At Least...a little bit!!
Make no mistake about it...Cubans on the island still believe that both the Trump and Biden administrations in Washington have tightened the already genocidal six-decade-old U. S. Blockade to appease the Miami Cubans and others who benefit from it economically and politically.
Today -- Monday, May 16th, 2022 -- above is the start of the massively important announcement from the U. S. State Department heralding: "Biden Administration Measures to Support the Cuban People." Fantastic!! At long last, after 60 years since the Embargo/Blockade began, the United States democracy lists some..."measures to support the Cuban people." WONDERFUL!!! The first promise as shown above is to: "Facilitate family reunification by reinstating the Cuba Family Reunification Parole {CFRP} Program..." Alright, sounds good.
And above are the U. S. State Departments other promises to Support the Cuban People. Also, they also look GOOD too. And the U. S. State Department, in the last sentence shown above, said: "The Administration is working expeditiously to effectuate these changes, which will be implemented via steps taken and regulatory changes made by relevant Departments and Agencies in short order."
"short order"
Above you can see how CNN News described the U. S. State Department's announcement yesterday -- May 16th-2022 -- about easing the long-standing and extremely debilitating U. S. Embargo/Blockade against Cuba. In the second paragraph above, CNN News said: "The US will still prohibit American tourism in Cuba and won't allow individuals to travel there..." Of course, by the 1950s when the U.S.-backed the brutal and thieving Batista-Mafia dictatorship, the U. S. wildly promoted U. S. citizens to visit Cuba and bring along plenty of dollar bills because major U. S. companies shared in the spoils with the Batistianos and the Mafiosi. Therefore, that sentence above means that the Biden administration is not about to severely ease the injustice that the U. S. Embargo/Blockade has created for Cuban families since 1962. As a Democracy-loving American, I and many others are also concerned how much the Embargo/Blockade hurts the United States of America in the eyes of the world.
On Monday, May 16th-2022 Cubans on the island went online to read and study the U. S. State Department's four major announcements that concern their lives, and they pored over words like "in short order." Well, as the billboard above states, Cubans on the island have been waiting for over six decades for the end of "THE LONGEST GENOCIDAL BLOCKADE IN HISTORY." Cubans on the island know what the phrase "in short order" means. Now Cubans on the island just wait to see what the U. S. State Department means.
For the record, this is how the Cuban radio, television, and print media explained the U. S. State Department's announcement about Cuba on Monday, May 16, 2022. Mostly, the Cuban media and the government put a positive spin on it.
