Yes, Cuba Seeks Help From Non-US Nations

 

    In November of 2022 Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel believed that the ageless, 6-decade-old U. S. Embargo/Blockade was increasingly starving the nation's vulnerable economy as well as more-and-more beginning to starve the masses of Cuban people themselves. Thus he embarked on a long, expensive journey to four nations -- Algeria, Russia, Turkey, and China -- that he believed were able to help Cuba and, moreover, will not be too afraid to displease the economic and military Superpower United States. The photos above showing President Diaz-Canel being powerfully welcomed to Moscow by President Vladimir Putin has, not surprisingly, angered the U. S. government and the U. S. media the most.

     But non-U.S. sources -- such as the Spanish media giant EL PAIS -- are much less biased and more sympathetic to President Diaz-Canel's 4-nation mission. As shown above, EL PAIS even explained that Cuba did not vote in the UN to support Russia's invasion of Ukraine but Cuba has few options in its quest to survive the U. S. blockade and therefore must seek help wherever it can...including Putin's Russia.

     But all four of the powerful Presidents of Algeria, Russia, Turkey, and China have hosted President Diaz-Canel this week even more lavishly and extravagantly than expected -- including China's ultra-powerful President Zi Jinping. For sure, China is the biggest threat to replace the United States as the world's top economic and military Superpower. Like the other three strong presidential hosts, President Zi strongly gave President Diaz-Canel a military salute...and President Zi also took time to formally introduce President Diaz-Canel to top Chinese Ministers that he said will help Cuba survive the Blockade.

     This photo shows President Zi introducing President Diaz-Canel to key Chinese officials that presumably will help Cuba survive the U. S. Blockade of Cuba.

     In all four nations -- Algeria, Russia, China, and Turkey -- Cuban President Diaz-Canel was allowed to make long speeches on both television and to legislative sessions.

     The major speeches by President Diaz-Canel on his four-nation tour were also carried live on newscasts back in Cuba.

     Algeria's President Abdelmadjid Tebboune loudly told President Diaz-Canel and the world that, "The blockade against Cuba is a criminal calamity of historic proportions." 

    Turkey is an ultra-powerful member of NATO and President Racep Tayyip Erdogan, while sitting next to President Diaz-Canel, told his legislature and a nationwide television audience, "Our cooperation and solidarity with Cuba must be increased because for much too long NATO's strongest nation, the United States, has been allowed to intimidate the world and continue for all these decades a genocidal program against the everyday people of a tiny nation, our friend Cuba."
