in November of 2026 Josefina Vidal is still a brilliant diplomat for Cuba, and her abiding love for the Cuban people is as firm as ever. Recently, the U. S. PBS News Network interviewed Josefina Vidal to solicit her thoughts on the current dire depths of U.S.-Cuba Relations. Tap the arrow below to see and hear that interview.

"Cuba In Crisis" on 60 Minutes on November 1, 2026

 A Fair UPDATE from Cuba

In November of 2026

      Billed as "America's #1 News Program", the iconic "60 Minutes" hour on the CBS Network on November 1st included a segment entitled "Cuba in Crisis." The sub-title said: "Intense U. S. pressure deepens Cuba's humanitarian and economic crisis." A significant segment from that "Cuba in Crisis" report is shown above from YouTube if you tap on the arrow. It is a fair and important update on the real crisis in Cuba.

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

The UN headlined the US-Cuba War this week.

 

      Today on October 30th in 2026 this week's ongoing US-Cuba War is still sorting out the battle that created a massive confrontation at the United Nations in New York between the USA's Mike Waltz and Cuba's Bruno Rodriguez. That Waltz-Rodriguez battle was a prelude to the yearly October vote in the UN for or against the U. S. economic Embargo/Blockade that began way back in 1962 and under the Trump-Rubio leadership in Washington has been severely tightened in the past two years, helping to creat record shortages of food, medicine, and electric power on the nearby island. As shown above on the "Cuban News Roundup" today on October 30th in 2026, the 2026 vote on the U. S. Embargo continues to make news.

       As shown above by the two graphics, the nations of the world at the UN on October 28th in 2026 voted 130 to end the Embargo against Cuba while 17 nations voted to continue it and 25 nations did not vote at all but, somewhat cowardly, abstained.

      As indicated above, many headlines are still proclaiming that Cuba was the big winner because this October's UN vote showed that the nations of the world again "voted overwhelmingly against the US embargo on Cuba" with "130 nations voting to demand that the U. S. end it." But actually this October's UN vote was a defeat for Cuba because a record 17 nations voted for the embargo on Cuba to continue while 25 nations chose to not even vote on it. Such numbers are wildly unprecedented in the 34 years that the UN has voted on the U. S. embargo against Cuba!!

      As you can see above, often in the 34 years that the UN has voted on the U. S. embargo of Cuba the vote has been almost unanimous to end it...often as shown above with 187 nations voting to end it, two nations {the U. S. and Israel} to continue it, and just one nation {such as the Marshall Islands} abstaining and not voting at all. But drastically in October of 2026 only 130 nations voted to end the embargo while 17 voted to continue it and 25 nation didn't even care enough to vote at all!! So, in my opinion, the October vote this year was not a "win" for Cuba.

       With Cuba this year winning the UN vote with 130 nations voting for Cuba with 17 nations voting for the U. S. and 25 nation not voting at all is not "a resounding victory for Cuba" and certainly not compared to the previous 33 UN votes when Cuba could expect the overwhelming vote of 187 nations voting for Cuba with only two {the U. S. and Isreal} voting for the U. S. with only one such as the Marshall Island abstaining.

      Even more than the final US-Cuba vote in the UN in October of 2026, the passionate and somewhat violent words of Cuba's longtime Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez will linger poignantly in memory this time. Bruno has earned respect from many Americans over the years and this week at the UN his fiery uproar erupted for the whole world to see and hear, not just the U. S. UN aobassador Mike Waltz. Perhaps what Bruno Rodriguez couldn't hold back this time when he loudly and repeatedly called Mike Waltz "a liar" was because the old Cuban official has observed "too many Cuban babies that die because of a blockade maintained by the United States that the US claims does not exist but, in fact, has existed for almost the past seven decades."

       Cuba's veteran Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez has been around long enough to realize that things have changed in the past two years now that Marco Rubio, born in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, is now the ultra-powerful U. S. Secretary of State and the leader of the U. S. foreign policy decisions.

      As headlined above, U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio this week personally expelled a Cuban UN delegate out of the United States....and this week "RUBIO CALLS FOR CUBANS TO PARTNER WITH THE CIA."

       Of course, Revolutionary Cuba has had some long-running wars with the USA's powerful CIA intelligence agency, notably in April of 1961 at the Bay of Pigs when Cuban soldiers captured many CIA-backed Miami Cubans who spearheaded the air-land-sea military attack against Cuba's revolutionary rule.

      In the final 24 hours of October in 2026 Miami's Litttle Havana Cubans still claim the U. S. EMBARGO against Cuba does not exist while Cuba claims it not only has existed since 1962 but now is history's longest "Genocidal BLOCKADE."
