While Others Consider It Genocidal!!

In 1962 the United States imposed an economic EMBARGO-BLOCKADE against the nearby island nation of Cuba that was designed to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government. This was after a record number of assassination attempts against rebel leader Fidel Castro had failed and after the massive U. S. Bay of Pigs military attack against Cuba had failed to overthrow the Cuban Revolution that had overthrown the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in 1959. And since 1962 the EMBARGO-BLOCKADE, amazingly, has also failed to overthrow Cuba's revolution.
That brings us to today, which happens to be December 19th-2022. Above are today's top Cuban Headlines in the United States...none of which, as usual, speaks to the truth about the unending EMBARGO-BLOCKADE that almost all of the world's 8 billion people and almost all of America's 340 million people oppose, with many of them considering the EMBARGO-BLOCKADE to be legalizing genocide against masses of people in a small nation by a handful of benefactors in a large nation. So peruse the Cuban Headlines on December 19th-2022 but understand that, as usual, that they primarily are designed to continue the lucrative U. S. myth that all the key Cubans in the U. S. deserve to be rich and powerful while the masses of Cubans in Cuba deserve to be...starved, deprived, and made miserable.
And please understand...since the Cuban Revolution in 1959 and since the U. S. Blockade of Cuba in 1962, the mainstream U. S. media has not been the place to get the truth about U.S.-Cuban Relations. But sources such as WOLA, a prime Civil and Human Rights group for the Americas based in Washington does report truthfully about U.S.-Cuban Relations -- including the Blockade. WOLA means Washington Office on Latin America and it is the leading research and advocacy organization for advancing Human Rights in the Americas. So...WOLA is a truthful source for updates regarding U.S.-Cuba Relations, such as shown today in late December of 2022:
As highlighted above, in the closing days of 2022 the Washington Office on Latin America offers sane suggestions for the Biden administration to apply to the dreadful Trump-Biden policies regarding Cuba, which have greatly exacerbated the dreadful dictates that created the EMBARGO-BLOCKADE way back in 1962. For sure, while failing to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, those policies have surely tormented...starved, etc...generations of innocent Cubans on the island...while also surely enriching and empowering a handful of Cubans in the United States. Are those two ongoing and divergent facts the two reasons the Blockade has existed since 1962...and the reason it is tighter than ever????
Is the U. S. blockade of Cuba the longest and most genocidal embargo in history by any huge country against any much smaller country??? I am not a historian, so I don't know. But I believe the question is a legitimate one.
