Is Revolutionary Cuba Finally Ending?

The Cuban Revolution shocked the world in 1959.

     Even more shocking is the fact that Revolutionary Cuba, right below Miami, has existed for over six decades!! This photo was taken today -- July 9th, 2022 -- and it shows a peaceful, calm view of Havana's skyline and its famed Malecon Wall. But just across the Florida Straits in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood there appears to be more-and-more signs that the end of Revolutionary Cuba is near at hand, perhaps closer than it has ever been since 1959.

      Here are the Top Cuban Headlines for today -- July 9th, 2022. The top two headlines reveal that Little Havana and the United States government are celebrating the first anniversary of the protests that roiled Havana and other Cuban cities a year ago. Little Havana celebrates while Washington imposes sanctions "on 28 Cuban officials" including Cuban journalists. Meanwhile, the two bottom headlines today hint that, except for the U. S. embargo/blockade, Cuba would likely be the economic hub of the Caribbean the way it was in the 1950s when both the U. S. and the Mafia supported the Batista dictatorship and championed hordes of tourists to the island. The lower-right headline today -- from the NY-based Epoch Times -- is about the "Unexplained Deaths of 23 Senior Cuban Military Officers that Died Within 12 months, or since July of 2021." As usual, the daily congregations of Cuban headlines about Cuba reflect the fact that the island nation is saddled with always having to exist within the confines of its dangerous location that puts it due south of the superpower United States...which means:

    Such hostility from the world's superpower long ago would have likely caused much larger nations than Cuba to have capitulated, but Cuba somehow has managed to resist...decade after decade.

   Today's headline about Caribbean Airlines that "it is increasing its cargo network to and from Cuba" is merely one tiny hope in a gloomy sea of despair for Revolutionary Cuba.

      The headline today that stirred the ire of "Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez" concerned the latest of the USA's endless sanctions against Cuba and Cuban officials, this time  targeting Cuban journalists. As reported above by the powerful London-based REUTERS NEWS AGENCY, Bruno Rodriguez said, "In view of its failed attempt to provoke popular uprising in Cuba in 2021, the US government and its Secretary of State are seeking to discredit the Cuban people's victory over imperialist aggression." Of course, for many years Bruno Rodriguez...in speaking for Revolutionary Cuba...has loudly claimed that the United States, on behalf of Little Havana, has continually funded and encouraged terrorism against Cuba -- such as the deadly bombing of the civilian Cubana Flight 455 in 1976, while also funding and encouraging dissident protests on the island.

        In other words...the uneven David vs. Goliath fight that pits poor-and-blockaded Havana against ultra-rich Little Havana USA has, incredibly, existed since January of 1959. Will it FINALLY reach a coda in JULY of 2022? Maybe...maybe not!
