Mexico Fights the U. S. Blockade of Cuba

    Today -- on November 5th-2022 -- the worldwide Global News reports that only two nations in the world -- the United States and Israel -- support the U. S. Blockade of Cuba. Thus...at the United Nations this week the vote was 185-to-2 to end the six-decade-old EMBARGO. In recent years Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has emerged as the most important international supporter of the Cuban people on the besieged island. Recently as Cuba battled such calamities as the Pandemic and massively deadly explosions/fires that destroyed the island's prime tourist hotel in Havana and the island's main energy hub in Matanzas, it was Mexico that was the first nation to come to Cuba's aid.

    Now today this headline and sub-headline in The Philadelphia Inquirer reveals that President Obrador and Mexico are paying for Cuban doctors and for Cuban rocks in an effort to help the island survive the tightened economic Embargo/Blockade.

      A few years ago Lulu da Silva, when he was a two-term President of Latin American superpower Brazil, was Cuba's most important supporter...even more so than Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. But when Trump-ally Jair Bolsonaro became President of Brazil both Trump in the world superpower United States and Bolsonaro in the Latin American superpower Brazil combined to try to starkly expand the already cruel Blockade of Cuba. While Bolsonaro was Brazil's President Lulu da Silva was charged with corruption and served a long stretch in prison, but was released in time to run for President against Bolsonaro in last Sunday's election. Lulu won that election with 47.83% of the vote to Bolsonaro's 43.82%, with two other candidates getting 7.29% of the votes. Thus because Lulu didn't get 50% of the votes there will be a runoff between Lulu da Silva against Jair Bolsonaro. Indications are that Lulu will also win that runoff, which will give Cuba another massive Latin American friend.

     But in November of 2022 Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is the most important international leader that  cares the most about Cuban families that he believes are "so unfairly and so unmercifully harmed by a criminal Blockade."
