Two prime left-wing U. S. news sources -- AP & NPR -- this week appeared to join the ubiquitous right-wing media that endlessly champions and predicts the demise of Revolutionary Cuba on a daily basis and does so ceaselessly. As noted above, the AP & NPR reported this week about Cubans being among the hundreds of thousands of migrants crossing the porous Rio Grande border that separates Mexico and the United States. The widely dispersed article shown above explained that virtually everyone is leaving Cuba and selling "all" possessions that they have to finance their trips to get into the United States. Yet, every day since January of 1959 the imminent demise of Revolutionary Cuba has been lavishly reported by the U. S. media...and it hasn't happened... Not Yet.
And...meanwhile...every day since January of 1959 there also seems to be a few glimmers of hope that Revolutionary Cuba will, somehow, survive at least another FEW DAYS. For example, on July 1-2022 the airplane shown below provides a glimmer of hope for Revolutionary Cuba.
In recent years two dire anti-Cuba perils -- the Pandemic and the Blockade -- have conspired and combined to wipe out Revolutionary Cuba once and FOR all time!! For over sixty years the U. S. Embargo has been imposed to starve Cuba's economy...a Superpower ploy that probably would have long ago overthrown most nations, including many that are much larger than Cuba. But at the start of July-2022 the airplane above offers a little glimmer that a Cuban lifeline -- tourism -- might blunt a little of the U. S. effort to starve Cuba. This week the Canadian airline Off We GO began flights by its Boeing 737-400 planes "from Montreal and Toronto from Thursday to Sunday to the destinations of Holguin, Villa Clara, Varadero and Cayo Coco in Cuba." Of course, the Miami Cubans who have dictated U. S. policy regarding Cuba for decades will seek to end these flights or anything else that might permit a peso or a euro or a dollar, etc., to enter Cuba's tourism lifeline.
The Miami Cubans are also aware of the above headline and sub-headline that states: "American Airlines Eyes Return To Cuba: American Airlines is looking to resume five routes to Cuba in November 2022." Let's see? November 2022 is still five months away, so Miami Cubans have five months to dissuade American Airlines from its Cuban overtures. I mean...uh...the U. S. can't allow a tourist dollar to fly to Cuba, right???
