Once again in these closing days of February-2022, little Cuba has been thrust deeply into the U.S.-Russia Cold War, this time because of the Hot War now being waged in Europe by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
As always in the U. S. the vast and lucrative Little Havana/Miami-fueled anti-Cuba Cottage Industry uses any excuse to toss more gas on the flames of the U.S.-Cuba conundrum, which strife means more money and more power for benefactors in Miami, Newark, and Washington. The Miami Herald in the top-left above and, in the lower-left, the Washsington Post, owned by the ultra-rich Jeff Bezos who is the step-son of a notable Cuba-born American, are typical biased current headlines tightly tying Cuba to this latest conflict.
But little Cuba, a mere 90 miles from the southern tip of Florida, has always been historically viewed as a Piggybank by rich and politically powerful Americans...especially since 1898 when the U. S. won the easy Spanish-American War in Cuba; especially from 1952-1959 when the U.S.-backed the Mafia-riddled Batista dictatorship, and since 1959 when the Cuban Revolution remarkably booted the Batistianos, Mafiosi, and the American businessmen off the Caribbean's largest and most luscious island nation!!
The London-based BBC News and other media giants are reporting live around the world on the "bloody" Russian-Ukraine War in Europe.
Surprisingly, the President of the Russian Duma/Parliament Viocheslav Volodin in these crucial hours of the bloody Russian-Ukraine War was meeting with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel in Havana. As shown above, they held a well-attended news conference that was carried on Cuban newscasts. Diaz-Canel was very polite to Volodin but suggested "some diplomatic solution to the Ukraine problem."
Because of being coveted by world powers since Columbus discovered it in 1492 and proclaimed in his diary that "It is the most beautiful land these eyes have seen," Cuba has been involved in bloody defensive wars, revolutionary wars, and in world wars, not to mention the Cold War that has pitted the superpower USA against other world powers. So, being forced to punch far above its size on the World Globe has long been Cuba's fate.
