little Cuba and BIG CUBA

Why It Punches Above Its Size!!
     The AFP/Getty Images photo above reminds us that TODAY IN LATIN AMERICA -- on January 5th, 2020 -- and in the world that little Cuba continues to punch way above its size on the internationally stage. The Cuban Revolution's 1959 win over the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship AND then surviving six decades of relentless U. S. efforts to recapture the island has created that unique Cuban reputation. Juan Guaido is shown above being introduced last night at President Trump's State of the Union speech in the United States Congress. Guaido is Trump's fervent pick as the President of Venezuela in the ongoing coup attempt designed to replace another Cuba ally, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, with another U.S.-friendly leader. Back in January of 2019 it was believed Guaido would eminently overthrow the embattled Maduro within hours because Trump desired Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes and Guaido's presidency in Venezuela was/is one of Trump's payoffs to Cuban Counter Revolutionaries in Miami and in Congress for their gifts to him of those precious 29 Electoral Votes in Florida.
      Cuba is one of the island nations in the Caribbean Sea that includes the U. S. Territory of Puerto Rico and many other small nations that can apparently expect lush financial gifts or other incentives  from the United States if they help the United States re-DOMINATE Cuba. On the periphery of the Caribbean Sea are larger Latin American nations such as powerhouse Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, etc. -- and even long-time Cuban ally Bolivia, which recently had a coup that put a anti-Cuba/U.S.-friendly government in place -- suddenly growing the list of anti-Cuban USA allies. Near the bottom of the above map you can see Cuban allies Nicaragua and Venezuela, both of whom are facing massive pressure and dire threats from Washington and Miami to join the anti-Cuban U. S. contingency.
     As a small and peaceful nation Cuba should not have been even mentioned in President Trump's State of the Union speech last night that was carried live on all major U. S. television stations and networks. But Trump, whose Cuban policy is totally dictated by anti-Cuban extremists, included in his speech this exact statement: "As we restore American leadership throughout the world, we are once again standing up for freedom in our hemisphere. That is why my administration revised the failing policies of the previous administration on Cuba." And then Trump went on to declare that he will be "increasing sanctions aimed at their political, economical and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua." Of course, the pusillanimous, intimidated, and propagandized American people, including the left-wingers who vehemently hate Trump, are supposed to accept those words although everyone knows such sanctions by the Superpower against a tiny nation mostly hurt, deprive, and harm totally innocent people in perpetually targeted Cuba.
     The extreme cowardice of Americans regarding Cuban extremists, including the left-wing Trump haters, meekly means acceptance of Trump's Quid Pro Quo activation of Title III that clearly legalizes genocide against totally Cuban men, women, and children on the island to appease a handful of greedy, spiteful, rich, and powerful Cuban-American Counter Revolutionaries. {Not even the George W. Bush presidency, which was totally aligned with the Cuban extremists in Miami, would activate Title III because even Bush considered it to be too genocidal}.
      Senator Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump verily hate each other but they shook hands on their self-serving crusade to re-capture Cuba. Rubio, of course, represents Cuban extremists in the Little Havana area of Miami while Trump believes that Little Havana can and will deliver to him Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes in 2020's presidential election.
     Once Trump anointed Rubio as America's latest Cuban dictator ala Batista, Rubio has been allowed to install ONLY anti-Cuban zealots such as Mauricio Claver-Carone into positions dictating America's Cuban and Latin American policies. The viciously anti-Cuban Claver-Carone, with Rubio's support, is currently directing the genocidal actions against Cuba such as Title III-Helms-Burton.
      Most Americans, of course, have never heard of Mauricio Claver-Carone. But in their names, Claver-Carone has the omnipotent power of the U. S. treasury and the U. S. military to employ whatever he chooses to finally bring Revolutionary Cuba to its knees. And it is apparent that Claver-Carone knows his window to do so is prior to November of 2020 because he doesn't want to await Trump's possible re-election that would give Claver-Carone four more years in which to re-capture Cuba.
       Almost totally Unknown to the American people, for the past two decades Mauricio Claver-Carone, shown wearing the red tie above, has labored tenaciously in Washington to defeat Revolutionary Cuba. His prime job has been to solicit extreme gobs of financial bundles to promote his anti-Cuban endeavors, with many millions of those dollars used to buy-up support in the U. S. Congress.
      In America's democracy, Cuba's total uniqueness means that just three self-serving anti-Cuban zealots like Mauricio Claver-Carone, Marco Rubio, and Mario Diaz-Balart can totally dictate America's Cuban policies, especially when a Republican happens to be President. Americans have been proselytized, propagandized, and intimidated to believe that this is an acceptable element of their democracy. And that's why I believe that Cuba says a lot more about the United States than it says about Cuba.
      Republican Presidents dictated for over six decades by two generations of Attack Brigade 2506 Cuban extremists in Little Havana shame America and Democracy. And from the BAY OF PIGS attack in April of 1961 till Trump's STATE OF THE UNION speech on February 4th, 2020, the U. S. democracy has not been able to do anything about it.
      Last night the Democratic leader in the U. S. Congress, Nancy Pelosi, famously and emphatically tore up Trump's State of the Union speech to let the whole world know how much she viciously hates Trump. Yet, not even Nancy Pelosi has the courage to criticize Trump for his QUID PRO QUO Title III genocide against innocent Cubans. That fact and that photo above is JUST ONE MORE REMINDER of little Cuba's mammothly big impact on the mighty United States democracy.
