Cubans On the Island Cringe!!
During the Democratic Obama presidency Josefina Vidal, Cuba's top diplomat related to U. S. affairs, powerfully represented the island in fashioning a sane normalization process between the two nations. But starting on January 20th-2017 the Republican President Donald Trump replaced Obama and Vidal was abundantly aware that the transition in Washington was the difference between sanity and insanity as well as the difference between decency and indecency as far as families in Cuba were concerned. In that milieu, it was Vidal who uttered the statement depicted in red above: "Cuba is not going to renege on its principles nor the ideas it has always believed in."
Now shift forward to today, a week before the Nov. 3rd-2020 U. S. presidential election. Josefina Vidal is now Cuba's Ambassador to Canada. And today she topped off her Facebook page with these words from Ottawa: "407 Western Union payment points will close in Cuba due to the brutal measures taken by the US Government against remittances. Another example of the policy of maximum cruelty against the Cuban people and families, even more so in times of the COVID-19 pandemic." In an effort to starve "the Cuban people and families," Vidal is aware that the Trump administration, as a trade-off that he thinks will win him Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes in next week's election, has allowed self-serving Little Havana Cubans in Miami and in Congress to dictate genocidal-type policies against Cubans on the island. Decent Cuban-Americans send several billion dollars to their families on the island each year and, of course, the likes of Little Havana benefactors such as Senator Marco Rubio had rather see those family members in Cuba starve than have money to survive on. While Vidal understands that situation, the propagandized and intimidated American citizens are not supposed to comprehend or at least not to object to such things lest it angers Counter Revolutionary Cubans like Rubio.
While the brilliant and decent Cuban diplomat Josefina Vidal adamantly fights to keep what she perceives as Cuban-Americans like Marco Rubio from trying to starve Cuban families on the island, from her position in Ottawa as Cuba's Ambassador to Canada she also places most of the blame on "cowardly and sanctimonious United States citizens who allow it to happen. Rubio's political and economic fortunes may be tied to the genocide against Cuban families but the U. S. citizens don't share such egregious rewards, but yet they silently condone it."
During the Obama presidency the very skilled and decent U. S. diplomat Roberto Jacobson led U. S. efforts in highly publicized private and public meetings with Cuba's skilled and decent diplomat Josefina Vidal. These two brilliant female diplomats corrected most of the indecent portions of the USA's six-decade-old economic Embargo against Cuba. Thus, in October of 2016 the entire world voted 191-to-0 in the United Nations to condemn the Embargo because even Obama's U. S. vote, and therefore Israel's, REFUSED to support it.
During the U.S.-Cuba normalization negotiations during the Obama presidency, three decent and brilliant diplomats were at the forefront -- Jeffrey DeLaurentis and Roberto Jacobson representing the United States while Josefina Vidal represented Cuba. At the time DeLaurentis was the charge d'affaires at the U. S. Embassy in Havana that Obama had reopened for the first time in six decades. President Obama, after normalizing relations with Cuba as best he could, nominated the universally respected DeLaurentis as the U. S. Ambassador to Cuba and nominated the highly respected Jacobson to the job she wanted as U. S. Ambassador to Mexico. Immediately Rubio used his Senate position to stop DeLaurentis from being Ambassador to Cuba and cruelly seeked bitter revenge against Jacobson for being the Ambassador to Mexico.
During the Republican primary in 2016 when both of them were candidates to be President, Rubio and Trump called each other vile names. They hate each other to this day but once he became President Trump shook Rubio's hand and anointed Rubio as the Dictator of Cuba on U. S. soil. Trump's payoff, he believed, was that Little Havana's Counter Revolutionary zealots who sent Rubio to the U. S. Senate could and would provide Trump with Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes needed for his 2020 reelection in November. That trade-off should go down as America's most egregious political pay-off in history. Quickly not only did Dictator Rubio ditch decent and brilliant U. S. diplomats such as DeLaurentis and Jacobson, Rubio also saturated the U. S. State Department and Western Hemisphere departments WITH ONLY vicious LIFETIME anti-Cuban zealots such as Mauricio Claver-Carone. Therefore, the genocidal U. S. efforts to starve Cuban families on the island goes on unabated daily since Rubio was anointed the U. S. Dictator of Cuba!!!!
That's why today -- October 28th, 2020 -- Cuba's Ambassador to Canada Josefina Vidal, from Ottawa, topped off her Facebook page with these cogent words: "407 Western Union payment points will close in Cuba due to the brutal measures taken by the US Government against remittances. Another example of the policy of maximum cruelty against the Cuban people and families, even more so in times of the COVID-19 pandemic."
In other words, Josefina Vidal {who is massively admired in Canada} knows the definition of genocide and she believes that Little Havana today equates to what Havana was in the 1950's during the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship, which was prior to the...uh...Cuba Revolution's triumph in 1959.
