Cuba After US's Nov. 8th Election

     The November 8th-2022 midterm U. S. elections revealed the well--known sharp divide in the USA's two-party political system. But the last two U. S. Presidents -- the Republican Donald Trump and the Democrat Joe Biden have both agreed to sharply expand the six-decade-old U. S. economic Embargo-Blockade of Cuba to appease the rich and politically powerful Cuban-Americans in Miami and in Congress. The mainstream U. S. media has relinquished its courage and integrity when it comes to producing unbiased reports regarding Cuba but today -- on November 9th-2022 -- the best worldwide article related to U.S.-Cuba Relations was sent around the world by a renowned Travel Writer & Author.
      The famed UK Travel Writer-Author Simon Calder is published around the world by the London-based The Independent and many other forums. His article after the November 9th U. S. election was about the Trump-Biden torment of Cuban families, specifically pinpointing one of Trump's cruelest attacks that his successor Biden inherited and has yet to overturn -- putting Cuba on the U. S. Sponsors of Terrorism list that had only previously included North Korea, Iran, and Syria. While, of course, the mainstream media in the U. S. doesn't have the courage to report such things regarding Cuba, today Simon Calder does have both the courage and talent to do so, as shown below:
    Simon Calder's first paragraph on November 9th-2022: "President Trump's final act against Cuba was to place the island on Washington's list of 'state sponsors of terrorism {SST}'. His successor, Joe Biden, has left the designation in place." While the cruel designation direly adds to the already dire effects of the ageless Embargo-Blockade against Cubans on the island, it greatly appeases and empowers Cubans in Miami and in Congress. In the second and third paragraphs above by Simon Calder, he points out that the 143 Counter Revolutionary sanctions against Cuba, such as adding Cuba to the USA's Sponsors of Terrorism list, also harms the freedoms of other nations...such as ENGLAND!!!
    Back on January 11, 2021 two journalists {see above} for NBC News reported that "The Trump administration declared Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism on Monday, the latest in a series of actions aimed at undoing the Obama-era legacy of opening U. S. relations with the island nation just weeks before President-elect Joe Biden takes office." Since the above article, there has been scant reporting by the U. S. media regarding the continuing barrage of assaults on Cubans in Cuba by the island's Superpower northern neighbor.
