The popular Cuban photographer Roberto Suarez posted this photo on Facebook today -- Feb. 25th-2022. It shows Cubans on a dock watching a huge ship arrive in Havana Bay.
Meanwhile, like citizens all around the world, Cubans on the island are keenly watching the now bloody and ongoing Russia-Ukraine War that is roiling Europe...and the world.
Meanwhile, Cuba's famed anti-Cuba dissident journalist Yoani Sanchez today posted her typical anti-Cuba notice on Facebook, and elsewhere, about Cuba's "support for Russia" in the Russia-Ukraine War. From her apartment in Havana Yoani Sanchez publishes her well-funded anti-Cuba 14Y Medio digital newspaper all around the world daily.
Of course, Yoani Sanchez -- the most famed anti-Cuban dissident in Cuba -- is a dear friend of U. S. Senators Rubio & Menendez, the two most powerful anti-Cuban dissidents in the United States.
And meanwhile today -- Feb. 25-2022 -- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel -- was in the far eastern tip of the island in the town of Guantanamo, near the U.S.-occupied Guantanamo Bay and its ubiquitous U. S. military base/prison.
While in Guantanamo, President Diaz-Canel -- Cuba's former Education Minister -- spent much time with schoolchildren. He asked the girl on his right what you are happy about. She said, "I am happy about my family, my school, and my country." He then asked her what she might be sad about. She said, "The American blockade and the pandemic makes me sad."
In Guantanamo today, as usual, President Diaz-Canel asked for Cubans to tell him what it is on their minds...especially everyday citizens as well as local officials.
From Havana in the west to Guantanamo in the east, the saddest thing in the minds of most Cubans is the U. S. blockade, which began as an economic embargo 60 years ago -- in February of 1962. While designed to starve and overthrow the island's Revolutionary government, in February of 2022 it is now considered "genocidal" to most Cubans and "the largest/longest blockade in history ever imposed by any large nation against any small nation."
At the end of February 2022 Cuba remains the largest island nation in the Caribbean and it's right on the USA's southern doorstep. With normal relations with the United States...as President Obama envisioned in 2016...Cuba would soon become the most prosperous Caribbean nation...and one of the USA's best Trade Partners. Of course.............
.........those who benefit from embargoing/blockading Cuba will prevail, so even if the vast majority disagree, they will continue to PREVAIL for another six decades or so.
