Today In UN Vote!!
Today on November 7th-2019 at the United Nations in New York the world as usual condemned the United States economic embargo against Cuba that has existed since 1962.
As noted by the graphic above, 188 nations today voted to condemn the U. S. embargo against Cuba, 3 voted to support the embargo, and 2 nations abstained from voting. As the world knows, the 188 nations that condemned the embargo today were the countries that refuse to bow to the financial and military might of the Superpower United States that shames its democracy by allowing a cadre of right-wing thugs to dictate the USA's Cuban policies for their own economic and political whims. The 3 nations today who voted to support the embargo against Cuba were the United States, Israel, and Brazil. The 2 countries who abstained today so as not to defy the U. S. were Colombia and Ukraine -- both of whom have their hands out for U. S. money and military aid. Israel is a small nation that is a nuclear-armed Superpower because of massive economic and military aid from the U. S., so Israel's vote again today to support the U. S.'s Cuban policy is a given. But the big news from today's vote at the UN involved Brazil's first-ever siding with the U. S. to support the embargo of Cuba...but that vote from Latin America's largest and wealthiest nation this time was anticipated.
The right-wing Republicans in Miami and Washington who dictate Cuban policies are basking in the election of Brazil's extreme right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro, shown above pledging his allegiance to U. S. President Donald Trump, including Bolsonaro's support of Trump's fervent desire to finally overthrow Cuba's Revolutionary government. The thumbs-up gestures shown above, which include Cuba, are rather significant considering that the U. S. is the world's Superpower and Brazil is Latin America's Superpower. Prior to Bolsonaro's extreme right-wing government, Brazil had four consecutive elections that elected extreme pro-Cuban left-wing governments but two-term President Lula da Silva is now in a controversial Brazilian prison and Dilma Rousseff was removed as President during her second term in what her followers consider coup-like conditions. So, the photo above is a fact and so is Brazil's vote in the UN today supporting the U. S. economic embargo against Cuba. Now it remains to be seen if the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba will happen while Bolsonaro and Trump remain as Presidents of Superpowers Brazil and the United States.
Today -- Nov. 7-2019 -- at the United Nations, U. S. Ambassador Kelly Craft had to defend the indefensible -- the genocidal Trump policies that have added drastically cruel dimensions to the U. S. economic embargo of Cuba, even creating food shortages for some Cuban families. In her Batistiano/Little Havana-driven speech today telling the world why the U. S. keeps assaulting totally innocent Cuban families on the island, Kelly Craft made stupid statements such as: "It is our responsibility to defend those without a voice, today most especially the people of Cuba." Today the 188 decent and brave nations -- the ones not beholden to or are afraid of the U. S. -- who condemned the embargo are well aware that such U. S. statements are meant to mask the voices of 11 million Cubans on the island while giving diabolical voices to a few right-wing thugs in a powerful nation profiting and benefiting from genocidal bullying of people in a smaller nation while hiding behind the skirts of a Superpower whose citizens are too scared or too patriotic to defend their democracy.
In 2016, the last year Barack Obama was President of the United States, not a SINGLE nation in the world voted at the UN to support the United States' embargo of Cuba, because Obama would not permit the United States itself to vote to support it at that international forum in October of 2016. But the Democrat Obama in a two-party political system was succeeded as President in 2017 by the Republican Trump, and since the 1950s Republicans have been aligned with the cruel Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba and since then with the Batistiano exiles headquartered in Miami's unchecked Little Havana extremist environs. So again on Nov. 7-2019, the UN vote on the U. S. embargo against Cuba reveals to the world that the Republican Party since the 1950s has had a distinctly Batistiano tilt.
At the UN today {Nov. 7-2019}, once again all nations not beholden to the USA or afraid of the USA once again voted to condemn the USA's embargo/blockade of Cuba. Most nations...and most people of the world...are amazed that the USA professes not to be ashamed about images such as the one above that emphatically represent to the world the USA's Cuban policies that are dictated by a few thugs within the bowels of the world's most famed DEMOCRACY!!
