    America's Thug in Chief John Bolton on Nov. 1-2018 in Miami declared war on Cuba and, based on past history, the American people will allow renowned and well-documented thugs like Bolton to carry out that declaration. A shameful product of the Bush dynasty, Bolton branded Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua as a "Troika of Tyranny." He was borrowing his former boss George W. Bush's "Axis of Evil" label for North Korea, Iran and Iraq. Bolton tossing in Venezuela and Nicaragua in his "Troika" was one of many current and forthcoming ways of misleading the American people; Bolton's long-sought war against Cuba merely includes Venezuela and Nicaragua as smoke-screens on the periphery of his Cuban war, with Venezuela and Nicaragua merely targeted as collateral damage because recapturing Cuba for the Batistianos-Mafiosi and other greedy right-wingers is what Bolton's "Troika" is all about. Bolton's war declaration featured this sentence: "We will no longer appease dictators and despots near our shores in the hemisphere." Of course, extreme right-wing thugs in Washington love "friendly" dictators. U. S. history reveals that they have been allowed to get away with such things as the murderous coup in Chile to overthrow and kill wildly popular and democratically elected President Salvador Allende to install, for 17 extremely bloody years, one of history's most murderous {but U. S. friendly} dictators, General Pinochet who, like Batista in Cuba, allowed rich Americans to also rape and rob Chile. And, of course, supporting the murderous Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba {1952-1959} rendered the offshoot on November 1 of 2018 of a thug like John Bolton speaking on behalf of President Donald Trump and Miami's Counter Revolutionary Cubans to declare war on Cuba. And like the killed-Allende/killer-Pinochet thugs who were supported by the thuggish Nixon-Kissinger duo, Bolton is supported by the thuggish Trump-Pompeo duo. When thugs are allowed to use the incomparable economic and military influence of the United States, America and its democracy are the big losers, at least in the eyes of decent people around the world.

      President Trump's and America's Thug in Chief at the United Nations, Nikki Haley, cruelly defended the indefensible -- the U. S. Embargo against Cuba. At the UN Nov. 1-2018 the world condemned the embargo 191-to-2 with only Israel, which depends on massive economic and military support from the U. S., supporting the U. S. cruelty. In the last year of the decent Obama administration and with Obama's concurrence, the UN vote was 191-to-0. Haley defended the Trump-Israel "2 votes" with this asinine comment: "Our reason for the embargo is and always has been Cuba's denial of freedom and the denial of the most basic human rights for the Cuban people." That, of course, is a blatant lie...and the rest of the non-bought-off world knows it, and so do the Cuban people on the island.

     On November 1st-2018 at the UN, Nikki Haley's right-wing/Rubio-directed audacity included a stupid reference to the 27 years the UN has voted on the Cuban embargo, with those votes listed above. She ignorantly and arrogantly mentioned that the only unanimous condemnation of the U. S. came during the Obama presidency but she then exacerbated her arrogance by referencing that all the nations that supported Cuba in the last 27 years were/are stupid and wrong while all the right-wing thugs in Republican administrations who oppose Cuba were/are smart and right. Of course, when every nation in the world supports Cuba, or when every nation in the world not bought-off or scared-off by awesome U. S. power supports Cuba, Nikki Haley's brash and insane words at the UN probably need all the U. S. nuclear missiles to back them up, otherwise even she wouldn't have the audacity to utter them.

     U. S. democracy-lovers brave enough to study the graphic above should weep for their nation. It shows the 193 nations that vote at the United Nations. 191 of those nations, including all of America's dearest friends, got green marks for condemning the world's longest and cruelest embargo ever imposed by a strong nation against a weak nation. Just two nations, as you can see above, got red for supporting the embargo on Nov. 1-2018. Those two, of course, were the United States and bought-and-paid-for Israel, and it is truly amazing that the richest and strongest nation in the history of the world could buy-off or scare-off just one little nation to support its Cuban embargo. Of course, the U. S. also has a UN veto that enables the United States, when its policies are controlled by thugs, to mock the wishes of the rest of the world. 191 greens and two reds make a statement for the world to ponder, a world that remembers in 2016, the last year of the decent Obama presidency, ALL the votes were green with NO reds.

      This is the world's view of the U. S. embargo against Cuba...and it is the correct view. After the Bay of Pigs military attack and other acts of assassination and terrorism failed to overthrow the Cuban Revolution, the U. S. imposed the embargo against Cuba in 1962. According to de-classified U. S. documents, the purpose of the embargo WAS/IS: TO STARVE, DEPRIVE AND MAKE MISERABLE THE LIVES OF CUBANS TO INDUCE THEM TO RISE UP AND OVERTHROW THEIR GOVERNMENT. A great weakness of the U. S. democracy is the fact that the mainstream U. S. media does not have the guts to ask a thug like Nikki Haley proper questions about the embargo.

     Cubans on the island deserve better than American thugs like Bolton and Haley -- AND SO DOES THE U. S. DEMOCRACY!!

      The purpose of the U. S. embargo against Cuba, which Cubans call a blockade, is genocide, pure and simple. If Russia, for example, had such a policy against a much weaker nation, sanctimonious Americans would condemn Russia to the High Heavens, the way the entire world...except for bought-off Israel...condemned the U. S. at the UN again today. Cubans on the island, not thugs like Bolton and Haley, need to have input on such things as the Embargo and Bolton's Delared War.

    In the hands of thugs, US-Cuba Relations since the 1950s have done more to shame America and Democracy than any other involvement or topic that has embroiled or concerned the United States. That sheer fact, I believe, was seared deeply into the American fabric in 2016, the last year the U. S. had a decent President, when the world-wide vote against the embargo was 191-to-0, the only issue in the world that could attain such unanimity, I believe. U. S. citizens and a mainstream U. S. media that don't hold thugs accountable empower those thugs to act in America's name and in Democracy's name. Today the thuggish Bolton and Haley took full advantage of those weaknesses that continually demean two precious things -- America and Democracy.

   The puppeteer for Bolton and Haley in today's two disgraces in Miami and at the UN is the gutless hypocrite Rubio. The fact that the mainstream U. S. media has neither the guts nor the integrity to admit that glaring fact, or even discuss it, is far more of a problem for the USA and Democracy than it is for the island nation of Cuba. And an America and a Democracy that can't correct that problem deserves Rubio, but Cubans on the island don't. Cubans on the island fought a rather famous Revolution to get rid of thugs like Batista, Luciano, Lansky, Traficante, and...Rubio. Cubans on the island today can't win a Rubio-inspired war but the very day it ends another Revolution will begin.
