Cuba Under Siege!!
This afternoon -- April 29th -- a 4.5 magnitude earthquake rattled Cuba near the southeastern city of Baracoa. It was first reported at 6.6 magnitude but later downgraded to 4.5. Back in January the same area experienced a 7.7 magnitude earthquake.
Cuba continues to battle against the Coronavirus that has taken 58 deaths on the island as of today...with no new deaths reported in the past 24 hours.
The excellent Associated Press journalist based in Havana, Andrea Rodriguez, today has an important article entitled: "Pandemic Crisis Squeezes Cuba's Fragile Private Businesses."
Andrea Rodriguez's report from Havana used this AP/Ismael Francisco photo to illustrate that almost all private businesses in Cuba have "Closed Because Of Coronavirus COVID-19." Prior to the Trump administration's tightening of the U. S. Blockade against the island starting in 2017, and then the Coronavirus pandemic this year, hundred of thousands of private businesses on the island had begun to take full advantage of President Obama's herculean efforts to normalize relations with Cuba. Now the tight Little-Havana/Trump blockade of the island, and with tourism now shut-down because of the pandemic, private businesses like the one above are totally blocked by both Trump's USA and the Coronavirus.
A great journalist for Newsweek, Tom O'Connor today has a superb and detailed update on the massive Caribbean military build-up by the Trump administration that not only threatens Venezuela and Cuba but also intends to facilitate the USA's and Little Havana's long-desired regime-changes in both countries.
The must-read article provided by Tom O'Connor/Newsweek uses the graphic above to explain that the U. S. says that the reason for the military option against Cuba and Venezuela is needed because of "enhanced counternarcotics operations in the East Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea." The article points out that the USA's big ally against Venezuela and Cuba is Colombia, the nation responsible for "most" of the illegal drugs entering the U. S. while Cuba is notable for actually helping the U. S. fight the drug trade...and Venezuela told Newsweek that the U. S. military excursion is using the pretext of the narcotics accusation to expedite its war efforts.
Trump and Little Havana expected to orchestrate the regime-change in Venezuela way back in January of 2019 but blames little Cuba for propping up the Maduro government in Venezuela that the U. S. accuses of being aligned fully with the FARC rebels in Colombia to saturate the U. S. with illegal drugs. Of course, the U. S. doesn't credit the massive Colombian and Mexican drug cartels with their massive responsibilities, not if blaming Cuba and Venezuela will fulfill Little Havana's fervent desire to finish off the regime change in Venezuela before its prime regime change -- in Cuba -- occurs.
While the mainstream U. S. media, including the left-wing extremists obsessed with destroying Trump, remains too afraid of Little Havana to discuss the dangers of regime-changes in Cuba and Venezuela, a brave and competent journalist, Tom O'Connor, fairly and importantly discusses the situation this week in Newsweek. Americans should study Tom O'Connor's article carefully...very carefully.
And, yes, America...the United States military regime-change in Venezuela is calculated as a preclude to Little Havana's regime-change in Cuba. And, yes, IT IS ACTUALLY A BIG DEAL that will likely have continually and bloody consequences for our children's and grandchildren's generations. The military operation detailed above by Newsweek was announced by the Trump administration this month -- on April 1, 2020 -- and now in this last full day of April-2020 a great journalist, Tom O'Connor, superbly updates the impending and ongoing crisis developing on America's backdoor...in case Americans are interested or concerned.
Venezuela's Vice Minister for North America, Carlos Ron, suggested to Newsweek this week that the USA's military threat to Venezuela is an "intimidation" that could flare into a dangerous conflagration provoked by Trump and Little Havana because Trump has only six months before his first 4-year term as President faces the voters for a possible re-election to a second term in November. And Carlos Ron, apparently speaking for Venezuela and perhaps for Cuba, suggests that Counter Revolutionaries in Miami believe they have a six-month window, while Trump is still certain to be President, to overthrow Havana after first taking care of prime Cuban allies in Managua and Caracas.

For sure, the United States has the economic and military wherewithal to execute regime-changes in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua...especially if nuclear Superpowers Russia and China accept it and if the U. S. people will accept another long, bloody war that will spawn continuous wars and/or revolutions in its wake.
The Democrat Joe Biden has, perhaps, a 50-50 chance to defeat the Republican Donald Trump in November's presidential election. Biden for 8 years was President Obama's Vice President while Obama was normalizing relations with Cuba and turning Cuba into an entrepreneurial and tourist mecca, both of which were ended by Trump's total allegiance to Little Havana extremists. This week Biden told CBS News that, if he wins in November, "In large part, I will go back" to Obama's normalization of relations with Cuba. In other words, Havana as well as Managua and Caracas have HUGE STAKES in the outcome of November's U. S. election. And, as always, so does Little Havana USA. Little Havana can totally dictate to the Republican Party but, at least for this moment in time, it is not in control of the Democratic Party...at least YET.
After Obama bravely opened the U. S. Embassy in Havana, Trump has done Little Havana's bidding to close it, except for staffing it will people doing Little Havana's bidding.
Briefly, while Obama was President, Cubans and Americans relished normal relations...till Trump's presidency turned the USA's Cuban policies solely back over to Little Havana extremists. A second four-year term as President for Trump might result in Little Havana taking over the USA, not just Cuba!!!
