The cartoon above by the The Institute of Policy Studies shows current U. S. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, smiling and the previous U. S. President Donald Trump, a Republican, smirking. Stymied by the USA's two-party political system, neither the smile nor the smirk is amusing to 11 million innocent Cubans on their Caribbean island in September of 2022 who are facing dire hardships from energy blackouts, food shortages, and other problems acutely being exacerbated by the Trump-Biden Embargo that has existed since 1962 but has been drastically expanded in the past six years by these two men.
Starting in January of 2017 the Republican President Donald Trump drastically bowed to only the most extremist Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans in Miami and in Congress to expand the six-decade-old Embargo into what millions...nee billions...of people consider U. S. genocide against masses of Cubans in Cuba. In January of 2021 when Democrat President Joe Biden replaced the Republican Trump, many observers believed that Biden would stop at least the most genocidal aspects of the Embargo, but that simply has not happened...even though Biden had spent 8 years as the Vice President during Democrat Barack Obama's two-term presidency from 2009 till 2017. Obama has been the ONLY U. S. President since the 1898 Spanish-American War that had the guts and compassion to try to end the USA's genocidal Embargo against Cuba that still so powerful appeases and benefits a band of rich and ultra-powerful Cuban-Americans in Miami and in Congress.
As President of the United States Barack Obama even had the guts and compassion to actually make an historic TRIP to CUBA in March of 2016.
In march of 2016 on his trip to Cuba President Obama had the guts and compassion to go on national radio and television to tell the Cuban people: "Cuba Does Not Need To Fear A Threat From The United States." On behalf of the U. S. Democracy, President Obama meant those words and, very importantly, so did the Cuban people. But unfortunately, soon after he spoke those words Obama was followed as President of the United States by first Republican Trump and then the Democrat Biden. So thus since the sincere Obama told the Cubans in Cuba there was "no need to FEAR the United States", the U. S. Democracy has simply not been strong enough to back up the words he so bravely and decently told the Cuban people.
Yes, each year for decades the nations of the world have voted to "LIFT THE EMBARGO!!/"LIFT THE EMBARGO." In fact, in 2016 the UN vote to end the Embargo was 191-to-0 because the U. S. President in 2016, Obama, had both the guts and the compassion to to make sure that the United States ITSELF did not vote to JUSTIFY the UNJUSTIFIABLE!!!
